Essential Tips for Installing a Paver Patio
Proper Planning
Always check local building codes and call utility companies before digging. Plan for proper drainage with a 1-inch slope per 8 feet away from buildings.
Base Preparation
Excavate 6-8 inches deep plus paver thickness. Install 4-6 inches of compacted gravel base and 1 inch of leveling sand.
Layout Consideration
Start from a fixed edge and work outward. Use string lines for straight edges and proper alignment.
