How to Install Uneven Pavers

    • 1). Mix the mortar in a large bucket, adding water to the mix until the mortar is the consistency of peanut butter. Use an electric drill with a paddle-bit attachment to mix the mortar and water, mixing constantly as you pour the water into the bucket.

    • 2). Place a one-inch thick layer of mortar onto the concrete subsurface. Spread the mortar evenly with the flat of a steel trowel, making sure to cover the entire surface with the mix.

    • 3). Lay the pavers into the mortar with the flattest side facing upward. Sink the pavers into the mortar about 1/2-inch, with a joint between pavers of about 1/5-inch to allow for ground movement. Use tile spacers between the pavers if creating uniform rows and spacing.

    • 4). Place a carpenter's level across adjacent pavers. Adjust the pavers to make them as even with one another as possible. Push high corners of the pavers deeper into the mortar. Pull lower corners upward, placing slightly more mortar beneath that corner to raise the level. Allow the mortar to cure for 48 hours before grouting the joints.
