Do pavers need to be set in concrete?

If you had pavers done, did they set them in concrete? If not, what did they do? I was told by one masonry person that pavers had to be set in concrete (which surprised me)>

Our pavers are set in a layer of crushed concrete, dirt, sand and then the paver stones on top.

Only our boarder is set in concrete. Everything else is typical sand and stone

I think if it's a driveway, otherwise they use sand, or little pebbles or something

Crushed concrete underneath. We have a driveway from previous owners that's concrete lined with pavers and it's a disaster - cracking, lifting, settling. We have to have them redone and are definitely not having them set in concrete because of this.

same here. i had one contractor tell me the same thing but if you contact cambridge they will tell you they void the warranty if the pavers are set in concrete.

they should not be "set" in poured concrete. there should be crushed concrete under them. sand swept in.

If it is around a pool, there should be about 6 inch of poured concrete dried, wire mesh, then crushed cement and sand swept in.

as previous poster said, only border set in cement so it holds everything else in place.
