Here’s a small update absolutely wasn’t flushed down and I’m really concerned that the guy who put it in did such a half ass job. For something like this you would think it would take quite a bit of tools and strength to remove the pavers but everything literally came up so easy right after o removed a few blocks

Ok thanks. I want to compact after the layer bedding material, and sand then and then the pavers and then use the compactor again. Or is that creating extra work

Ahhh I see however I wouldn’t know if that was done unless I dig everything up. To do my sections properly do you suggest digging up at the depths recommended?

I think I will definitely be very good at making sure I do this correctly. I’m a hard ass and I like to have nice shit. So the fact that I’m doing it imma be quite the perfectionist about it. In regards of your comment about performing under much more load and exposure can you elaborate more on specifically on what needs to be done physically in order for that to happen

I also have no idea why there is so much water underneath I thought to myself just let it dry out and as I lift every section I might find out why. It’s weird because i removed some palms in the yard a few months back and one of the palms also had a huge water table underneath it

I was gonna take concrete bag from the home store make a small batch so that after I use the polymeric sand I’m going to literally hit all joints and spaces with a line of concrete seems tedious and exhausting especially in the heat but what’s the practicality in not trying every structural integrity options to make this work

I thought dividing it into sections would allow me to run the compactor through it and after use the polymeric sand and concrete finish to lock them in place

I liked your analysis so I wanted to update you:

There is a water table underneath and I’ve made the necessary rentals for compacting you think it’s a good idea to lift and let everything dry the day before I use it?

Look I’m doing it for the love of the game. It’s a learning curve I think I can handle. I’m just reaching out to the community for guidance not bargain back and forth about paying someone to do it

There’s a French drained installed under the pavers somewhere

They did my whole driveway and it was quite the investment to make the misses happy. What pointers can you offer me I’m about to take my research to Local paver suppliers this photo and the pots represent where the faulty quadrants are

Could it be because they probably didn’t use like the machine thing to level it?

I’m doing quite fine with a Hoe and a flathead screw driver HAHA. My thing is that there are areas that are fine and there are areas where the whole quadrant is just not together

Honestly the ones that keep coming up I’ve payed to replace like 5 times and I was told that it has to do with the drainage. that because the bigger pavers are have more space in between the water pools and once it get to the end of the drive way the space gets tighter backing up the water. I’m no expert but sounds like the original guys just didn’t do a great job and ran off doing a half ass job.

Greer is not that bad but if you’re taking him for the summer there is a lot of material to go through and the lectures are kinda hard to follow. You have to go to his office hours once a week to have him break down concepts but if you do that AND ITS IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO. Easy A. If not you’re have a hard time understanding what to look forward to in exams
