Hi everyone.

Looking for some help with a project at home.

I’m putting a walkway on the side of the driveway. There is a part of the driveway that’s kind of sunk in.

Anyone have any ideas on how to make it so There’s no dip and the pavers would sit flush.

Thank you.

If done properly youre going to take away that dirt anyways. You'll want a solid bed of crushed rick, then an inch of sand, then your pavers if you're doing it correctly. If you dont want to do that then it really doesn't matter how you raise it..

Not a paver expert by any stretch of the imagination, but when we paid to have pavers installed 17 years ago now, as Moosefire mentioned, you need a good bed of gravel/crushed rock and then a layer of sand. My installers left the pavers 'proud' (they stuck up about an inch past the adjoining surface, and then they went over them with one of those gas powered 'jumping jack' compactors and forced them into the sand until they were flush
