Hi guys hope you can help me answer my questions.

Im doing my yard and installing pavers, my yard already have 2 ft. of sand, do I need to put a layer of gravel to be my base for pavers? Or the two feet of sand is enough for base?

I leave in California, Thanks in advance.

If you are in a mild winter area and have sandy soil, just rake it flat, tamp it down and lay the pavers.

You might have to re-set a few of them now and then, but I've made patios that way that lasted for 15+ years.
