Originally posted by ramseybuckeye Not on this one I've built decks, but I don't have the patience for pavers not the skills for masonry.
I laid pavers to replace a deteriorating blacktop walkway that approached our front door. The two biggest problems 1) man & wife hauling the gas-powered compacter I rented up slope to firm up the sand under layer. and 2) some #@**%^$ chipmunks who about a year after the job was finished burrowed under and removed some of that sand to make a home, causing a few overlying pavers to settle slightly. I stuffed poison down their entry and put a big rock over it for a week, but decades the later those one or two pavers, just slightly lower than the others, annoy me immensely.
