Verify Contractor Work
Use these checklists to confirm your contractor is completing every step — not cutting corners on base preparation, permits, or materials that affect the 10–15 year lifespan of your project.
Desert Climate Requirements
Las Vegas installations require steps that don't apply elsewhere — deeper excavation for expansive soil, SNWA-compliant irrigation scheduling, UV-rated materials, and monsoon drainage planning.
Protect Your Investment
Skipping a single step — like polymeric sand activation or weed barrier overlap — can result in $5,000+ in repairs within 3 years. These checklists exist because we've fixed those mistakes.
Installation FAQ — Las Vegas
What is the most important step in paver installation?
Base preparation. Nevada's expansive desert soil shifts with temperature extremes and monsoon moisture. A properly compacted 6–8 inch crushed aggregate base prevents settling, heaving, and cracking over time.
Do I need a permit to build a pergola in Las Vegas?
Yes. Clark County and the City of Las Vegas require permits for permanent pergolas. Unpermitted structures can block home sales and may require demolition — never skip this step.
What should I check before artificial turf installation?
Confirm HOA approval in writing, verify the installer is excavating 3–4 inches of native soil, and ensure a proper crushed aggregate base and drainage slope away from the home.
How long before I can walk on new pavers?
24 hours after polymeric sand activation for foot traffic, 72 hours for vehicle traffic. Rushing this step dislodges the sand before it hardens and weakens the joint permanently.
