How to Install a Brick Paver Patio
- 1). Start by laying down a 1 inch layer of sand down on the concrete patio. Use a level to make sure that the sand is even on the entire surface of the patio. Choose the pattern in which you would like the pavers to lay and place a few out on the patio to make sure of the design before you begin actually putting them down permanently.
- 2). Start laying down the pavers in a 90-degree corner working your way out. Be sure to keep all the lines and joint straight while leaving a 1/4 inch space between the pavers. Check periodically with a level to make sure that the pavers are laid down evenly.
- 3). Measure and mark the pavers that need to be cut to fit around the patio edges. Cut the pavers with a wet saw so that they will not crack during the cutting process.
- 4). After all of the pavers have been laid down to cover the patio area, lay down a layer of masonry sand on top of the pavers. Use a push broom to sweep the sand in the spaces between the pavers. Continue adding sand until all of the spaces are filled. Finish by taking a garden hose and spraying off any existing sand from the surface.
