How To install Porcelain Pavers – Dry Installation on Sand 

Remove grass, landscaping, and any other items from the area and ensure that there will be at least 8” to 10” of gravel substrate beyond the perimeter of your paver locations.

Create a raised perimeter or remove the top 3-5” of topsoil and install an edge restraint, making this substrate base as smooth and level as possible.

Place a 2-4” layer of bedding sand, screeding to ensure your 2-degree slope, wetting, and compacting.

Place your pavers in the desired locations, using guides to evenly space and ensuring that there is at least 3/16” space in between.

Once complete, fill in the space between the pavers with polymeric sand (which is sometimes called paver, hardscape, or jointing sand), sweeping off the excess and wetting with water.

Your pavers are good to go!
