STEP 1 :
Mark the area to be redeveloped with an aerosol paint. Please allow 6" more on each side for better accessibility and space for curbs.
STEP 2 :
Excavate 9" deep in sandy soil, and 12" in clay soil. Plan a slope of 2% to circulate the surface water.
STEP 3 :
Install a geotextile membrane.
STEP 4 :
Place the wooden stakes inside the surface every 10'. Tie a rope to the same level where the pavers will be laid.
STEP 5 :
Fill with 3" of 0-3/4" stone, water lightly and compact with the vibrating plate in one direction and then the other Repeat this process until you have obtained a foundation of 6" deep in sandy soil and 9" in clay soil (depth of foundation may differ depending on model of paving stone chosen)
STEP 6 :
Install the two metal pipes at a distance of 6' at the same level as the stone dust bed. Spread 1" of dust. Slide the wooden board over the metal pipes and move the pipes as you go. Remove excess dust.
STEP 7 :
Lay the first pavers in a 90 degree corner according to the chosen pattern. If necessary, cut the pavers with a concrete saw. Stay away from the area as the resulting dust will irrevocably stain the pavers installed. Remember to wear safety glasses and hearing shells when cutting. Check the alignment of the pavers every 5 rows and correct if necessary with a screwdriver.
STEP 8 :
Install pavers and push 10" nails every 2 feet, you can replace with concrete curbs.
STEP 9 :
For the installation of polymer sand, please refer to the technical guide.
