patio pavers - pros and cons
These little patio pavers are perfect for a small budget and a do-it-yourselfer with some know how about sub surfaces. The advertisement says these can be “pressed into a lawn”, as if that were easy to do. While they may have enough surface area to “float” on a purely soil surface, if you are interested in a more long-term solution, my recommendation would be to use at least a bed of sand underneath, if not compact able gravel base material. Their primary use is for patios which typically doi not bear a great deal of focused weight, so their is less need for the stringent prequalifications involving subgrade strength and durability of, say, a driveway.

Just the same, I would highly recommend just a bit of forethought and some base materials be applied to prevent a sinking of the corners and sides of each individual paving stone shown here. A result of a bad placement would be very unsatisfying and require reworking one more time - or repetitively during the years to come.The mud alone would make you no go back. Think permanent with this stuff. It pays of in the long run. A few hours more work once will save about 24 later.
