Building patios, walls & walkways in Nashville clay
A paver patio is a base with pavers on top. Excavation depth, gravel type and compaction decide whether it is flat in ten years, and none of it is visible once the pavers are down — which is exactly why it is where corners get cut.
Slope is not optional. A patio that drains toward the house sends every storm at the foundation, and in Middle Tennessee clay that is how crawl space problems begin. It should fall away visibly, and it should be checked before the base goes in.

FAQ
Yard by yard: patios, walls & walkways questions
Why do paver patios sink or heave?
Almost always the base. Pavers over a couple of inches of sand on clay move with every wet winter and hot summer; pavers over six to eight inches of compacted aggregate on a graded subgrade do not. Edge restraint matters too — without it the field spreads and the joints open. When two quotes are far apart the difference is usually what you cannot see.
How long does a patio or walkway take to build?
A typical patio is a few days to a week: excavation and base on the first days, then laying, cutting, edging and sanding. Walls and steps add time because they need their own footings. The base is compacted in layers and it is the part that cannot be rushed, so a crew that finishes a large patio in a day has skipped it.
