1. EXCAVATION - 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. 2. BASE PREPARATION - The base material should consist
of 3/4" quarry process (class 5 gravel). The base material should be level
and compacted using a gas powered plate compactor. After final compaction,
check the entire area for proper level conditions. 3. EDGE RESTRAINTS - The borders for your layout design may now be put
into place. The plastic edging is laid directly upon the quarry process base and
secured with 10" steel spikes one spike should be used every two feet for
walkways and patios and every one-foot for driveways. 4. SETTING BED - A setting bed of mason sand can now be spread on
top of the compacted base. This is a fine layer to further level the patio. 5. INSTALLATION OF PAVERS - Place the pavers in the desired
patterns. String lines will assist in
assuring straight lines. Spacing between pavers should not exceed 1/8" 6. COMPACTING AND SWEEPING - Spread and sweep sand over the
