How a Paver Patio Holds Up Through a Union, IL, Winter Depends on What Was Built Beneath It
The pavers are the surface. The base is the structure. And in Union and across Northern Illinois, where the frost line sits at 42 inches and the freeze-thaw cycle runs from November through March, the base is where the patio either succeeds or starts to fail.
A paver patio that was installed on a properly excavated, compacted, and graded aggregate base will handle the ground movement, the snowmelt, and the seasonal shifts without developing the settling, heaving, and joint separation that plague patios built on shortcuts. The homeowner will not think about the base. They will just notice that the patio still looks level five years after it was installed.
“Found Daybreaker Landscapes through my neighbor. We used them to install a French drain in the backyard to prevent standing water. They did a fantastic job. Even with the heavy equipment, when finished my yard was left immaculate. The work done looked amazing and blended seamlessly.”
