Anything in particular to keep in mind? Once laid, the pavers won't get any foot traffic.

Thinking of packing the soil pretty tight, weed barrier, pebbles, pavers, and sand.

Obviously I would beef up the threshold at the foot of the slope with pavers on their side.

Help me out, bank of infinite wisdom.

They should be fine with a standard sand bed base for upto 4-5% slope without any problem. Probably more than that

You're "Steve McQueen"....you are my generation's Chuck Norris. You should be giving advice on everything!


But the post puller is pretty cool! Could've used one of those plenty of times.

Crushed granite base will lock better than pea gravel, machine pack. Layer of sand to level perfectly. Unless it's a steep slope, the metal edging should be sufficient. I purchased the long stakes in lieu of the shorties that came with the edging. Some dig down into the ground, but I wanted mine higher than the overall lawn. I later back filled topsoil against the edging and tapering into the yard over ~3 feet which will also help hold everything in place.
