Frequently asked in Washington
Is it cheaper to lay concrete or pavers in Washington D.C.?

Do I really need sand under pavers in Washington D.C.?
Yes, a layer of sand is essential for paver installation in Washington D.C. This bedding layer provides a smooth, level surface for the pavers and allows for minor adjustments during installation.
