Base rock is in. I got home late today, so it’s dark.

Lookin good man! What product did they use for sand? Polymeric?
No, just regular. I may add that in the future. I did ask them about it, and they said that it this point it isn’t needed. We’ll see how the weeds go. They will not come from under, but I’m sure I’ll get some in the cracks. These fit very tight.

Youd be surprised. Easier now than later....youll be saying i wish i had done it earlier. Its definitely a job you can do yourself and get good results. Did they vib. plate the pavers after install?

Pavers no, both sub bases yes. At least I don’t think so. I wasn’t here. Not sure I would want a plate compactor on the bricks. These guys do about 200 installments for my company a year. Different deal, not driveways.

Gotcha. The guys up here i recommend for jobs lay plywood down and plate vib on top of it.
It’s Florida, not happening here. Lol
I at least have 8” of sub base limestone with lots of fine dust. Shit must come in by train somewhere, because we don’t have that here. They also use ground concrete over top of that. They call it road base.

Very nice! Looks great, so much better than before! Well done.
Thanks, that means something coming from you. Next up, new curbing, plants, gray rock in the beds, irrigation and sod. Oh yeah, house is getting painted. Pretty close to the same color.
