So you have a yard, garden, or landscape, where you want to have a beautiful pavement. You have spoken to stone tile stores and are in talks with a couple of professionals for installation. But somewhere you are concerned about the cost of installation.
And if that is the case, you can consider installing it on your own. You can watch DIY videos on YouTube for that. To ease things for you, here are some of the useful tips that you can follow to DIY install pavers –
- Finalize you plan or layout. You can take inspiration from Pinterest, Instagram, or ShadesOfStone.com’s Inspiration Gallery. You can also take a walk in your nearby localities or discuss with your friends and family members over this.
- Once the layout is finalized, you have to order stone or porcelain pavers as per your budget and choice. Make sure you order some extra pavers, so that you have replacement stones/tiles, in case some pavers reach you in damaged conditions.
- Now is time for preparing the base for placing pavers. Do ensure that pavers are sloping away from the main structure or your house. Dig the area according to the thickness of the paver stone/tile you have ordered. Remove excess soil as required. Compact the ground using the right compacting and leveling tools.
- You can consider using gravel paver base for extra support for your pavement (not a mandatory step).
- If you are working in garden or landscape, then you should start placing the first paver on the farthest wall or border, moving towards the entry. Ensure ¼ inch gap between pavers.
There you have it. These are some of the useful tips for placing paver stones or tiles in your outdoors.
