Paver Base  

An appealing addition to any outside residential project is a paver base. With the right paver foundation materials, they are simple to install, efficient, and allow for rapid use of the space. A paver base is made up of three layers: subgrade, subbase, and base. Each layer is made up of various materials and serves a different support role. The level below the installation site that is the deepest is called a subgrade and is made up of compacted earth. A sub-base is the middle support layer that is placed on top of the subgrade soil. Pavers made of the most expensive material are set onto a base. Select the base materials that will hold your pavers in place. Take into account various paver bases for durable, strong pavers while keeping in mind our budget and the project.

This type of paver base has the main benefit of being fairly durable and long-lasting if installed properly. Sand-set bases can be difficult to handle because of their density and require a lot of labor to install. Another disadvantage of sand-set paver bases is that the paver joints need to be filled with polymeric sand after installation in order to keep them in place and prevent weeds from growing through them. Additionally, compared to some of the other paver base options, sand-set paver bases are less forgiving of installation errors. A paver base's layers of material serve a number of support functions. Use the proper foundation material for your paver installation to reduce tripping hazards, paver failure, cracking, and unwanted movement.
