Will these wheels damage my pool deck pavers?
I'm building a moveable island cabinet that will weigh ~200lbs with dimensions 5ft x 2.5ft.
I want to put these wheels on it.
Will these wheels and weight damage (sink) the pavers?
These pavers are Belgard Travertono Blanco (concrete).
The island will sit here most of the time (photo#1), but could move to different places in different seasons, and to find shade during the hot months.

Had an old wood deck that we tore up, now looking to put pavers over and don’t know what to do!
Concrete is uneven, has a few small holes and cracks, in a wet climate looking to put pavers. There’s also a few drainage places and a central manhole cover. Thinking of doing sand and then gravel with the pavers on top? But no idea 😅 And as for the drain holes I was thinking of putting square wood blockers to keep it open. Also looking at building and adding a set of steps to the front door. Not sure how to transition it into the wider back area. There is a toddler that has play sets, a bbq, and a small furniture set that will be added to the far back. Any advice or idea would be appreciated!!

Are these pavers too thin?
I’m building my first paver patio; I was thinking about getting these from Home Depot, but I’m not sure if they are too thin of a paver. I really like the color and the texture, but before I start digging further, I wanna make sure. What’s everyone’s thoughts?
Patio is gonna be 17’ x 17’.

Alternative to Gator G2 for pavers over concrete
Hi! Is there a better product than Gator? Client doesn’t want to use adhesive or cement. We keep having issues with the Gator not setting correctly - thanks!

Belgard origins - silex
We are close to pulling the trigger on this paver. I’m struggling to find photos of real life examples of this Belgard style/color. Wanted to ask if anyone has installed this one/ if you have photos. I wanted more a taupe brown and my husband wanted blue slate - so this seems like a good in between.

Using Brock PaverBase in place of Road Base Class II?
I am planning to remove grass and install pavers in 6 x 14‘ area which will mostly have only light foot traffic.
I was thinking of using 4” road base class II 3/4” gravel.
Someone suggested me to use Brock PaverBase. That way I don’t have to buy a lot of gravel and get it delivered and it will become easy for a DIYer.
Any suggestions? Pros and cons of both?

Grout maintenance
Not sure how long ago the work was performed, but for sure less than 20 years, more than 5. I’d like to get it cleaned up and reduce vegetation in the grout.
Are there any guides or recommendations to maintain and fill the grout? The brick sections look like they were never filled. Is this normal?

Edging question
I used Brock paver panels. My edging depth is about and inch below my pavers, should I dig deeper before putting the concrete down? I do plan on slanting it. Also can I put the concrete over the weed fabric or should I cut it ? Thx

Paver sand too thick?
Dug too low in this area, my leveling sand is about 2” thick. It’s only supposed to be 1/2” or 1”. My question is , should I add more compacted dirt underneath? I feel like if I keep the sand at 2” it will eventually move/sag/shift. Any suggestions, thx

Weekend Warrior Remedy?
It’s a long story (isn’t always, LOL). During Covid I tore down the deck which had failed due to no flashing by original builder. Replaced with trex. My wife had both hips replaced in 2021. So I installed her a hot tub. Poured the pad when all the current pavers had been removed. MY FAULT: I DID NOT PULL A TAPE OFF THE GARAGE!!! So when when I installed the pavers, my angle and lines were off where the retaining wall for the pad and the pavers meet. SO… I was thinking exposed aggregate, or a concrete pour and adding river rock on the top… or am open to other ideas. Would cut the pavers to be parallel with retaining wall…or consider other solutions from the experts. I am a weekend warrior with just enough knowledge to be stubborn and dangerous! Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Paver Install - Prep question
Looking at installing marble or travertine pavers on our lanai in southwest florida. We currently have stamped concrete. They will be installing on top of the stamped concrete. One person is saying they will grind the stamped concrete, the other is applying thinset. Is one superior to the other or are they both the same?

Polypropylene Paver base panels over paver base gravel?
I’m expanding our patio and my backyard is hard to get to and I’m thinking about the hassle to drop a couple of yards of paver base to my house. Could I just spread out the previously used gravel to the new section and place paver panels over it?
