Or you can completely cover the steps if you like.
Glue pavers over concrete steps.
Between the pavers on the steps and those on the patio to allow for movement.
Can i glue pavers over the steps.
This helps drain water.
It is a common practice to mortar or glue the perimeter pavers.
Before installing pavers over concrete the surface is cleaned with pressure washer to remove any dirt or debris.
Especially brick steps which are the most susceptible to water damage ie.
It is stronger and easier to apply.
Once the concrete has dried border pavers will be glued down using mortar or a construction adhesive.
We recommend that you always use concrete adhesive when gluing pavers to the perimeter of a concrete slab.
Just be sure to leave a gap of at least 1 2 in.
Plan to lay pavers over both the face and surface of the steps.
Spalling deteriorated joints etc i would use mortar but the way i described is very doable.
Then a one inch thick layer of sand is added across the entire area where the pavers will be laid down.
Leave a 1 2 inch gap between the bricks.
The one thing i would say is make the joint between the pavers big enough to get enough polymeric sand in there to be strong enough to keep the water out 1 4.
Use a scrub brush and a hose or a power washer if dirt is embedded.
Below is a diagram to help better illustrate installing your pavers on top of a concrete base.
If your patio includes steps you must cover the treads in order to maintain the height of the steps.
Lay out a row of bricks along the concrete surface to determine your pattern.
