Paver & Travertine Decking

Drainage-First Design for Lasting Beauty

At Green Panda Landscaping, we recognize that durable decking is the foundation of a beautiful, functional yard.

Our Decking (Pavers & Travertine) service is centered on a crucial principle often overlooked by others: drainage-first design. We ensure your new walking surface not only provides stunning aesthetics but also protects your home and yard from water damage, eliminating the common problems of flooding and improper grading.

Solving Water Problems from the Ground Up

Homeowners often contact us after experiencing the frustration of sunken pavers, pooling water, or even minor flooding near their foundations or pools. These issues are almost always caused by improper base preparation and a lack of attention to site grading. Our decking service near you is ideal for homeowners with existing drainage issues, those replacing old decking, or new builds that require a long-lasting, reliable surface.

We approach every decking project with structural integrity as the priority, guaranteeing that the surface is beautiful and built to last.

The Green Panda Difference: Our Drainage-First Process

Our process is meticulous, transparent, and specifically designed to prevent long-term failures, setting us apart from standard contractors.

Strict Grading 

We begin with strict grading away from the home and pool. This is a non-negotiable step that ensures the yard flows correctly, redirecting water away from critical structures.

Expert Base Compaction

We utilize water compaction of the base layer. This unique method ensures the foundation beneath your pavers or travertine is settled, dense, and uniform, which directly prevents the problem of sunken pavers down the line.

Underground Drainage

We are experts in drainage (a rarity in the industry). When necessary, we advise on and install underground drains and gutters to manage significant water runoff, ensuring improved flow around homes and pools.

Material Expertise

We provide honest guidance and advise against weak stone materials or failing soft stone materials. We use quality pavers and durable travertine with the correct hardness rating, avoiding soft materials like limestone to ensure long-lasting surfaces resistant to weather.

Durable Materials for Long-Term Results

The key benefits of choosing Green Panda Landscaping for your decking project are long-term performance and peace of mind.
