Highland Landscape Supply posts $4.08 to $5.47, Outdoor Warehouse Supply $4.15, and Cummin Landscape Supply $4.49 by the pallet. Crushed base runs $23.50 to $72 per cubic yard at State Crushing, ARS, and Earthcon. Bedding sand runs $36.75 to $49.45 per cubic yard at the first two.

Pavers cost $1,632 to $2,188. Base is 7.4 cubic yards before a compaction allowance, $174 to $533. Sand at 1 inch is 1.2 cubic yards, $45 to $61. That is $1,851 to $2,782 in material, or $4.63 to $6.96 per square foot, against $14 to $40 installed.<\/p>\n<h2>How deep should the base be?<\/h2>\n<p>CMHA, formed when ICPI and the National Concrete Masonry Association came together, sets the floor in Tech Note PAV-TEC-002-22. Patios need a minimum compacted base of 4 inches over well-drained soils, thicker in cold or wet ground. Bedding sand is a nominal 1 inch, uncompacted. Tech Spec 10 adds 98 percent standard Proctor compaction and bans mason sand and stone dust as bedding. Opportunity includes about 8 inches and CJ Landscaping builds on 6 to 10. Colonial Classics goes 8 to 12 on its upgraded tier.
