I would think if the ground/ SAND is leveled out and compacted, that would be enough for pavers.
Please use "Paver Base" under your pavers. You will be glad you did.
Home Depot and Lowes has it in bags.
Dirt Cheap north on 441 has it in bulk.

Using normal "sand" under pavers would be dangerous.
Sand would allow pavers to tilt and shift.
