Instructions |
 |
- Prepare the site, making a compacted base
with 17AA or 21AA slag or gravel between 8" and
12" for driveways, or with 30-A slag sand up to
4" to 6" for patios and walkways. Slope as
necessary for drainage.
- Spread a layer of slag sand between 1" and
1.5" thick over compacted base. It is important
to maintain consistent thickness of bedding
sand. Screed the sand to desired level. Allow
for thickness of paver and for compaction of
sand (approximately .25" to .5") to be done in
step #5.
- Lay the paving stones in the patterns you
choose, starting edge stones from existing line
such as curb or house.
- Make any necessary cutting of stones with a
paving stone splitter or masonry saw.
- Make a minimum of two passes over paving
stones with a plate vibrator.
- Fill the joints by sweeping dry sand over
the paving stones, leaving a thin layer for
final vibration. Use slag sand for Carousel
Stone, but sweep the paving stones clean before
step #7.
- Vibrate sand into joints and sweep off
excess sand. The pavement is now ready for
immediate use.
