The only project that we worked on in 2005 was the floor for the gazebo. The first thing that we had to do was level the ground. There was a difference of about ten inches from the highest corner of the gazebo to the lowest. We made a frame and then added fill to level things out. Then we added a layer of sand to make a good base for the pavers. Then came the pavers themselves. We cut the ones that needed it to make them fit.
