I'm installing a small paver patio (well, really a 5x5 landing at the base of deck stairs). The soil is very sandy and well draining (Southern New Jersey). So I've got some questions to ask the hive mind.My pavers are 2 inches deep.Knowing that the yard is very well draining (no puddles ever form anywhere) and very sandy is it still the best practice to dig down 8 inches to start the process? My pavers are 2" deep.Next, from my research it seems that you put down base gravel, base sand, pavers, then fill joints with polymeric sand.Would I still need base gravel with the area draining so well? If so, is this all purpose gravel OK to use? If so, how deep?Is this the paver base the right stuff to use? Should this still be 4 inches deep in a very sandy yard?Now after that there should be a base of sand. This product says "leveling sand" however, while the title of the product says "leveling sand" the first line on the bag says it is joint sand for pavers. Is this the right thing to use on top of the paver base?Then I finish with this between the joints?Thanks for the assistance! via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/2OVJD5t
