My neighbor Bob was right about paver base after all
He kept telling me I needed 6 inches of crushed stone for my 10x12 patio but I thought 3 would be fine since it was just for walking on. After 8 months half the pavers sank and I had to pull the whole thing up and start over. Has anyone else been stubborn about skipping the recommended depth only to regret it later?

8 months is brutal, sorry you had to redo it. Bob knew what he was talking about for sure. Sometimes the hard way is the only way to learn.

Totally agree, I did the same thing with my small garden path. I figured it's just for me walking on it, what's the worst that could happen? After one winter it was all wavy and uneven, looked terrible. Bob sounds like a smart guy, wish I had a neighbor like that before I started.
