What a great summer project!
It's only 30 feet (10 meters) long, so not too big a job.
The first problem was that the original concrete was six inches thick. That's at least double what I had expected.
And, while hard on the surface, the interior was crumbly, which turns out to be difficult when you are using a jackhammer (you only get little bits at a time instead of big chunks).
Honestly, we ended up out sourcing that part of the job after a frustrating half day.
Next up was laying a sand base.
Then tamping to flatten and smooth it.
Then it was time to mix and pour the concrete pavers.
We decided to do pavers to give us better drainage, but an extra bonus was that it looks great with the garden!
And lastly we filled in the spaces between pavers with polymeric sand.
It took the whole week, but we're delighted with the new path!
