Nantucket Pavers, Inc.

Installation Options

We generally recommend the traditional "sand set" installation method for

all Nantucket Paver blocks. With this method, you have greater control over

your base and easier replacement of blocks that may become damaged over

time. We do not recommend using Bluestone dust or Quarry dust as a base

for our products.
