Planning a Durable Brick Paver Patio

Pavers provide a flexible, beautiful surface for driveways and patios. Calculating brick counts accurately ensures you can complete patterns without mid-project store runs.

Common Masonry Mistakes

• Inadequate Edge Restraints: Pavers push outward under heavy weight. Installing solid plastic or concrete edge borders prevents bricks from separating.
• Poor Sand Bedding: Pavers require 1 inch of sharp bedding sand over compacted gravel. Uneven sand causes individual pavers to sink or trip up walkers.
