How to prep for a paver walkway?

We were asked what needs to be done to prep for a paver walkway. The first thing that we do is digging out the existing loam or materials as we will need to install a compacted stone base. We figure out how deep to dig based on the type of soil that exists on the side and if the walkway is going to be used for people to walk on or if there will be vehicles driving on it. For this blog, we will assume the walkway is only for people to walk on. We will normally dig 8" - 10" deep and about a foot wider than the walkway. It is important to dig deep enough and wide enough to allow for the stone base to have enough capacity to hold the pavers while allowing for water to drain into the native soil. We use a laser level to ensure that we have a consistent grade of the base materials. We recommend reading the ICPI website for more information.
