What are the steps in laying out pavers on a driveway?
I want to replace the asphalt on my driveway with concrete pavers. What other materials are needed and the steps in doing it?
Materials
Pea gravel
Sand (medium to coarse)
Sand (fine)
Tools
Front end loader to remove asphalt
Vibrating tamper or plate
Shovel
Rake
Level or straightedge
Heavy shop broom
Steps
Remove the asphalt and smooth the ground to a depth of 6 inches below grade or the level of the edge of the drive now.
Lay down 2 to 4 inches of pea gravel to create a sub-bed that will allow water drainage.
cover this with the coarse or medium sand to 1 to 2 inches. Run the vibrator plate over this to pack the sub-base and to set you a good foundation for your pavers.
Lay out your edge row of pavers measuring it out to insure they will fit according to the pattern you have selected.
Lay in your pavers to cover the entire driveway. You may need to use a diamond blade wet saw if you have curves or irregular areas to fill. You would then need to cut each paver to fill the voids.
When the entire drive is covered, throw the fine sand over the entire surface as you sweep on the bias to fill the gaps between the pavers. Run the vibrator plate over the area as you do this to set the pavers.
If you put the pavers over the asphalt and use a hose to spread your sand you will wash out the sand and never get the pavers to set. Eventually they will separate and break apart and you will have a terrible mess.
