Hey guys,
So this weekend I am doing a small 9'x9' paver patio but in the next couple of months, I may be tackling a much bigger project. Right now, I have Chattahoochee Rock or River Rock (whatever you want to call it) around my pool. The rocks are getting loose and are very annoying when I want to go into my pool and I have little rocks all over the bottom of my feet. I want to put pavers down but wanted to know if I needed to take the river rock up before I lay down the pavers. I have cement underneath. I do have quite a bit of spots of missing river rock so not sure if this is a good plan. When getting quotes from contractors, they said they would place the pavers over the river rock. I will include some pics tonight but more pics tomorrow (during the day) to give you guys a better idea of what I am talking about. I know the normal procedure but since I have cement/river rock, do I just need to lay the sand or do I need a small layer of concrete base? Any help would be very appreciated!
