Patio Stone Installation Basics

Step 1  -  Remove Grass

Remove grass from area to be laid with Pavestone Company patio products.  Build a frame for your patio or walk with aluminum or plastic edging (redwood or treated lumber can also be used). Patio should slightly fall away from home.

Step 2 - Sand

Place roughly 1 in. of paver sand over area.  (A 2" x 4" notched board approx. 1.5 in. from each end can beused to screed or leel paver sand).   Pack with hand tamp or gently spray water hose skywward over project.

Step 3 - Placing Stones

Start in corner and place stones over entire area.  Slide stone straight down; do not slide across pave sand as this will disrupt the base.

Step 4 - Side View

After laying stones, sweep paver sand across stones, filing joints with sand.  (Do not use any kind of Portland Cement or mortar mixture).

How To Install Your Retaining Wall

1.Dig a trench 12" wide by 2" to 4" deep (6" deep with Gardenwall).  Use sand for foundation.  Lay base course using string line and level.  Complete base course before proceeding to second course.

2.  Lay first course level.  Align units side by side using string line at back edge of unit.

3.  Stagger remaining courses as shown.   Connecting lip should overhang back edge of base.

4.  Making a curve.  Using Windsor Wall, you can make curves with a radius as small as 25".  To maintain even spaceing, use a hammer to remove edges of the retaining lip.  Always wear safety glasses and gloves.

5.  Making a corner.  Use hammer and chisel to split unit in half.  Half will be used for the corner.  Removing connecting lips on corner and adjacent units.  Lay full units on either side of corner.  For second course, lay remaining half unit in opposite direction to stagger wall.
