New outdoor entertainment space

[matweb]

Decided we needed more room so I created an outdoor space for the family to enjoy alot of digging, shovelling and carrying in material but was all worth it.

 

 once brick edge was in I spread 50 mm of crusher grit and compacted with a bit of 20 mm plate welded to a handle, was an effort but I got the job done 

  laying pavers in a crusher grit and cement mix should help stop any weeds coming up also prevent any pavers sinking over time

 once you get the first row in and a square line to work off its easy going 

 spent a day digging out area to level out as much as possible ready for a brick edge and a solid crusher grit base

I think the most Important think about paving is to have a very well compacted base which is as level as possible, I would recommend no more than 7mm slope per meter to help water run off finished area. I also like to make a crusher grit and cement mix to tap each paver into and hold firm rather than laying in sand as they are less likely to move over time
