The Expert Installation Process of Stone Pavers


Step 2: Preparation First we mark out the location of the patio, walkway, or driveway. Client should call the utilities, phone company, and cable TV for locates before the start of the project.	Step 3: Excavation The minimum required depth depending on your application will be excavated. For walkways, a min. of 3" wider than the area. For driveways a min. of 6" wider than the area we are paving will be excavated.

Step 4: Base The area filled with gravel, the base graded as closely as possible to the final contour of the finished job. All installations sloped away from the house or building for drainage purposes. (Minimum 8' slope over every 10 feet) The gravel should be 3" below finished height.	Step 5: Screeding Pavers are laid on a 1" bed of coarse sand, placed directly on the compacted base. A 1" diameter pipe is used as a screeding guide on top of the gravel. We set up the guides so that your pavers are ¾" above the finished level to allow for compacting.

Step 6: Laying the Pavers The pavers are placed directly on the screeded bed of sand laying along the longest straight side. The Lines are kept straight using string lines. This minimizes the cutting required	The lines of the pavers are square, 90° to each other, to fit properly when installing circles, fans, or a soldier course (a border of pavers around the perimeter of the area) we will place these first before installing the rest of the pattern.

Step 7: Cutting The pavers that don't fit are cut along edges or around objects with either a guillotine cutter or masonry saw.	Step 8: Edging They prevent the pavers from moving and shifting over time proper Unilock® concrete products are used as curbing.

Step 9: Compacting After the installation is complete, including edge restraints, the pavers must be swept clean and then compacted with a plate compactor .	Step 10: Finishing Specially graded Unilock® Jointing Sand is swept into the joints between the pavers. This locks the pavers together creating a very durable surface. For additional protection from the penetration of weeds and insects, use Unilock® Polymeric Sand

Interlocking Stone Pavers - Permanence - Versatility

Homeowners, builders and landscape architects get lasting peace of mind from choosing interlocking concrete pavers. Our extensive selection of quality, pre-cast paving stones offers timeless solutions for projects involving driveways, walkways, outdoor patios and pool areas.

Why? Simply put, paving systems provide the aesthetic appeal and durability of natural aggregates at an economical price. Interlock paving stones withstand high traffic and rugged weather conditions.

Retaining Walls - Permanence - Versatility

These are many benefits of manufactured from high-density concrete retaining wall systems. They offer strengths comparable to natural stone at a fraction of the cost. Each piece has been precision manufactured to fit or lock into place.

Block retaining walls require no foundation and lock together without pins, clips or mortar. The front lip creates a built-in setback and the hollow core makes them easy to handle, easy to stack and promotes built-in drainage.

As a result, retaining wall systems have become the preferred building blocks for a myriad of residential and commercial landscape projects.

Today's modern manufacturing techniques and colour blending ensure that, whether your project involves a garden planter or a large retaining wall project, the end result is a job you'll be proud to call your own.
