How to pave an area currently covered in pebbles?

[Dani29]

Hi,

I need to pave an area (2 metres x 4 metres). I have these fine rocks in the area. I can't attach the photo unfortunately 

I have no experience with paving. Can someone help- how do I prep the area? Do i need a timber border? Lay sand and then pave? It will be for a table and chairs area. It will be a solo project. 

Thank you.

Hi @Dani29,

Thank you for your question about paving.

If you can send your photos to workshop@bunnings.com.au I'm happy to upload them on your behalf.

Good paving is all about base preparation. Check out How To Prepare And Lay a Base For Pavers for some guidance on this part of the process.

A timber border is not necessarily essential, but it can certainly be beneficial depending on the specifics of your scenario. Once I've seen the area, I'll be happy to advise further.

A good place to start is by working out the finished height you want your paved area to be. This will tell you if you need to dig out any material so you can add your compacted base.

Once your compacted base is prepared, check out How To Lay Pavers for some guidance on the process.

Let me know if you have any further questions or details you can add. I'm more than happy to assist further.
