Q: Do you need to put anything under pavers?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll first need to install a base underneath your pavers for extra stability and drainage. Otherwise, the pavers can sink into the ground, and you&rsquo;ll have to reinstall them. Use a base gravel layer of 4 to 6 inches for walkways and 10 to 12 inches for driveways. Compact your gravel layer every 2 to 4 inches so it&rsquo;s nice and solid. After you install your gravel base, apply a 1-inch layer of sand on top. </p></div>

Q: Why are my pavers sinking?

• <div><p>The most common causes of sunken pavers are poor base preparation and insufficient compaction. The problem could also be how your pavers were installed. If the soil beneath your patio or walkway wasn't compacted, it will pull pavers down as it settles. Additionally, using bare soil instead of making a paver bed with compacted gravel and sand can cause sinking over time. To fix sunken pavers, consider recompacting the base and addressing any drainage or erosion issues in the area. </p></div>

Q: How do you break up pavers?

• <div><p>If you wish to break up a cracked or broken paver for removal, you can use a hammer or mallet and a chisel to fragment the paver. As you&rsquo;re working, be careful not to disturb surrounding pavers; the key is to work slowly and steadily and remove the broken pieces gently. You should also wear a mask and goggles to ensure that no dust gets into your eyes, nose, or mouth as you work. </p></div>

Q: What are the alternatives to a driveway gate?

• <div><p>A traditional driveway gate isn&rsquo;t your only option when installing a barricade in front of your driveway. A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-security-gates.htm">security gate</a> like a swing gate, double swing gate, bi-folding gate, vertical gate, or pivot gate could work just as well as your driveway gate&mdash;if not better for your home depending on which qualities you&rsquo;re after. Like sliding driveway gates, many of these alternatives work with automatic features that simplify entering and exiting your property.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to pave a driveway?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-pave-driveway.htm">Driveway paving costs</a> around <b>$4,500</b> on average, but depending on many factors, you could pay anywhere from <b>$2,500 to $6,600</b> or more. The size of your driveway will usually be the most significant factor, with more square footage increasing your costs. You can expect to pay between <b>$2 and $15</b> per square foot for paving services. Some other factors that play a role include the following:</p><ul><li><p>Quality of the materials</p></li><li><p>Contractor&rsquo;s experience and expertise</p></li><li><p>Site preparation and grading, if necessary</p></li><li><p>Layout of your driveway</p></li></ul><p></p></div>
