So you can lay the stones out of concrete

The way you lay concrete lawn pavers depends on the nature of the soil. For light soils, you can lay the stones in a layer of sand about 5 cm thick. In the case of heavier soils, you have to prepare the subsurface a little more elaborately.

1. To do this, lift the relevant surface approx. 50 cm deep. After that, it is advisable to cover the floor with a weed fleece to prevent that later weed grows through. Now apply a 35 cm thick layer of coarse gravel to the fleece and distribute it evenly.

2. It is then important to compact the gravel well. A so-called vibrating plate is ideal for this, which you can borrow from a construction machine or tool rental shop for a certain fee.
3. After compaction comes an approx. 5 cm thick layer of fine gravel on top. You then have to peel off this layer evenly. You can now lay the grass pavers on this. Due to their shape, these stones can be put together very well. To prevent the area from sinking at the edges, you can also attach curb stones. These curbs are set in concrete.
4. Once the area is paved, you can fill in the spaces between the stones with a mixture of earth and sand and sow a somewhat more robust lawn seed. With the right care, a handsome lawn carpet has formed on your stones within a short time, which quickly makes the concrete disappear underneath.
