Pavers Against House Siding

I just left the old siding on.

Pavers against house siding.

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. Brick colored pavers can warm up a home with wood siding but aren t really recommended for use with brick homes. I am planning to install a patio with pavers in my back yard. Pavers against siding yes taking out the slab would be necessary to do a stamped finish because of the height.

Grey pavers paired with a brick house are a less overwhelming combination of color. If you find your plans require laying pavers against vents siding or other materials choose another patio plan. Your 1 5 8 confined space will be fine. 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.

Masonry steps against wood whether concrete pavers or granite masonry steps should never be placed directly against wood. The bottom of the siding has small holes which are intended for breathing. Doing so will result in rot and water damage to the homes sill foundation. I have a request to build a raised paver patio that will have part of the retaining wall installed tight to the traditional house wall.

I am thinking that i will have to remove the sidin. Also in the picture above you can t see the new sideing. 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. Then there s be another piece of flashing under the siding that would be bent and run out on top of the pavers.

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. Stamped concrete on the replacement slab would be the finish instead of then setting pavers on top. You can install pavers against your house foundation as long as it is the foundation itself. 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.

Ok so now we just cut out 14 inches from the overall 18 inches. 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. 3 i would presume you will have a 5 inch step into the house. This means that you can lay the pavers against the concrete of your foundation as it rises from the earth.

Then the pavers would be butted against this flashing. 5 now we re down to only having 1 5 8 of area. It will also be a neon sign inviting carpenter ants and termites to come into your house and start munching on your home.
