Have about 15 feet of brick walkway by the back door that has sunk over time to where it puddles up in a heavy rain. They are not cemented down, so looking for suggestions for underlayment to raise them up about two inches. Thanks!

I've seen this done on a lot of home improvement shows and the main thing is to get a good, solid, level base.

A lot of time they put down a layer of sand to help with drainage, followed by a layer of crushed stone a few inches thick and use one of those compactor machines to really get it packed down before laying the pavers, brick, stone, etc.

I'm sure you'll find more than enough u-tube videos on this to guide you along.

I was looking into putting down some pavers a while back and this was the general rule. Lots of videos out there on how to do it.
