Install a Proper Base – 
Don’t Cut Corners
A solid foundation is everything when it comes 
to paver longevity. Do you know that a weak 
base causes pavers to sink and shift over time?
Make sure to dig at least 6-8 inches deep for 
foot traffic areas and 10-12 inches for 
driveways. Use a high-quality crushed stone 
base, compacting every 2 inches with a plate 
compactor. Skipping this step leads to uneven 
pavers, pooling water, and expensive repairs.

Use High-Quality 
Polymeric Sand
Do you often see paver patios with weeds popping 
up between the cracks? That happened because the 
wrong sand was used.
Polymeric sand works best to anchor pavers firmly in 
place and hinder weed propagation. It solidifies when 
saturated with water, arresting erosion while leaving 
your patio seamless and new-looking. Bargain sand 
and regular sand eventually get eroded, allowing for 
loose pavers and spontaneous vegetation.
Regular 
Maintenance
• Sweep regularly to prevent dirt buildup.
• Remove weeds as soon as they appear.
• Reapply polymeric sand if gaps start 
forming.
• Wash away stains immediately to prevent 
deep absorption.
