In this how to article we teach you how to install porcelain pavers – dry installation on grass.
Please note that this method is rated for pedestrian foot traffic, so please review your paver installation instructions and consult a professional if you need an installation that can withstand heavier traffic like cars.
Steps
- Obstructions
Cut grass in the desired area to be as short as possible and remove any other items or landscaping.
- Placement
Place your pavers in the desired locations with some space between the pavers to allow grass to grow, but also allow steps between pavers to be comfortable.
- Find Perimeter
Once placed, use a flat shovel, hoe, sod lifter, or another tool to dig around the perimeter of each paver.
- Remove Topsoil
Remove the paver and then proceed to remove a 2” layer from the topsoil, making the soil bed as flat and smooth as possible.
- Fill
Fill in area with crushed stone paver base or small gravel and level.
- Ensure Placement
Place the paver on top of the crushed stone and tap with a rubber mallet to set the paver and ensure that is it level.
- Good To Go!
Your paver is now ready to go!
