  1. COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID DURING PAVER PATIO INSTALLATION Paver patios can be a stunning addition to your yard. They can help transform your space into a functional and beautiful area for relaxing or entertaining. Unfortunately, there are many mistakes that homeowners make when installing paver patios that can easily be avoided. These mistakes can lead to unnecessary costs, improperly installed surfaces, drainage issues, etc. If you are knowledgeable about what to avoid before paver patio construction in Georgetown, TX, you will save time, money, and effort down the road. Skipping Proper Site Preparation One of the most common and worst mistakes that homeowners make is inadequate preparation of the installation site. Some homeowners will lay the pavers too fast, without removing enough topsoil or without grading. A solid foundation is a necessary part of creating a long-lasting paver patio. To start properly preparing an area for a paver patio, you should determine how deep to excavate the area. It is accomplished by determining how thick your paver will be and how thick the base material will be. The base material typically consists of crushed stone or gravel.

  2. Using the Wrong Base Materials Many DIYers believe a thin layer of sand or gravel is all that is needed to support your patio. To truly support the patio and help prevent shifting, a compacted, crushed stone base must first be installed, followed by a layer of bedding sand. Each layer must then be compacted to avoid settling or shifting after installation. If your patio is made from marble or stone, it is vital to use only a base that is made of crushed stone, like crushed limestone or crushed granite. Skipping over base materials or not compacting the base and bedding sand can lead to unsightly, uneven surfaces, drainage issues, and an unsafe patio. While using a paver patio may appear to be a simple task, avoiding the above mistakes is essential in creating a patio that is both durable and aesthetically pleasing. Engaging in the proper planning, acquiring the correct materials, and paying attention to detail will go a long way in creating a successful patio and one that will be around for some time.
