Finally tried a paver base grid after years of hand leveling
I spent every spring fixing wobbly bricks in my patio in Columbus, and last month I put down those plastic grid panels under a new 12x10 section. It still needed some gravel and sand work, but the leveling held perfectly through two big storms so far. Has anyone else swapped to these grids and noticed they actually prevent shifting over time?
Just a heads up, those grids are basically a fancy way to hold gravel in place for like a season or two. The real enemy is frost heave, which still gets under the whole thing no matter what plastic you use. Mine looked great in May, then by August the edges were already creeping back up after a dry spell... so maybe wait until next spring before calling it a win.
