That's not true here in Canada wr a paver capital of north America and freezing and Frost heave us out middle name. Wr use those pavers too we have different thickness and styles we use those flatter ones as well ad thicker ones. It it wasn't good it would have cracked due to the weight of the car, the sink because the base isn't sufficient. We use a new product called Gator base or we use allot of gravel some use same a small amount on top of the gravel just to assist in leveling the pavers and we hardly have problems. We use geotextile fabric to prevent weeds that product im not much of a fan ad it deteriorates over the years like 10-20 years, i like permanent stuff. Concrete is good because like the gator base its harder.to sink in the ground due to its ability to evenly distribute the load.

Hi Robert, the uk folks have been doing it for centuries, they know how to do it and what works for them for sure, thanks, mike

Thank you, mike

Hi Roder, every mason in my area agrees, you got to lay gravel pour concrete and lay them on that, otherwise you get constant callbacks, thanks mike

You can use sand under the pavers

Heres a good step by step video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uNh74o7ifW8.html

if you use sand as the laying coarse, there is a chance that the coarse will be washed away. limestone screening coarse will be as hard as rock after compacting the paving blocks.

Roger King Ip watch the video. It cant be washed away when you edge the area being paved like your supposed to and have proper base layers down. The sand has no place to go

Hi Bababooey, I appreciate it, mike

Thanks, Mike

Thanks Jim, happy 4th, Mike

@@MikeHaduck thanks hope you had a great 4th!

Hi Charles, it's a common problem with our weather, I won't put pavers down unless they are on concrete, but that's the technique I use when I got to fix them , thanks mike

Hi Gworks, I lay the concrete on a good base of gravel like a railroad track , 3000 lb mix add wire and have never had a problem , thanks, mike

Hi fig, not in this case, it will harden by itself, hoseing it down will make a mess. Mike

Thanks Dario, that is a good thing, mike

Hi Dolores , you are too kind , I guess I only put them on some videos, or in the about section, thanks, mike

Hi Chris, it’s still winter here too, just a tease, thanks, Mike

Thanks pensive, Mike

You know I got to start linking on every video, I never thought of it, thanks, mike

Hi Ba,al, no asphalt, You got to lay it on gravel and then concrete or you will be back fixing it every couple years, thanks, mike

Hi Crazyhands, I agree, Mike

Thanks Davao, mike

Hi Greg, I understand for sure, thanks, mike

Hi A , that is one of the reasons when I do it,, I lay the pavers on concrete, thanks mike

Hi LR, I been a mason a log time and I have gravel in my driveway also, never a problem, thanks, mike

Thanks, Mike

@@MikeHaduck I forgot to mention good video and learned lots 👍

Hi bric, I agree but they do not want to hear it, I appreciate it, mike

Mike Haduck Masonry how right you are mike . They just see how nice the finished driveway looks in a brochure. It’s next to impossible to get them to understand that the success or failure of brick paving depends on the below ground work.. I never lay them I avoid them like the plague .

Bill Lowenburg the domestic driveways can be especially problematic a lot of cowboys operate in that area over here . But even when they are installed by a good contractor they always fail long before a pattern imprinted concrete drive way for instance . They are nice to look at but that’s about it as far as I’m concerned .

Hi James, if you can send me a link to your video on the proper technique in our area, I would appreciate it, I am always willing to learn, thanks mike
