Retaining walls and patio

Muhammad, maybe I missed it, but what are you compacting the base with? I don't see a compactor in these recent pics. I hope you're being OCD about compaction..... I know you don't have frost, but still.

We compacted the class 2 road base but the sand bed that the pavers lay on doesn't get compacted before the pavers go down. Instead we compact the pavers after everything is installed, and then again after the joints are filled with polymetric sand. That's the process the mfg recommended.

Before you know it the patio will be done.

Not pictured: All of the tricky cuts are saved for last.

Looks good. That shrub looks to be getting a hair cut on the backside?

Yeah. That's an orange tree.

Besides not making any sense..... who uses "infested" and "dis" in the same sentence. The two words don't fit into the same intelligence pattern.

(removed) adopted this creative way of writing somewhere along the line. If you search back on his early posts you will find normal writing. No harm, no foul I guess. Put him on ignore if it bothers you. He is actually a smart person if you read between the lines. Not worth fussing over. Back to retaining walls and patios. :thumbsup:

Hi Muhammad - What made you choose pavers over stamped concrete for the patio?
