Creates a SOLID and DENSE base for you pavers
I had a walkway that needed to be redone because a bunch of chipmunks dug out holes under the concrete pavers, causing them to sink, making the walkway a tripping hazard. Over the winter, I also didn't want my shovel to catch on the uneven pavers when I clear the walkway of snow. This Pavestone paver base was exactly what I needed to create a solid footing for the pavers. It packs real well and very dense. I cut to size a 2x4 the width of the walkway and screeded the paver base to the height that I needed. I also made sure to grade it so that water runs away from the foundation. Once that was done, I used a 10” x 10” hand tamper and went back and forth packing down the base. I then laid the black panels and reinstalled the 450 concrete pavers above that. Laid down the edging and then packed the sides with soil and then added the polymeric joint sand and this project is now complete. This Pavestone paver base is so easy to use that I will go make a paver base under the BBQ grill as well as the generator with the leftover concrete pavers I have.

Hard pass
This stuff is almost all rocks. This is a complete waste. I am unsure how it even has any stars. Nothing like the pictures.

Paver Rocks!
This is crap! Go to other home improvement store, they have a better product and well worth paying extra.

Too many rocks
I ran out of mason sand and only had like 2 sq ft area left to lay some papers so bought this and wasted my money and time. Atleast a third of the bag was rocks and definitely large enough to not allow for laying pavers

Rocks!
Bought 40 bags of Patio/Paver Base. All the bags were labeled exactly the same. Half the bags were sand and the other half of bags had a lot of rocks in them. I would not recommend if you do not want to chance getting rocks in your sand and do not want to pick them out.

WARNING!!!! DO NOT BUY!!!! NOT SAND!
5 dollars for 3/4 bag of rock.
First and last buy from homedepot for not taking this seriously. You cannot trust this brand saying it's good for paver base unless you want to decorate your garden.
I bought it just to end up with tons of rocks. And homedepot is not exactly responsive in regards to complaints like this. They should have better service and discuss with their source vendors. This is beyond ridiculous advertising incorrect products description!!

Exactly as described
This is a great product that i have used on several small jobs at my home and for customers of mine. So far, all i have had is a good experience with this product. Packs well and works as intended for the first or “base” layer.

Full of Rocks
The bags that I purchased were about 1/3 rock and 2/3 sand. The pictures of it on the web site do not show rock. The description on the bag does not say sand and rock mix. I have used paver base over the years and have never seen a bag so full of rocks. Usually, there are no large rocks and minimal pea gravel sized rocks. When I called HD about it they said that's how it comes and they cannot control their suppliers. Worst answer I've ever gotten. I had to use it as I was in the middle of a job with paid workers and could not stop to return it as the HD person said. This is ridiculous.

This is NOT stone dust. This is NOT paver base. This is construction debris run through some sort...
This is NOT stone dust. This is NOT paver base. This is construction debris run through some sort of grinder and put into these 50lb bags. You will find some debris dust, but mostly large chunks of brick, rocks, plastic, wood grade stakes, and some metal.... Seriously disappointed in this transaction. I bought 100 bags, and tried to work through appriximately 25 bags, before giving up and loading the other 75 bags of this GARBAGE ( two pick up truck liads ) back onto my truck. I was refunded for the 75 I returned, but was told "yeah that stinks, can't help with the other 25 bags" even after showing the service desk rep a couple pics of this junk...
DO NOT buy this junk....

A bag of rocks
The contents don't look anything like the picture above. It's mostly a bag of rocks with some fine brown dirt mixed in. A lot of the rocks are over 2 inches in diameter so have to throw them away if you only want a 2-inch base.
