Q/01
Why does Glacier engineer the parts of a hardscape you can't see?
We over-engineer the parts you can't see. Geotextile separation, structural or permeable bases, edge restraints, and drainage falls — specified to outlive the warranty.
ReferenceFAQ
Common questions.
Six things people most often ask before bringing us in on a paver, stone, or retaining project across the Sea-to-Sky corridor and North Shore.
Q/02
How does Glacier guarantee accurate grading and base preparation?
Every grade is shot with a Leica Rugby 680 laser. Base elevations, falls, and tolerances measured at every layer — not just the finish.
Q/03
Who actually builds the work — Glacier or subcontractors?
Owners are on every site. Nothing is subcontracted out, so the standard never changes between visits.
Q/04
How does Glacier choose finishes that hold up over a decade?
Clean lines, balanced layouts, and finishes chosen to age well. The detail you notice on day one is the detail you'll see in ten years.
Q/05
What is Glacier's communication style during a project?
Honest timelines, fixed scope, and no surprise change orders. You'll know what we're doing and why.
Q/06
How is Glacier's work tuned for the Pacific Northwest climate?
Drainage falls, base depth, and joint detail tuned for Pacific Northwest freeze-thaw, heavy rain, and coastal salt air. Built for the climate it lives in.
