Paver Base

Making a paver base is the first step in building a sturdy patio foundation, which will ensure that your project lasts a lifetime. The basis for pavers is made of crushed rock with sharp-edged stones of varied sizes. As a result, precise compaction can create a sturdy foundation. Perfect for use as the base for paving stones or retaining walls. Patio paver foundation panels are made of lightweight high-density polypropylene. To maintain the panel edges flush with one another, the edges are often tongue-and-groove or shiplap. You might be perplexed as to how a thin plastic mat can successfully take the place of a 6-inch layer of compacted gravel. The typical base for a paver or stone patio is a 6-inch-deep layer of compacted gravel.
