so I have this section in my back yard where the grass does not want to grow
not a big deal, since I don't care to mow it anyways
I decided to put in a "patio" with a fire pit on top
this will be a 9 foot 5 inch wide round paved section with "dry cast pavers"
https://www.menards.com/main/buildi...441434706-c-5786.htm?tid=-4018023883352098237
I called the place that sells them, and the person I talked to said this can be installed on top of black dirt just fine
simple remove the grass, smooth out the black dirt and put the pavers on
according to the instructions I need 4 inches of "compacted base" (whatever that is), or 2 inches of paver base AND on inch of leveling sand
so, which one is it?
do I just level the black dirt and call it good?
do I go with the instructions (and spend another $100.00 on different sands)
or is there a third option (like free fill sand off C/L) that will do the trick ?
thanks guys
