Proper base preparation is critical for long-lasting paversExcavate 6-8 inches below finished grade, compact the soil, then add 4 inches of compacted gravel base before laying pavers. Skipping base preparation is the #1 cause of uneven, sinking paver surfaces within the first few years.

This is a material estimate only. Actual quantities depend on paver pattern, cuts around edges, and site conditions. Always order extra to account for breakage and future repairs.
