What happens here

A significant portion of the pathway is being constructed using large format pavers. These pavers are laid over a prepared base of compacted gravel and sand, creating a durable and visually appealing walkway. The pattern appears to be a mixed-size modular design, providing a contemporary look. The path extends from the main patio area, connecting different zones of the backyard, including the base of the stone steps and leading towards the driveway.

Goal: Install paver pathways connecting various landscape features

Tools and materials

  • Grinder/Paver Cutter — Cutting pavers to fit edges and curves
  • Plate Compactor — Compacting the base material and finished pavers
  • Rubber Mallet — Seating pavers gently into the bedding sand
  • String Line and Stakes — Maintaining straight lines and proper alignment
  • Wheelbarrow — Transporting materials like sand and gravel
  • Bedding Sand — Creating a level bed for pavers to sit on
  • Crushed Gravel — Creating the sub-base for pavers
  • Edge Restraints — Securing the edges of the paver walkway
  • Large Format Pavers — Constructing the walkway surface
  • Polymeric Sand — Filling paver joints to prevent weed growth and insect infestation (applied after pavers are laid)
