I wouldn't. When you realise, 6 months later, that you had forgotten
something critical, want to extend the patio, or the patio cracks
(NOT unlikely if the previous one did), you have a major problem.
With sand, you Just Redo It.

I don't know where you got the idea that laying on sand is for
professionals only. I did it with no more instructions than the
knowledge it was possible. It wasn't hard.
