All:
Here is a 'during' photo so you can see how it was done:
Pretty self- explanatory, but here goes:
-Remove old driveway and go down 15".
-Add 1/4" minus rock and compact.
-Pin down edging strips.
-Add sand and screed using 2" PVC pipe.
-Lay pavers. (start at the curb and make up the difference at the house/garage). Make sure they are tight against one another.
-Mark edges and cut with a concrete saw.
-Lay edging pavers.
-Compact the whole thing.
-Add horrendously expensive polymer-mix sand to seal the cracks and prevent weeds from growing in the gaps.
-Rinse off.
-Stand back and enjoy.
NOTE: Use barricades to prevent your friends from parking their oil-leaking cars on your new driveway.
I'm not sure how the total cost was broken down, but I used to install these many years ago, and it's not that difficult if you take your time. I have seen classes advertised at home shows- so you can DIY. The guy who did mine also goes down to CA to do this- if you need more info, PM me and we can talk.
Cheers,
Paul.
