Pavers Against House Siding

I am planning to install a patio with pavers in my back yard.

Pavers against house siding.

3 i would presume you will have a 5 inch step into the house. Experts believe that mixing a brick home with brick hardscape usually results in too much red. There s be a piece of flashing against the house that would run straight to the ground and i would silicone this to the brick. Also in the picture above you can t see the new sideing.

Then the pavers would be butted against this flashing. Ok so now we just cut out 14 inches from the overall 18 inches. This means that you can lay the pavers against the concrete of your foundation as it rises from the earth. Brick colored pavers can warm up a home with wood siding but aren t really recommended for use with brick homes.

Stamped concrete on the replacement slab would be the finish instead of then setting pavers on top. The wall will only come up about 12 above the foundation and i was thinking that if i removed the siding and installed cement board and a waterproof barrier and kept any water away from the wall i should be okay with the blocks being tight to the wall. Better is to use easily compacted fill sand with layers of geotextile along the perimeter and geogrid or geotextile layers sandwiched between layers of sand building up to the paver layer. Grey pavers paired with a brick house are a less overwhelming combination of color.

Then there s be another piece of flashing under the siding that would be bent and run out on top of the pavers. 4 your pavers are no less than 2 3 8. The result is a paver patio that is retained on all sides with retaining wall block supported from below in an icpi approved fashion using geogrid geotextile. I am thinking that i will have to remove the sidin.

You can install pavers against your house foundation as long as it is the foundation itself. If you find your plans require laying pavers against vents siding or other materials choose another patio plan. However in order to get the proper level of the patio to the back door i will have to go above the brick foundation lining into the vinyl siding on the outside of the house. Pavers against siding yes taking out the slab would be necessary to do a stamped finish because of the height.

It will also be a neon sign inviting carpenter ants and termites to come into your house and start munching on your home. Your 1 5 8 confined space will be fine. Masonry steps against wood whether concrete pavers or granite masonry steps should never be placed directly against wood. After i poured the curb and laid the pavers i put some new siding on right over top of the old the siding goes right down to an inch above the curb.

Doing so will result in rot and water damage to the homes sill foundation. 5 now we re down to only having 1 5 8 of area. The bottom of the siding has small holes which are intended for breathing.
