Hi, I'm in the process of installing a paver patio in my backyard. I'm going to use 2 inch pavers, so I'm planning on using 4 inches of "[B]quarry process (QP)[/B]" and 1 inch of "[B]concrete sand/stone dust[/B]" for a total excavation depth of [B]7 inches[/B]. Would this be an accurate excavation depth for my backyard paver patio? From researching online, I've read people going back and forth between using "[B]stone dust[/B]" or "[B]concrete sand[/B]" on top of my QP; what material should I be using? Also, I've read that some people lay "[B]landscape fabric (geo-textile)[/B]" under the QP; should I also add landscape fabric as well? Thank you!

Hello - I have a concrete step going off my side door. The corner of it has deteriorated and chipped. In the attached picture, the corner is still on but at this point that has been removed for safety. As you can see in the picture, it has somewhat detached on the sides against the ground and also against the house it is starting to come loose a bit. How can I repair such a thing, or can I just get rid of it and replace it with wood somehow? Any advice would be welcome. Marcin[ATTACH]66444[/ATTACH]
