Old World Cobble: Experienced Landscaping Services Serving Los Gatos, CA 95031

As an ICPI-certified installer, Old World Cobble uses proper techniques and materials to prevent common failures. This includes ensuring adequate base compaction, which can be tested by a local soil engineer, and using approved materials like Geo textile fabric, Class II base rock, and C33 concrete sand. They also employ mortar bond beam retention, where the outer pavers are set on a concrete footing as deep as the compacted base, enhancing stability. These methods, backed by certifications from organizations like the National Concrete Masonry Association, help driveways and patios last for years without issues like soil migration or premature wear.

For Los Gatos residents dealing with landscape drainage issues, Old World Cobble offers solutions through their hardscaping services. They specialize in constructing retaining walls and patios with proper grading and permeable paver installations, which help manage water runoff and prevent pooling. As a PICPI-certified permeable paver installer, they use techniques that allow water to filter through surfaces, reducing erosion and improving drainage. Additionally, they can incorporate rain harvesting options to capture and reuse rainwater, addressing both drainage concerns and water conservation needs in the local area.
