1" depth of construction sand is the bedding layers. 3/4" clean gravel will go between the pavers. This means the gravel will go on top of the sand

Concerns:

1. Rain may washout the sand beneath the pavers, causing them to sink. I don't live in a rain heavy climate.

2. The sand will bubble up through the clean gravel and be visible on the surface.

Are these valid concerns?

Possible solutions:

1. Leave as is. Place the gravel on the sand.

2. Scoop out the sand in the gaps, fill with gravel.

3. Scoop out the sand, fill with polymeric sand.

4. Place strips of geotex fabric to minimize mixing.

5. Other options?

Looking for opinions, especially from those who have had installed or installed themselves this style of patio previously. Thank you!
