Issues with running irrigation conduit under pavers?

13 years ago

I'm planning a drip irrigation for my garden, which happens to be on the other side of a paver path from where the water source is. I read about using PVC pipe with water to get a conduit under a concrete path. However I'm worried, given that the path is made of pavers, that carving out a tunnel with water will weaken the integrity of the path (which is 3 feet wide).

Does anyone have any advice? Thanks.

Jerry
