I plan on replacing a driveway with a pool, i want to place paver patio
over area that was formerly covered by gravel driveway approx 2-3 inches
(50-75mm) thick. after researching renting a bobcat and amount of work
required to dig out old and replace per your instructions on the site, i
think raising level of pool patio one step would be substanially easier,
no removal needed etc. pavers are 2-3/8 inch (60mm)and have read need
1-1/2 inch sand bed (40-45mm).
does this sound like a plan?
i feel sub base of old large gravel will be too thin and stones too
large. should i add more subbase (will increase height of raised patio)
and use fabric to keep sand out of subpar base?
any insight is greatly appreciated
thank you again for the site.
