Planning
Determine your finished paver surface level, and remember to consider the following:
- Finished paving must be below the damp proof course level of the building
- Paving must slope away from the building
- Allow for the depth of the base layer, bedding sand and paver.
A Setting Bed should not be more than 1 inch
B Subbase is 4 inches of compacted road base (or greater).
NOTE: Allow a minimum 3 inches if a concrete subbase is used.
Excavate the area to be paved. This depth should allow for the base layer, bedding sand and paver. Refer to figures above for approximate depths. Be sure that the ground level is even. Replace wet patches, loose or soft areas with a sand cement mix or compacted road base to create a stable base.
