| If you're installing a walkway or patio, you will need to remove a 4" to 6" depth of soil below your intended surface. For driveways and other heavy-duty applications, you will need an 8" to 10" depth. In moist or wet areas, lay down a geotextile fabric before compacting your base material of 3/4" stone with fines compacted in 3" lifts. Level to required grade, allowing room for setting bed. |
Cover top of the compacted base with 1" to 11/2" of concrete sand. Level sand in narrow areas by pulling a 2" x 4" board, notched to give the proper depth, across the top of the plastic edging. To level wide areas, use a 2" x 4" board on top of parallel 1" diameter pipes. |
| Place Presidential Series® pavers in your desired pattern. Select pavers vertically from multiple cubes for optimum color blending. Use a concrete saw to cut odd-shaped pieces within your design. Use string lines to assure a straight layout. Spacing between pavers should not exceed 1/8". |
Plastic edge restraints are ideal for laying out the borders of your design. Lay edging directly on stone base and secure with 12" landscape spikes. Use spikes every two feet for straight walkway and patio edges, every one foot for curves and driveways. |
