Paver walk around for a backyard porch in Abingdon, MD.
This was a borderless paver walkway with a full wrap around. We used stone dust for base layer and 3/4inch river round for infills. This was a job we were asked to do right before 4th of July. Let me tell you, the hottest day of the year was no joke to be setting pavers during.
The work:
- measured, marked, and cut out sod out for walkway (3-5” depth below grade)
- leveled foundation dirt in walkway cutout.
- hauled and filled stone dust (base material) into walkway
- smoothed and leveled stone dust with trowels while setting pavers at equal spacing
- hauled in and backfilled fresh soil up against path to create a smooth gradient from yard to walkway (borderless - no hard edge).
- hauled and filled 3/4inch river rounds between pavers
- excess river rounds moved underneath deck (ultimately, we revisited the customer with more river rounds and fully covered the underside of the deck with the rock).
- [customer] planted seed and laid straw on backfilled soil.
