How to Install Paver Patios, Walks and Driveways

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Begin laying the pavers directly onto the leveled sand bed according to the desired pattern. The video shows a section of pavers being laid, forming the main 'field' of the patio. For straight edges and defining curves, a string line can be used as a guide. Any pavers extending beyond the desired line will be cut later.

Goal: Install the main body of pavers onto the sand setting bed.

Tools and materials

  • Pavers — The main patio surface material
  • Rubber Mallet — Gently tapping pavers into place to ensure they are level and snug
  • String Line — Creating straight and curved guides for paver placement

You can actually see right now where the screed rails were pulled out and the precise depth of the sand that we're using and how the field we call this laying the field in here. And that has all been laid out. One of the things that we're doing is we're pulling a string line on this edge. So we've snapped a string line along this side of it. So we don't have to make any cuts on half of the patio which saves time, saves money. But what we do do have to do at this point then is along this edge you can see we've got full pavers and we want a nice clean semicircle. So what'll happen is we'll actually draw a line on the pavers and then we'll take the chopsaw that we have over here and we'll just we'll just zip it right along so that we get this nice perfect semicircle.
