installing pavers - need advice

Jake · 2007-02-07T00:49:08+00:00

I am going to attempt to install pavers in my backyard. I would liketo have a fairly large patio (the length of my home and at least 12feet out) plus a walkway in the side yard. I would like some advicefrom someone who has taken on a project like this. I have heard it isfairly simple, but backbreaking. Here are a few of the things I wouldlike to find out more about:1. Is this REALLY a do-it-yourself project or is this the sort ofthing thats better left to a pro?2. For such a large space, and limited amount of time (weekends),would I (and 1 other person) be able to complete this in a fewweekends or is this the sort of project you have to finish rightaway.3. Is it cost effective to do it myself? I plan on getting quoteseventually, but am I going to end up saving a lot of money by doing itmyself or is it only marginally more expensive to hire a contractor todo it.
