My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Pavers installation

13 years ago
Did you do any prep before installing the pavers or did you just drop them over the grass?

    Yes ofcourse, we leveled the existing ground, brought in some rockfill and compacted the ground, added soil and dropped the pavers. The grass is the last step, which goes around the pavers. It's easier to do the grass first and drop the pavers over it, but it doesn't give the same high-end raised effect.
