Inland soil and drainage
Conway sits inland along the Waccamaw River, and the soil differs from the beach. Many lots have more clay and hold water after heavy rain. Paver projects here depend on good grading and drainage: water needs a path away from the house, and the base has to be deep enough to stay stable when the ground is wet.
A good installer will check where water runs on your lot before recommending a layout.
Driveways and backyard living
Bigger lots in and around Conway make room for paver driveways, backyard patios with fire pits and walkways out to sheds and gardens. Paver driveways need a thicker paver and a heavier base than patios, but they hold up well and look far better than plain concrete.
Homes in the historic district often suit a classic brick or tumbled paver style that fits older architecture.
Conway planning tips
- Ask how the installer will handle drainage and low spots on your lot.
- For driveways, confirm paver thickness and base depth rated for vehicles.
- If you're in the historic district, check any design review rules for front-yard work.
- Consider permeable pavers if standing water is a problem.
