Stamped concrete helps you achieve the pavers with poured concrete which you can pain and “stamp”. Their initial price is different and depends on the site but it costs nearly the same as concrete pavers. As well as any concrete slab it may crack when it is freezing and it has difficulties with thawing.
Compact base to avoid shifting, creeping
It is a very important factor in building patio. If you don’t build a stable base, the pavers can detach on the inside, the outside will lower and tip. It will lead to the lost of tight uniform look of the patio.
Each material that you select for your patio demands minimum 6 inches of compacted aggregate base Class 5. This class contains the mixture of ¾ inch rock and “fines” that help you create a solid base by filling in the spaces between the rock.
The most suitable way is to create at least three 2-inch layers of this aggregate compacted separately and put one inch of sand on the top. But if you lay extra sand the pavers may sink. Some installers can place 6 inches of base at once and compose it in a single step.
