Lay out the driveway in the shape you want it

• Stake it out using wooden stakes and marking
  spray paint.
• A string line tied between stakes can help guide
  you while laying out the shape and grade as well
  as during the actual construction. This will keep
  you on grade.
• Be sure the driveway will be able to drain when
  completed.

Excavate the area for the driveway to a depth of
at least 12 to 14 inches

• Because of the amount of digging and excavated
  material to be disposed of, it is recommended
  that you hire an excavation contractor.
• The contractor will have the equipment, haul
  truck, experienced personnel and location
  necessary to haul off the waste.

Begin at the center of the end of the driveway
and work out toward the edges using brick spacers
to keep even spacing

• Starting in the middle will ensure that the
  bricks on each side, or edge, are the same size.
  This provides a uniform look.
