If your pavers are designed to lock together, measure them when they are connected. To make calculations easier, treat each combined segment as one paver.
Spray the stakes with brightly-colored spray paint so you don’t accidentally trip over them.
You can also rent a rotating laser level and transit rod to measure the grade with.
If you plan on leaving space between pavers, sloping the strings may not be necessary. Avoid driving the stakes into the ground over any utility lines.
Make sure you have somewhere to put all the dug up soil before you start digging.
If you removed them while digging, reattach your strings before taking measurements.
Keep in mind that you may need to adjust the edge restraints after you install the pavers.
You can also lay a pipe that’s the same thickness as the pavers on the sand to make sure the distance between the sand and slope lines is accurate.
