I would just add to Jim's suggestion a bag of dry sand raked flat
under the paving slab, this will help the paver to bed down properly.
BTW this technique is good enough for using as a footing for building
certain types of frame houses in the UK.
Absolutely! I forgot to mention that!
Actually, about 4" of fine crushed rock is very good as well because the
material will lock together when tamped down and provide a very stable
bedding for the stone. Even more important, if you live where it freezes
the porous material under the stone will aid in drainage and help
minimize freeze thaw/heaving.
Good luck on your project!
