Understand what different investment levels achieve for your San Diego driveway and front yard.
Quality paver driveway installation with professional base work and proper drainage.

Driveways fail when base work is skimped. Use this checklist to find contractors who build driveways that last.
What base depth do you install for driveways?
Driveways need 6"+ compacted base to handle vehicle weight. Less means cracking and settling.
Is demolition and haul-away included?
Some contractors quote low then add $2-5K for removing your old driveway.
Are your crews CMHA/ICPI certified?
Certification means trained in proper base prep for vehicular traffic loads.
Do you document base installation?
Photos prove proper depth and compaction — critical for warranty claims.
What's your general liability coverage?
Heavy equipment demolition near your home carries real risk.
Do you have a written on-time guarantee?
You need your driveway back. Accountability prevents endless delays.
How long have you been in business?
Driveway warranties are worthless if the company disappears.
Red flags: Base depth under 6 inches, prices way below competitors (they're cutting base thickness), no demolition/haul-away in the quote, and no written timeline for completion.
