  • Pro Pavers Houston Update on Sunterra Paver Patio Project

    Pro Pavers Houston Update on Sunterra Paver Patio Project

    On Monday, May 6, 2024, Pro Pavers Houston (PPH), broke ground on a 560 square feet paver patio, 71 linear feet planter border and 102 linear feet drainage system project in Sunterra, Texas, and was ready for customer use on Thursday, May 9th.

    Sunterra is the new 2,303 acre #1 selling master planned community in Texas, according to the Sunterra website. Sunterra is sprawled out Northwest of Katy, Texas, starting at the Northwest corner of Clay Rd. and Pitts Rd in the 77493 zip code. StarWood Land, which was established in 2007 and has acquired 90 communities as of 2024, is the Developer. The community’s HOA is managed by GrandManors Management.

    Sunterra’s Sol Club boasts the Lagoon Amenity Village with white sand beaches that is sure to draw kayakers and paddle boarders. Another attraction planned for 2025, The Retreat Amenity Village, will feature a giant lazy river swim facility.

    Business Owners, Travis Pavelka, of PPH and, Will Enoch of ENOCH GROUP Data (EGD) dba Brick Paver Repair Houston, have maintained a working relationship since 2010. EGD has handled much of PPH’s commercial project estimating on Interlocking Pavement Systems (IPS), Segmental Retaining Walls (SRW) and Pedestal Pavement Systems (PPS) projects since 2018. Their dealings have experienced an uptick in partnering on the residential sector project closings in 2024.

    Will worked closely together with PPH customer, Teri A., on her project’s design, material selection and project start day layout. Teri chose Belgard’s Travertino combo-sized pavers for the patio field in the ivory tone. The 560 square feet patio is accented by a special ordered 71 linear feet suede toned soldier course border in the Hollandstone product line which encircles the entire paver patio’s perimeter and extends further to form the planter borders. Travis facilitated materials delivery and the PPH Operations Team hit the installation out of the park.

    Did Teri attain the results she was looking for? She answers, “I had a smaller backyard of just grass. I was looking to give it some personality and add a space to relax and enjoy the outdoors. The Pro Pavers team did a phenomenal job. I absolutely love it!”

    In-addition-to the seen components, the unseen components of an Interlocking Pavement System (IPS) are the backbone that should withstand the test of use, poor soil condition of the Texas Gulf Coast Region, and time. These are the reasons Will includes geo-textile fabric within the scope of work for his client, PPH. “This often unused material is an inexpensive insurance policy against cracking clayey soils, which are prevalent in our region”, says Will.

    Geo-textile fabric typically stops fissures within dry clayey soils from transferring up through the prepared subbase when installing IPS causing the pavement surface to split apart as well. This ‘insurance policy’ is placed upon the face of the excavated and compacted area. A prepared subbase of a minimum thickness of 4 inches for pedestrian applications and 6 inches minimum for vehicular applications is then placed atop the geo-textile fabric and compacted in proper lift thicknesses according to the application and compaction ability of the compaction equipment.

    The type of pavement edge restraints and how they are installed is another component of IPS. Without proper edge restraints, the pavers will typically creep out horizontally, further weakening the system and leading to a need for paver repairs. Will’s business, Brick Paver Repair Houston (BPRH) repairs many, many distressed IPS and failing edge restraints is a typical cause for repair.

    PPH’s installation of their latest Sunterra hardscape and drainage project is crafted with focus on correctly incorporating each component of the IPS.

  • Brick Paver Repairs “Minimize Trip Hazard Liability & Maximize Aesthetics” In Houston Area

    Brick Paver Repairs “Minimize Trip Hazard Liability & Maximize Aesthetics” In Houston Area

    Brick Paver Repair Houston

    “A shot of botoxx for your paver patio”, is what a customer calls ENOCH GROUP dba Brick Paver Repair Houston’s (BPRH) services. That is true. BPRH is the actual Interlocking Pavement System Specialist (IPSS) that actually handles hands on the lifting of sagging paver areas, smoothing out the surface wrinkles, performing the maintenance as well as completing the makeovers of brick paver patios, driveways, pool decks walkways, parking lots and brick paver streets. BPRH is the actual hands on business whose goal it is to “Limit trip hazard liability and maximize aesthetics” of IPS and not a lead service provider.

    BPRH services residential and commercial paver repair, evaluation, and maintenance requirements within the Houston, TX Area including Pearland, Bellaire, Katy, Memorial Area, Missouri City, Richmond TX, Sugar Land, The Heights and as far away as Friendswood and The Woodlands, Texas.

    The longer paver repairs are ‘put on the back burner’, so to speak, the longer the property is in jeopardy of trip hazard liability, worsening of unseen underground components, leading to higher repair costs and continued loss of the property’s curb appeal.

    The solution, according to BPRH Owner, Will Enoch, is to contact him, “as soon as distress forms in your paver systems, or before any house foundation, plumbing or landscape work is considered that will affect an IPS. This way, the paver system’s reinstatement process will ensue seamlessly without extra costs to re-do the contractor’s attempt at IPS reinstatement or attempt to backfill trenches with clay soils that will typically settle over time. We are indeed a real Interlocking Pavement Systems Specialist business. We are not a middleman like, Angies or Home Advisor, etc. We don’t try to fool the public with fake websites that are typically set up strictly to capture leads and pass those leads back to Angies or Home Advisor or some other lead service providers like them. Those type of fake paver repair ‘business’ websites typically aren’t owned or ran by skilled paver repair specialists qualified to handle IPS repairs properly. “

    To learn of BPRH’s suggestions for contractors, please visit the company’s ‘For Professionals’ page here: https://brickpaverrepairhouston.com/for-professionals/

    How to get started

    A free ballpark cost range is typically provided at no cost when based upon customer-supplied photos of all distressed paver areas requiring repair along with project zip code. This valuable information allows BPRH to do the following:

    1. Verify the project falls with company’s area of expertise
    2. Verify the project falls within company’s service Area
    3. Provide a free ballpark cost range for the brick paver repairs along with a typical scope of work

    Should the customer wish to proceed after receiving and reviewing the free ballpark cost range, then a BPRH representative will schedule a time to meet the customer to survey the areas of paver distress, diagnose the proximate cause of the distress(s), and provide the customer a firm quote. Should an agreement be reached, a proposal with a Scope Of Work to perform the paver repair work will follow and the project will be placed on the schedule.

    It’s a pavement system, not simply pavers

    Distress area pavers removed, sides cleaned & pavers stacked near repair area

    BENEFITS OF INTERLOCKING PAVEMENTS

    When installed properly, IPS can distribute loads between individual pavers and spread the load over a wider area of sub-base. This ability results in a snowshoe effect, instead of sending the load straight down. PSI of loads are less concentrated and ‘lightened’, allowing for less deformity and a longer lifecycle of the base layer. The IPS can be professionally unlocked and issues properly assessed.

    Paver repair area is prepped for reinstatement after determining the cause of the distress, addressing affected areas then reinstating bedding sand and existing brick pavers

    Assessing AND ADDRESSING CAUSES FOR INTERLOCKING PAVEMENT DISTRESSES THEN REINSTATING

    The key to a successful interlocking pavement system repair is the ability to not only identify each of the 11 types of IPS distresses, but also what causes them, how a distress can lead to other distresses (proximate cause), and how to restore the IPS to its original condition.

    IPS is restored without trace it had been in a distressed state

    THE BEAUTY OF AN INTERLOCKING PAVEMENT SYSTEM IS THERE ARE NO SCARS AFTER COSMETIC SURGERY

    When repaired correctly, IPS leave little if any indication a distress had ever existed because the same pavers were reused and the area had been re-leveled. In contrast, when performing a repair on cast in place concrete, the demolished concrete chunks cannot be reused. The concrete truck containing the batch of concrete from the original pour has long left the jobsite. The original concrete color cannot be matched with new concrete. The repair area will stand out for years to come.

    Below is a letter from another satisfied BPRH customer

    Dear Mr. Enoch,

    I am glad I have made my choice and took the risk of working with an unknown contractor.  I believe you have done a great job and hope the addition will do well.

    I would like to thank you for your professionalism and unusually hard work.  Your crew is very diligent and strikingly conscientious.  You turned out to be as good as your word, which is not very common nowadays.

    You can rely 100% on my very positive references.  Please take advantage of my offer because you truly deserved it.  I hope you will do well and wish you successful business.

    Sincerely,

  • Network Spotlight : Mr. Clogged Drain – Responsible Master Plumber

    Trolyn Gallow

    Fall 2023

    I was privileged to attend an early Monday morning team meeting in the parking lot of an IHop Restaurant in Richmond, TX, on August 28, 2023 that was instructed by, Trolyn Gallow, Responsible Master Plumber and Owner of Mr. Clogged Drain. Mr. Clogged Drain services the Houston, Texas Area.

    While expounding his message with two of his Team Members, Mr. Gallow, laid out the process it takes to inform their customers of Mr. Clogged Drain’s intrinsic need to check out as many aspects of a plumbing issue, right down the line to the proximate cause of the issue. Typically, any less of an endeavor would simply be inefficiently addressing only the symptoms of the issue. This way, better expectations from the customers can be established right from the beginning by correctly diagnosing Plumbing, Drainage and Sewer problems, along with real Solutions and the real cost to resolve.

    This one stop strategy also allows for each Technician not only to properly diagnose issues, but also to be a moving information gatherer for other services Mr. Clogged Drain offers, in-house or through Networking with likeminded companies, such as mine, ENOCHGROUPData.com, a Brick Paver Repair, Evaluation and Maintenance business servicing the Houston, TX Area.

    Even the best of strategies can only fire as far as efficient execution can propel them. Mr. Gallow stated the reason he started his business is that “after years of putting in hard work for other companies and realizing that I can do this for myself is what led me to start my own business”.

    I personally and professionally can first hand vouch for Troy’s example of excelling at anything he sets a goal to achieve through persistence. I rejoiced at his earning Responsible Master License on May 19, 2019, after having already earned Journeyman License in 2013.

    Troy informed me of the reason for bypassing Master License and instead achieving Responsible Master License is because he wanted to become a Business Owner who would have the ability to pull plumbing permits, whereas a Master License currently no longer qualifies the License Holder to pull permits. Trolyn Gallow has the ability to pull Residential, Commercial, Municipal and Educational sector Plumbing Permits. This ability provides the Customer with another one-stop approach to efficiently identify each plumbing issue, know cost options, and commence in a timely method.

    Troy is a Plumbing Expert that I frequently find Selling Plumbing Services, Supervising Personnel, Teaching, Assisting and handling Difficult Calls. These are many of the skills which a former employer of Troy named, Mr. Miles, likely displayed while Educating Troy to, “learn this (Plumbing Services) and you will never have to worry how you will feed your family again”. I see that paying off very well for Troy and Family.

    Within Troy’s Five Year Plan is overcoming the current challenge of acquiring good fit Plumbing Experts, whether they join the Team as such or develop as Plumbing Expert through On The Job Training. Each Plumbing Expert will carry out the assignment to Prepare In Advance For Success, Troubleshoot and Sell all things Plumbing, including Gas, Sewer, Water and other Home Services.

    It may be worth taking Troy up on his 10% minimum Referral Fees for providing him Leads that Sell.

    With a vision like, “beyond competitive”, Mr. Clogged Drain, is an excellent fit within our Network of likeminded Professionals who pursue Business like a cheetah naturally pursues a meal.

  • Why Contractors Choose Our Paver Repair Services

    In a phrase, we are helpful.

    We help by providing insight into what to expect when we are dispatched to service our Houston, Texas Area professional network of Facility Superintendents, Foundation Repair Specialists Landscapers, Paver Installers, Plumbers and Pool Builders.

    When preparing for our Interlocking Pavement Systems (IPS) services, there are several factors to consider when expecting favorable results. For example, soil conditions’ impact on any structure typically are overlooked when it comes to IPS. When Facility Superintendents, Foundation Repair Specialists, Landscapers, Plumbers, Pool Builders excavate existing soils to either install or repair water lines, and other utilities, the typical idea is to faithfully reuse excavated soils. The problem with this idea within the Texas Gulf Coast Region is that our soils are typically clayey in content. Clay soils tend to shrink (subsidence) and crack open (fissures) during drought seasons and swell (heave/raise) during wet seasons. This volatility can cause IPS, including their subbase, sand bed, topical pavers/slabs and edge restraint systems to move up, down and or laterally as the clayey subsoils direct them. It is a good thing IPS are flexible, yet, flexibility is not magical. There are limits to IPS.

    We inform our Professional Network of solutions, including their not attempting to reuse clay soils back into excavated areas, rather, dispose of the clay. If fill is necessary until we can address the project, we suggest using bank sand or sandy loam. Then we can introduce 2% portland cement to stabilize and compact the bank sand as a sub-base. 2% cement stabilized sand means adding two 94 pound bags of portland cement to each one yard of sand. This base material is a lean mix, not a rich mix and not designed to be a rigid slab. This 2% cement stabilized sand is used only as subbase preparation, not as bedding sand. The reason why 2% cement stabilized sand is not used for bedding sand is because the cement treated sand will eventually become semi-rigid instead of having ability to distribute loads properly over a wider area of base (snowshoe effect). A rigid system sends loads straight down, deforming the prepared base structure directly underneath and an unforgiving cement stabilized sand bed directly below the pavers or slabs. Deformation of prepared base and bedding sand is a proximate cause of depressions and rutting in interlocking pavement surfaces. This action can present trip hazards and decreased aesthetics. We recommend our Professional Network allow us to service the system by compacting the face of our Network’s excavation, adding geo-textile fabric atop the face of excavation and turned up along walls of trench, then adding 2% cement stabilized sand in appropriate lift thickness and properly compacting each lift. This service eliminates reintroducing clay soils which our Professional Network would have originally attempted to reuse, stops fissures within clay sub-soils from transferring up through our prepared base due to the geo-textile fabric’s ability to separate clay soils from our 2% cement stabilized base. This process saves our Professional Network’s own customers from spending more to have us re-excavate clay soils, haul away and dispose of properly as well as being assured of one step structural integrity. Double work can be costly and is best if avoided.

    We provide our Professional Network a price list which can be utilized to have our IPS specialized services calculated into their proposals from the very start, not as an after thought, costing them revenue. We are versatile enough to either subcontract, or pay a fee for referrals.

    ENOCH GROUP Data also helps our Clients learn when IPS maintenance may be due via our Distress Surveys that provide Pavement Condition Index (PCI) ratings as well as Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavement (PICP) Infiltration Rate Testing services that identify the inch per hour of rainfall a PICP system will absorb. These data from, either service, may be layered over time to help predict when maintenance may be required.

    ENOCH GROUP Data also helps Clients when a cause for IPS failure is requested. Our Distress Diagnosis, along with written report, provides the proximate cause of distress and a written proposal and scope of work to repair the failure.

    If your organization is not currently a client of ENOCH GROUP Pavers, we invite you to get to know us and our time and money saving Interlocking Pavement System services.

    Foundation Repair Companies

    Prior to Foundation Repair companies becoming our Clients, many would encounter interlocking pavement system reinstatements after their foundation repair work. Their first thought was to attempt the reinstatement themselves. We’ve learned, based upon the results of their attempts to reinstate interlocking pavement, the better option we recommend is that Foundation Repair companies first consider budgeting for our services when providing a proposal for their clients.

    Plumbing Companies

    Prior to Plumbing companies becoming our clients, many would encounter interlocking pavement system reinstatements after their plumbing work. Some attempt to handle the reinstatement themselves. Based upon the results of their attempts to reinstate interlocking pavement systems, the better option we recommend is that plumbers budget for our services when providing a proposal for their clients.

  • Permeable Pavement Benchmark Infiltration Rate Testing At Western Academy

    Permeable Pavement Benchmark Infiltration Rate Testing At Western Academy

    How well does Permeable Interlocking Pavement drain in Houston, TX? The data speaks volumes

    Western Academy, a private liberal arts school for boys, grades 3-8 and located in the Spring Branch Area of Houston, Texas, as of mid-August, 2022, has breathable pavement that will help keep their 200 year old oak tree healthy. Western Academy also has benchmark infiltration rate data that reflects their investment’s actual permeability.

    Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavement (PICP) is recommended as green infrastructure by The City of Houston. The PICP could have been taken right up to the trunk of the oak, however, the property owners were reluctant to take even the slightest risk of possibly harming the oak.

    The pre-PICP pedestrian surfaces consisted of wood decking in one area and a concrete slab under the pavilion area. The wood decking was scheduled for maintenance or replacement. Both materials were kept at a 30 foot radius away from the old oak to allow air penetration and lessen any burden over the oak’s root system. Western Academy’s vision was to have a single, minimal maintenance and safe surface for the feet of their students. The life cycle costs of replacing wood made the more durable PICP even more appealing.

    Western Academy’s pre-Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavement installation materials were wood decking and concrete slab. Photo by Will Enoch June 9, 2022

    Belgard’s Eco Dublin in the Rustic Beige color, pictured below, was the permeable product selected to enhance the integrity, safety and beauty of this prestigious academy’s pavement and proved to be quite a contrast to the previous materials. The permeable pavement’s installer is Pro Pavers Houston, LLC.

    Why was this PICP system tested for its infiltration rate? Even Belgard, the product’s manufacturer, claims their Eco Dublin is permeable. The answer lies in the entire system. The Eco Dublin is just one component of the permeable pavement system. The system was tested to learn the day of installation infiltration rate of the system, which also includes free draining aggregates underneath the permeable pavers. The free draining aggregates allows rain fall to percolate through it instead of allowing the rainfall to run off its surface. The PICP was also tested to collect a benchmark of how fast water passed through the system. These data can be collected periodically to learn whether the system loses some permeability, and if so, how much. Should the system lose a sufficient amount of permeability, then, the system can be vacuumed to restore more permeability.

    For the start of this case study, ENOCH GROUP Data, LLC, performed the infiltration rate testing to establish a benchmark rate for the new installation. The procedure included the placement of a specified sized ring atop the permeable pavement’s surface. The test ring was secured from leaking, a specified weight of water was poured into the test ring at a specified level and the pour was timed. A pre-wetting test was carried out first at each of the three testing locations to determine which weight of water would be used at each location.

    Infiltration rate data collection method was discussed with Western Academy Headmaster, Justin Hebert. The actual procedure was observed by Belgard Commercial Sales Representative, Avery Terry, and Techniseal Regional Sales Manager, Matthew Utz, as data was collected at three different areas throughout the new installation. Mrs. Terry expressed interest in the possibility of Belgard considering ENOCH GROUP Data, LLC, as an independent, third party entity to provide infiltration rate testing on various permeable pavement installations incorporating their permeable product line. Mr. Utz expressed interest in the possibility of having independent infiltration testing of some of Techniseal’s paver jointing products.

    The test data were taken to ENOCH GROUP Data, LLC’s office where the infiltration rate was calculated to be a site average of 966 inches of rainfall per hour. This benchmark infiltration rate is why, The City of Houston, has recommended Permeable Interlocking Pavement systems as green infrastructure. Western Academy has now served as a role model for other property owners to get on board by utilizing this aesthetically pleasing and environmentally logical pavement system.

  • Interlocking Pavement Evaluation For Heritage Grand

    On Monday July 27, 2020, Enoch Group Data teamed with Pro Pavers Houston to evaluate the interlocking pavement driveway for Heritage Grand Community Center in Katy, Texas and provided a Pavement Condition Index (PCI).

    Will Enoch, a 32 year veteran within the segmental pavements field, headed the project along with Pro Pavers Houston President, Travis Pavelka. A distress survey was performed which determined the interlocking PCI using an Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (ICPI) and Applied Research Associates’ (ARA) program.

    The program is based upon ASTM 2840 and inputs pavement distress data including type of distress, severity level of distress and quantity of distress. These distresses include damaged pavers, depressions, edge restraints, excessive joint width, faulting, heaves, horizontal creep, sand joint loss/pumping, missing pavers, patching and rutting. One of the actual field survey sheets is shown below:

    Heritage Grand Field Survey Sheet Section 1

    Each interlocking pavement section starts at a condition level of 100%, meaning excellent. The distresses along with their severity level and quantity receive a deduct value that reduces the entire pavement section’s value, rendering the entire interlocking pavement section a score from excellent to failed. Below is the ICPI PCI chart:

    Enoch Group Data processed the interlocking pavement distress data from the field survey and produce interlocking pavement condition indices throughout the interlocking pavement sections. In the case of the Heritage Grand project, the four sections were averaged to provide a PCI for the entire branch on the property. In addition, there also were 900 square feet of discolored pavers that negatively affected the aesthetics of the pavement but not the structural integrity of the interlocking pavement system.

    An evaluation report was produce for the client which contained the PCI, contributing factors leading to distress, recommendations to remedy the distresses and included an enhancement proposal, as well as future maintenance. An every three year evaluation was part of the recommendations.

    This interlocking pavement evaluation is a benchmark for Heritage Grand. When layered over future evaluations, a deterioration rate may be established. This crucial data can be used to determine whether the interlocking pavement may be repaired or replaced.

    Pro Pavers provided the rehabilitation service to correct the distressed areas we surveyed for Heritage Grand.

    Enoch Group Data is currently networking with interlocking pavement contractors to provide evaluations and proposals to enhance the beauty and structural integrity of interlocking pavements.

    To start a discussion to have your interlocking pavement evaluated, please use our contact form.

  • Contractors Crank Out More Proposals When Partnering With Enoch Group Data

    Finding commercial construction projects is much easier and more profitable for contractors when partnering with Enoch Group to provide leads and valuable project data.

    Enoch Group clients receive construction site plans that have already been researched to find their trade item(s) along with their counts, volume, square and or linear foot quantities, project details, specifications, addendums, proposal due by date and project contact(s).

    The program is very simple. Clients receive an invitation from Enoch Group to preview a construction plan sheet that includes their trade. Should the client desire the opportunity to produce a proposal for items on the preview, Enoch Group emails the data to the client.

    Enoch Group also prepares takeoff quantity packages for clients who supply their own plans.

    This construction project data is a game changer for contractors who desire to transition into more commercial business as well as for seasoned commercial contractors who want to keep project leads in the pipeline while they spend valuable time on production and running their business. This simple tweak in operations help minimize the up and down cycles many contractors face when they are busy working with little time to produce proposals then experience a lull in revenue when they run out of sold projects. Then they’re back to the painful grind of the ever-so-popular looking for work hussle.

    The construction site plan sheet below left is an example of a construction site plan sheet that is included in the invitation preview. The example below right is the same construction site plan sheet but different trade items have been identified by separate colors with their quantities totalled in the upper left corner of the plan takeoff sheet.

    This is where much of the time consuming work is done by Enoch Group so the client can be more productive elsewhere. This is where the client will learn the required quantities for each item in order to prepare a responsible proposal they can submit to the proper General or Project Manager.

    Enoch Group is currently reaching out to network with contractors and develop relationships to mutually benefit each other in a spirit of true teamwork.

    To start receiving invitations to preview construction plan sheets or inquire about having material quantities totalled from their own supplied plans, contractors may leave a message that includes their trade item(s) and email address on Enoch Group’s Contact Us page.
