The first step is to get a quote from your local contractor. The second step is to find out what type of pavers you want. Third, you need to find out the size of the area that you want to pave. Fourth, measure the area and calculate how many square feet you need for your project. Fifth, find out how deep your trenches need to be for each row of pavers. Sixth, if you are using an existing surface such as concrete or asphalt, then it is a good idea to remove any weeds and debris from the surface before installing new pavers. Seventh, use a straight line across the area and mark where your trenches will go with stakes and string or chalk lines.
