PAVER CONSTRUCTION 101 (cont.)
3. Base
After the filter fabric is installed the next step is to install a suitable rock base,
preferably a well-draining angular rock
¾” – 1” in size.
? The depth of the base is determined by the type of load the project is
designed to handle.
? Base should be extended at least 6 inches beyond the edge of the paver
surface.
? Base material should be compacted in layers, using the proper
equipment.
4. Bedding Material
The next step is to install a small chip stone. The stone should be 1/4” to 3/8” in size
with no fine particles to allow for drainage. The small size also provides a smooth even
surface on which to lay the pavers.
