if your gunna do pavers, youll have to dig out the area you want, put down stabilization mat( or plastic if you wanna save a little money) then put in about 3inchs of a compacted gravel or crushed limestone(called 46d or crushed 46's) and tamp that down. from there add 2 or so inches of sand and tamp that a little bit. lay your pavers as you want the, leave a bit of a gap. when you get all the pavers where you want them pour some joint sand in the gaps and broom off the excess. lightly spry it all of with water (this well make the joint sand "set" and get hard to hold all the pavers in place) and your done! nothing to it. if you need the materials let me know and ill get you intouch with some people. i work for Lang Stone, i was downtown in the yard before i got moved to granite installer..so if you have any questions feel free to give me a shout.
