Installation Guide
A proper base is the key ingredient for a successful paver application. Suggested depths are 4" to 6" for walkways & patios, 8" to 10" for driveways and other vehicular applications.
BASE PREPARATION
In moist or wet areas, a soil separation/geotextile fabric should be used to separate virgin soil from the base. The base material should consist of 3/4" quarry process. The base material should be level and compacted in 4" lifts using a vibrating gas powered plate compactor. After final compaction, check the entire area for proper pitch and level conditions.
EDGE RESTRAINTS
The borders for your layout design may now be put into place. The edging is laid directly upon the quarry process base and secured with 10" steel spikes One spike should be used every two (2) feet for walkways and patios and every one (1) foot for driveways and radii.
INSTALLATION OF PAVERS
Place the pavers in the desired patterns. Select pavers from multiple cubes for optimum color blending. String lines will assist in assuring straight lines. Spacing between pavers should not exceed 1/8"
COMPACTING AND SWEEPING
Spread and sweep sand over the top of the pavers. Vibrating with a plate compactor will force the sand between the joints stabilizing and leveling the final surface. Excess sand should be swept into joint. Resweep additionally as is necessary.
