| Concrete Paver Installation 1) Excavate area to be paved. 2) Install and compact base material (either 1 1/2" processed gravel or 3/4" crusher run). • Typically 4-6" deep for walkways, patios, and pool decks • Typically 8-12" deep for driveways 3) Install Pave-Edge® restraints directly on the base and secure with 10" steel spikes. 4) Spread coarse concrete sand and screed to a uniform depth of 1-1 1/2" thick. 5) Place pavers in desired pattern and cut where necessary to fit. Use 2 3/8" thick pavers for most residential applications and 3 1/8" thick pavers for commercial vehicles. 6) Compact the pavers into the sand bed with a plate compactor. 7) Sweep dry sand into joints and compact. Repeat procedure until the joints are full. Note: Poor draining soils, such as clay, may require additional excavation and base material and the use of a woven geotextile fabric. |
