The 2nd Most Common Brick Paver Installation Error

The number one mistake by brick paver installers is they put the supporting base down incorrectly and it ends up not being "tight" throughout the base material depth - it's not compacted correctly. This is a huge topic for another day or visit our website at www.thebrickpaverdoctor.com. The number two mistake is that when contractors install the base, it is not installed wide enough to give full support of the outer edge of pavers and the restraint, whichever method is used. What this means is that your base has to be installed 6 inches wider per side than the actual paver surface. When not done correctly, over time the outer edge of the pavers, whether a patio or walkway, will washout and start to droop. This is one of the most common repairs on brick pavers.
