We spend our effort on what you can't see
When a wall, walkway or driveway fails, it usually isn't the part you see. It fails because the footing was too shallow, the base wasn't packed or water had nowhere to go. So that's where we put our time, digging out to solid ground, compacting the base in layers and giving water a way out before a single brick or paver goes down.
It's slower, and it's work nobody admires once it's buried. But a wall that looks good on day one doesn't help you if it leans or cracks a few years later. I want your job to look as good down the road as it does the day we leave, and that starts underneath.
