Can You Just Lay Pavers On The Grass?
Can You Just Lay Pavers On The Grass?
Yes, you can lay pavers on the grass. The concrete pavers are fastened only at the ends and in the middle with tacks or nails. The only thing you have to worry about is unevenness of your ground; hence you need to prepare it well before laying your paver path.
Porcelain pavers can be set directly over existing grass or lawn as stepping stones or to form a walkway, but for greater stability, the grass beneath the pavers, as well as a shallow layer of dirt, should be removed first.
In addition to the more classic square pavers, we also have a selection of hexagonal stepping stone pavers in five porcelain hues.
For the finest results, learn how to put pavers over grass.
Step 1
Lay the pavers on the grass to establish the number of steps or stones required for the route, making sure the pavers are evenly spaced.
Step 2
Determine the junction width between the pavers based on the desired look. Normally, pavers for stepping stones or paths would be set with open joints and grass in between. However, in locations where outdoor furniture will be utilized, pavers should be set with closed seams.
Step 3
Use a spade to mark the boundary of each paver before removing it.
Step 4
Remove the lawn to a depth of 2″-3″.
Step 5
Fill with a layer of fine 3/16″-1/4″ gravel and compress it before installing the pavers. If desired, add a 1″ thick layer of sand as a paver bed.
Step 6
Carefully arrange the pavers so that they protrude about 14″ above ground level. To avoid harming lawnmower blades, the pavers must not protrude over the lawn level.
Step 7
Gently tap the pavers with a rubber mallet to ensure they are well-bedded.

How Thick Do Pavers Need To Be For A Driveway?
It is suggested that your driveway pavers be 50mm or 60 mm thick, thicker than most conventional pavers, and can withstand the weight and movement of your cars.
Patio pavers, for example, are typically 40mm thick and cannot withstand the same forces as a road paver and will break over time. 60 mm pavers are commonly utilized in commercial settings.
Once you’ve determined what sort of paver you want for functioning, the following step is to select the design and color of your paver to complement the aesthetics of your home and yard.
If you are paving your driveway before landscaping, consider if you will be paving your front door, paths, garden walls, edging or retaining walls. You may want to ensure that all these pieces are color-coordinated or complement one another.
