how to lay paver driveway
As with any driveway material, the key to a good brick paver driveway is a well-prepared base. Remove the soil (or the existing driveway) to a depth of at least 12 in. Make sure the surface is graded to encourage water running away from the garage. Compact the soil, then add 8 to 12 in. of gravel. Compact the gravel, then add 1-1/2 in. of sand. Level the sand with a long 2x4 or the back edge of a rake. When the base is ready, start laying bricks in a pattern you like.
