What Customers Are Saying

The Paver Base product is described as generally effective for leveling and stabilizing pavers, bricks, and retaining walls, though some customers reported inconsistent composition with a mix of materials rather than the expected uniform paver base. The product was praised for being easy to use, spread, and compact, but there were also complaints about poor packaging leading to damaged or torn bags upon arrival.

Great for underneath fire place

Would Recommend

Great base for your patio or (in my case) your fire pit. Compacts nicely to create a solid base to build on.

Poor packaging

The packaging for this product is too light weight and the pallet it was delivered on was too rough and flimsy. Almost every bag has a tear in it with a lot of wasted material. Very poorly executed and I would say not the fault of the delivery person who was helpful and professional but this happened when it was pulled and skinned to a pallet.

Solid base material but some bags were wet

Would Recommend

I used this paver base while preparing the foundation for a greenhouse project. The goal was to create a compacted base layer that would help stabilize pavers and deck blocks supporting a water tote stand. Once spread and tamped down, the material worked well and created a firm base that held everything in place. It compacted nicely and did what it’s supposed to do. The only issue I ran into was that a few bags were pretty wet when I picked them up from the store. That caused some clumps that ...

Great product for preparing area for pavers

Would Recommend

Lowe’s delivered 30 bags which made it easier to prepare the area for the pavers. All bags were intact and no holes.

Solid!

Would Recommend

I used Paver Base Step 1 for a patio and walkway project, and it worked exactly as advertised. The material spread easily, compacted down very solid, and created a stable foundation for my pavers. Once tamped, it felt rock-hard and level, which made setting the pavers much easier. It also drained well after a heavy rain, so I feel confident it’s going to hold up long-term. Great value for the price and much easier than mixing different base materials yourself. I would definitely use this produc...
