The most comprehensive and thorough training on how CORRECTLY install paver which only 10% of contractors follow because they usually don't understand what they are doing and why they should be doing it in such a way: hence the failures you see all around.

Do you recommend adding gopher wire under the pavers in locations with high gopher or more activity?

[@UnilockLtd]

Hello, thanks for reaching out. It's not recommended to place gopher wire under pavers during the installation. The procedure generally involves installing the pavers first, then the edge restraint, followed by channeling in the rodent fence. Hope this helps!
