Same here in the desert. We had quite a bit installed in Las Vegas about

the first brick. I think that's the trick. If you live in a place that has
frost heave, all bets are off. A lot of it is doing it right the first
time.

Up North we use crushed rock as the setting bed and use a plate
compactor to consolidate the substrate, then lay a thin layer of sand
for setting the pavers.

Again, a lot of it is in the prep work.
