for a DIY, they did decent! #diy #paverpatio

What happens here

Roll out a durable geotextile fabric over the entire compacted subgrade. This fabric acts as a separation layer, preventing the aggregate or sand base from mixing with the underlying soil, which could compromise the stability of the patio over time. Overlap seams by at least 6 inches (15 cm).

Goal: Prevent mixing of base layers with sub-soil

Tools and materials

  • Geotextile Fabric — Separating the base layer from the sub-soil
  • Utility Knife — Cutting the geotextile fabric to size
