Hazey pavers
My first time installing a patio pavers and when I finished it up with the poly sand all the pavers got a white hazey I clearly did something wrong. What’s the easiest and most effective way to get rid of the hazy ?

Need reliable paver contractors in Jacksonville, FL. Any suggestions?
I just moved to Jacksonville, FL and need my driveway redone (it looks awful), but there are so many paver companies that state they are the best. I just need to know who should I trust? Does anyone have any suggestions or personal experience so I can make an educated decision on this?

Are there any Pavers in Indiana that could even the sinking Paves?
I'll be honest, I don't think the Paves will sink quickly. The crew I hired to be my main Pavers did outstanding work. I could see then winning the coveted Best Paver award this season. My biggest problem is I'm kinda strapped for money, and need to make sure I don't hit the tax. Is there a crew that can help me with this but not pay too many high contracts?

Best geotextile fabric?
I need to order 1000ft2 (20x50) of fabric? I dirt compacted down well and have crushed concrete and sand on the way.
Amazon or big box store stuff feels too cheap from past experiences. Is there a brand or spec I need to use? Thank you pavers.
Ps- fuck the Knicks

Thinking about investing in this fund. Thoughts?
I think it includes companies like Halliburton, so should be a safe bet.

Solutions for these ugly gaps?
The landscapers are doing a great job overall but I can’t get over these little pieces they’ve placed at the end of the driveway. The sidewalk pictured is going to get ripped up but we can’t really slant it or anything to accommodate (city will inspect it). But maybe helpful to know.
Are there any solutions for this? It also feels like driving in those small ones are going to crack instantly. These old house are slightly crooked to the street so they said this happens all the time.

Belgard vs Cambridge?
Got a quote to do paver patio at $22/sq ft using Belgard Bristol pavers. Landscaper was supposed to start tomorrow but tells me that there is a delay on the Belgard pavers. He offered Cambridge pavers as an option to start sooner or wait another 3 weeks. Would you wait or switch to start sooner?

Seal
What happened here. Pavers looked dull and washed out. Had them sealed. Now they look horrible and are slippery.

Delayed concrete pour
Curious what more knowledgeable peeps can chime in about holding a concrete pour due to rainy days.
I’m doing a back porch extension and I need concrete footing around the perimeter. The paver guy keeps telling me that the soil is too wet and he cannot begin until it has a few days to completely dry or else I the footing will not hold. Well it hasn’t stopped raining in and off for weeks. It’s central Florida, it rains here the entire summer.
So…. Is this true? Does wet soil affect the footing and laying down pavers?
How do people get anything done during the summer when it rains almost every single day.
Thanks

Lifted pavers but no sand?
I lifted pavers placed by the previous owner and I was expecting to see a layer of leveling sand and then a layer of crushed rock. But, I only see crushed rock. Is that normal?
If no, for this partial lift, should I put sand when I replace the pavers?
My goal was to lift the pavers and place proper drainage underneath the put the pavers back.
First time doing something like this and I've done so much research and watched so many youtube videos so I thought i was prepared. Turns out I'm not and I'm hoping someone can help me with this.

DIY Paver stairs base?
I am building paver stairs, going out my back doors. Very simple build, two layers of cinderblock with a pavers on top- extremely cold climate - 8 foot frost depth. My question is, what do I use as a base underneath? Some places I have called have told me 6 inches of clean crushed gravel, someplace suggested sand & another place, suggested both underneath the cinder blocks. From what I understand, I need clean crush gravel otherwise the stairs will shift. But do I need sand as well? Does anybody have any insight on what base is needed for our climate? Thanks in advance!

Cobblestone pavers on existing ugly concrete
Can someone help me with deciding if it is a good idea to put cobblestone pavers to cover up ugly cracking concrete in front of my house? How should we install the paver tiles on concrete? With glue or concrete? Thanks

What brand of polymeric sand for 1/16” gap
Like the title, I have a back patio with 1/16” gaps and want to fill with poly sand. Everywhere I see says 1/8 is the smallest. Any recommendations would be highly appreciated.
