XXitanium Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 A friend needed to get rid of some old pavers. I borrowed a trailer and brought them home last fall. This week I went and got an inexpensive Ryobi skill saw that I could trash cutting custom shapes out of a few of the blocks. My middle son ran the roto-tiller to loosen up the soil a little for leveling and my wife marked off some kind of crop-circle thing for an outline. We used small wood stakes and string to line up the edges. We removed about 1-1/2" of soil and started laying pavers. I cut a lot f pavers and that little Ryobi kept going like a trooper. My son invited a few of his friends over to help. Afterward we had brats on the grill and pasta salad. It was a fun project, but I was beat. Junior was pretty proud of the results I think.

XXitanium Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 Looks good...but are they laid on dirt or did you put any material between? Right on the base soil. it's not long term. We're planning on a new driveway once the kids finish college. If I intended it to last a long time there would have been a few inches of base and plant barrier, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
