EXCAVATION WIDTH • 1’ beyond edging
EXCAVATION DEPTH • Measure down from grade string to estimate correct depth
EXCAVATION DEPTH • Base: 4” • Setting bed: 1” • Paver thickness
ROUGH GRADE • Compact soil with vibratory plate
GEOTEXTILE INSTALLATION • Fabric over rough grade • Maintains soil and base material separation
BASE MATERIAL • ROC (limestone) or crushed granite • Thickness varies based on traffic • 8” for vehicles • 4” for foot traffic
EDGING • Keeps pavers from slipping along edges
EDGING • Installation is pre- or post-paving, depending on material
EDGING • Plastic (invisible)
EDGING • Mortar
EDGING • Soldier course • Side by side
EDGING • Sailor course • End to end
SETTING BED • Sand or crushed granite • Screeding Notch = paver depth - ¼”
SETTING BED • Pipe screed: pulling board over buried pipes • When notched screed can’t be used
PAVER PLACEMENT • Guideline
CUTTING PAVERS • Wet saw (Tile cutter)
CUTTING PAVERS • Chop saw • Mason blade • Diamond tip blade
CUTTING PAVERS • Set and 3 pound hammer
CUTTING PAVERS • Guillotine Cutter
SEATING PAVERS • Rubber mallet or vibratory plate
SWEEPING JOINTS • Sweep dry sand between cracks • Can mix dry mortar with sand • Gatordust is premix sweep
Effervescence • Salt residue from cement
