Q: What happens if you don’t put gravel under pavers?

• <div><p>Gravel is crucial to your paver patio&rsquo;s drainage, meaning it plays a massive role in the lifetime of your patio. Gravel holds the pavers in place and allows water to move away from your patio to prevent erosion or stone damage. </p><p>Without gravel, your paver patio will need replacing much sooner, and in the meantime, water damage and potential weed growth will cause you a lot of headaches.</p></div>

Q: What do you put between pavers and concrete?

• <div><p>You should place a layer of thick landscaping fabric directly over the concrete slab and then a thin layer of leveling sand over that to protect the pavers from moisture. For border pavers, you should plan on locking them in place with polyurethane adhesive. This will prevent them from shifting under foot traffic.</p></div>

Q: Can I install a brick or stone driveway myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible, but professional installation ensures proper leveling, drainage, and durability.</p></div>

Q: How do you stick pavers to concrete?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re installing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pavers-vs-concrete-patio.htm">pavers over an existing concrete slab</a>, you don&rsquo;t need to affix the majority of the pavers, but you should use a polyurethane-based adhesive on the border pavers. Polyurethane will expand and contract with temperature changes, which will help keep the pavers firmly in place throughout the year. It&rsquo;s also strong enough to stand up to foot traffic. You&rsquo;ll use polymeric sand between the non-border pavers to keep them in place and prevent shifting.</p></div>

Q: Can adding new sand fix paver drainage issues?

• <div><p>Not typically. A paver patio drainage problem generally requires a landscaping fix that can include a drainage pipe or dry well capable of handling the amount of runoff in your yard. </p></div>
