    I have a small 15 x 15 paver patio about 10 years old sinking in several places. I want to pull up and reset the pavers in a better base. I had a concrete border/curb installed around the perimeter levelled and sloped ready to be my guide for the paver reinstallation. The existing pavers were laid on what appears to be about 4 inches of bedding ...

The soil is stable and compact. I'm going to lay down some paver base material and compact it. I know the normal way to set the pavers is over leveled sand.

    I'm putting in a 15' x 10' stone paver patio. I called the local quarry and they suggested using "Class i sand" as the 5 inch base with another 1 inch of depth of the polymeric sand on top of it. They said the "class i" has a relative consistency of kitty litter and is real dusty.

  6. Is 3/4" crushed rock to big for patio paver base

    WayneGee. 3/4" is NOT okay to use by itself. You need 3/4 w/ fines. There will be little compaction with just the 3/4" rock. Most places have the fines, especially if you had a landscape or rock company dump it. Sand is NOT okay for the base, especially if you are in an area that freezes.

    Keep adding base and compacting until you get to your 4" thickness. I get about 5/8" compaction in 1.25" of sand; I use 1" heavy duty electrical conduit to screed (1.25" o.d.), and I use pavers that are 2- 3/8" thick. When I do this, I set the base 3" below finished height, screed the sand, compact the pavers into the sand and all is well at ...

  10. Small rock bed edging retaining wall. Do I need paver base?

    www.diychatroom.com/threads/small-rock-bed-edging...

    I would at least put a few inches of crushed stone, gravel, or paver base under those block. Also use some landscape block adhesive would help a lot to hold those block together. You can go a little extra and lock in your first course of block down to the gravel by parking some concrete around the block. Stagger the joints.

    Thickness of the base material depends on the earth beneath it, how much load it will support. (is it sandy? rocky? clayey?) 2. Drainage - if rainwater needs to percolate through the pavers into the earth or into a drain system versus running off of a slope, the base must be appropriately open to allow the water to pass through quickly. 3.
