Once everything was dug out and compacted, we put down a layer of water-permeable weed blocking fabric. We purchased the higher grade contractor quality fabric - it’s a little more expensive, but it was worth it to know this was being done right. We secured it in place with ground staples (weirdly marked “crampons” at Home Depot) and a hammer.
Even though the patio is 300 square feet, we bought 400 square feet of fabric and barely had enough because it requires a 6-12 inch overlap between rows. Putting the fabric down is easy, but definitely a two person job on a breezy day so that the fabric doesn’t blow away before one tacks it down.
