Paver Path

May 31, 2005 2 Replies

Hey all,



I am about to install a paver path at my house. However, the location where I want to put the path has a sprinkler line running through it. Is it possible to build the path over the sprinkler pipe? Or, should I have the line moved (that is - put in the ground deeper)? Any other suggestions would also be appreciated.


I have a paver walkway. While I like pavers better than plain cement, if I had to do it again, I would NOT put in pavers. They looked great at first, but now they are sinking in spots. The cracks between the pavers apparently are a great incubator for seeds. Along with every weed that comes along, perennials like heuchera and lady's mantle sprout up there. In really shady areas, moss grows in the joints. I like the look of moss, but it can be slick when wet. I had the pathway installed by professionals and it wasn't inexpensive. I which I had gone with stamped, decorative concrete instead.
