Difference between revisions of "Grow Grass Between Pavers"

Stone or concrete pavers provide an excellent way to construct a durable, low-maintenance landscaping finish. Pavers can be spaced closely and applied over a large area, or spaced further apart to create paths of "stepping stones." In the second case, you will want to grow grass or other vegetation between the pavers to maintain a polished look and prevent erosion. You will only need a few items to grow grass between pavers.

# Excavate the area where the pavers will be installed. Use a spade to dig a hole underneath where the pavers will lie. This hole should be about 5 inches (12 cm) deep, but can be shallower. Place the excavated soil aside in a convenient location. If your topsoil layer is shallower than the hole you dug, keep the excavated topsoil and subsoil separate. You will need the topsoil later for backfilling.
