Pavers Against House Siding

3 i would presume you will have a 5 inch step into the house.

Pavers against house siding.

This means that you can lay the pavers against the concrete of your foundation as it rises from the earth. Also in the picture above you can t see the new sideing. Then there s be another piece of flashing under the siding that would be bent and run out on top of the pavers. The bottom of the siding has small holes which are intended for breathing.

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. Experts believe that mixing a brick home with brick hardscape usually results in too much red. I am thinking that i will have to remove the sidin. 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.

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. Grey pavers paired with a brick house are a less overwhelming combination of color. Laying your pavers up against the siding looks bad. Ok so now we just cut out 14 inches from the overall 18 inches.

5 now we re down to only having 1 5 8 of area. Then the pavers would be butted against this flashing. 4 your pavers are no less than 2 3 8. It will also be a neon sign inviting carpenter ants and termites to come into your house and start munching on your home.

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. 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.

Pavers against siding yes taking out the slab would be necessary to do a stamped finish because of the height. Doing so will result in rot and water damage to the homes sill foundation. Stamped concrete on the replacement slab would be the finish instead of then setting pavers on top. Masonry steps against wood whether concrete pavers or granite masonry steps should never be placed directly against wood.

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