How does PBA Masonry design walkways and driveways to handle drainage and prevent frost heave?
We incorporate proper grading, base preparation (with crushed stone or gravel), and use permeable or well-draining materials. Edge restraints and adequate sub-base compacting are used so that water flows off, not under, the hardscape. For driveways, we factor in load, thickness, and freeze-thaw protection so surfaces stay stable through harsh winters.
