| Just bought a new house and removed an above ground pool. Now I have a 24' diameter circle of sand in my backyard. I would like to make a paver patio. Does anyone have experience with laying pavers directly on sand in a situation like this? Of course I would compact and level the sand first.
Thanks,

| Where you live may be subject to frost heave ... but if you are willing to re-set a few stones every year, go ahead. I would put some sort of barrier around the edge to keep the sand and stones in place. How deep is the sand? And is there any coarse rock under it for drainage? If so, you may have no problems with frost heave. |
