The Professional Way
Please read instructions carefully before proceeding.
When planning to pave your patio, driveway. pool area, etc. The following requirements must be considered. The specific criteria may not necessarily agree with local codes and regulations. If no local codes or regulations exist, refer to the minimum standards of the F.H.A. or V.A. requirements.
Before laying your paving stones, remove as much soil as necessary from the area where the Pavers are to be installed. To properly figure the correct depth, measure the thickness of your Paver, allow one inch for the masonry sand leveling bed and 0-12 inches aggregate depending on the nature of the base soil and the particular use for which the Pavers are to be utilized. The slope recommended for adequate water runoff is 1/8 inch per foot.
To prevent movement of the edge stones, some form of restraint must be used. This can be either building, concrete curb or sidewalk, treated redwood or other suitable materials. A 1" bed of concrete sand (1/8" particle size is recommended) should be used for placing the Interlocking Pavers hand tight against each other.
Spread the gravel evenly and tamp down, using either a vibrating compactor (they can be rented at various places around town) or a lawn roller.
1-.Using a screed or 2 x 4 board,
level the sand to a height of 1/4 to 3/8 inchh above desired base; and/or remove sand as
required. |
2-.Now lay Pavers hand tight togheter from a straight edge on the smooth surface working forward on top of the pavers. Be sure not to disturb surface before laying pavers. As the pavers are laid, be sure that each Paver is level and even with the other Pavers and that the gaps between the Pavers are as small possible. |
 3-.After the Pavingstones have been properly installed, spread sand across the surface. Vibrate Pavingstones to grade. If tamping, use a board to lay across Pavers, otherwise Pavers could break. |
 4-.Sweep sand into joits and hose off exess silt. Now step back and anjoy; you have just completed a very profesional job that will give you years of pleasure. CONGRATULATIONS!! |
