Paver Patio Building

This outdoor living area is a great place to hang out.

Paver patios really aren’t that hard to install if you follow all the rules. Following the rules are key. The hard part of installing pavers is the weight of the products and materials used. To start off you must go down a least 7″ below the finish grade. In most cases the soil isn’t used on site. Therefore it must be hauled away. Here is what you must take out for a small 10 by 10 area. My calculations say about 2 yards of soil. That equates to about 18-20 full wheelbarrows. Trust me when I say that each wheel barrow may weigh over 200 lbs. each. We then install barrier cloth which is easy. Then we must bring in 12-14 wheel barrows of 5/8″ minus and grade it out. this weighs more than soil. We screed with concrete sand which is only 3-4 wheel barrows. This also weighs more than soil. Of course then you got to man handle the pavers in which a pallet weighs about 1500 lbs. This is for a very small paver patio. A 400′ square patio would be 4 times that amount. For most people this is a little more than a easy weekend to install. A 100′ square patio would take professional hardscape installers 1 day.
