FAQs For Paver Installation Services

washed concrete sand
 
The Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute recommends washed concrete sand as the best base sand for pavers. Concrete sand, also known as bedding sand, is coarse and doesn’t trap excess moisture beneath the paver surface.
Many questions come up regarding how to lay pavers on dirt, however, it is not recommended to lay pavers directly on dirt or any unprepared ground. For pavers to look and perform their best in a permanent situation, the ground needs to be levelled, excavated and hard compacted.

The importance of compacting pavers after laying them cannot be overstated. Skipping this step in the process can lead to a weaker pavement surface and lots of failure jointing compound

The short answer is Yes. Paver sealant is an important maintenance tool to keep paver patios, driveways, walkways and pool decks looking as beautiful as the day they were installed.

Most experts recommend waiting for at least 24 to 48 hours before sealing the new pavers after installation. This gives the pavers time to settle and ensures that they’re completely dry before being sealed.

Steps Of Pavers Installation

1. Prepare the Area

Paver Installation Services

Demolition & Excavation

Make sure not to hit any utility lines when removing grass and existing hardscape surfaces in the area where you will lay your pavers.

  • For vehicular areas like driveways, excavate 9 ½ inches from the end of the graded slope. 
  • For pedestrian areas, excavate 7 ½ inches from the end of the graded slope. 
  • For an RV area or commercial vehicle area, excavate 11 ½ inches from the end of the graded slope.

Grade the Area

To ensure proper water drainage away from your home, grade the area at a 2 per cent slope after removing any grass or hardscape. You may have to build up low areas with soil or remove soil in too-tall areas to achieve the desired slope. It is best to fall each foot 1/4 inch for the first four feet away from the house, and 1/8 inch for the next four feet.

Compact the Sub-base

A strong sub-base is essential to a long-lasting, structurally sound paver installation. Prepare the area where you will place the pavers by compacting the soil using a plate compactor or tamper. This crucial step ensures that there won’t be any unwanted air gaps in your system. It is possible for pavers to become sunken or raised if the sub-base is not compacted correctly.

Install the Geotextile Fabric

For areas with clay soil like Southern California, geotextile fabric is strongly recommended. This will protect your foundation from the underlying soil. Make sure adjacent fabric pieces are overlapped if necessary. Make sure adjacent fabric pieces are overlapped if necessary. Secure the fabric with your stakes or geotextile fabric anchoring staples.

2. Place the Foundation

Prepare Road Base

The foundation for your pavers must be laid after your land has been prepared properly. Pour your Class II road base in increments of two inches, compacting twice with your plate compactor before pouring the next two inches. In order to prevent air gaps, it is not recommended to compact all 4, 6 or 8 inches at once. This will cause future repairs to be necessary. The total required depth of the road base depends on the amount of weight the area will need to support.

  • For pedestrian foot traffic, four inches of road base will suffice.
  • Six inches is needed for large lawnmowers and vehicles.
  • RV areas require 8 inches of road base to support vehicle weight.

The road base should be hosed down and compacted until 95% of it has been compacted. If you were to drive over the road base with a tractor at this point, no tire marks would appear due to the road base being as hard as a rock from compaction.

Pour and Screed the Sand

Place your screeding guides (1” pvc pipes) on top of the pour sharp road base and road base angled bedding sand over the entire base. This is different from the round sand you would find at your local beach. It is angular and sharp, making it beautiful in paver joints. Next, use your rake to roughly level the sand. Follow this up by screeding the sand with a 2×4 to ensure an even 1-inch depth.

3. Lay Down Pavers

Paver Installation Services

Now for the part you likely imagined when planning your project in the first place. It’s time to lay your pavers. Based on your paver materials, there is a seemingly endless number of pavers patterns to choose from. Lay the desired pattern of pavers before cutting any border stones.

Cut the Border Stones

Wear eye and ear protection while using your circular saw with a concrete blade. Keep in mind when cutting border stones to avoid sharp angles that can make mowing the adjacent lawn difficult. Now you can safely remove and wet saw them. 

4. Install Edging

Trench the Border Stone Area

Before replacing the border stones, trench the areas that lay against grass, dirt or asphalt. Your trench depth should reach the native soil (5 ½ inches for a patio and 7 ½ inches for a driveway) and extend the same width as your border stone.

Your trench must then be equipped with proper bond beam footings. Rebar can be added for additional support and longevity (optional). Pour concrete, set your newly cut border stones, and tamp them down. Concrete can accumulate on the side of border stones as a result. Ensure that the outside edges of your pavers are free of excess concrete.

5. Add Joint Sand and Compact

Next, pour joint sand or polymeric sand over the top of the entire paved area until it reaches about ⅛ inch above the top of the pavers. Polymeric sand is typically used with large jointed pavers, and regular joint sand will suffice for smaller joints. After verifying that a pad is being used on your plate compactor, tamp the sand down. Failure to use a pad will result in scratched pavers which will need to be replaced.

6. Clean and Seal

Paver Installation Services

You’re almost finished! Using a broom or leaf blower, clean up excess sand before watering down the entire paved area.

For polymeric sand applications, proper watering is necessary for the sand to harden. One of the best ways to water polymeric sand is to adjust your hose nozzle to gently water and gently water the pavers until no more water will soak in. It’s important to ensure all polymeric sand is washed off from paver tops to avoid an unsightly haze.

We always recommend sealing your pavers with quality products to ensure they last a long time. After the area dries, apply your paver sealer using a spray applicator and your push broom. Keep your pavers away from moisture for 48 hours after sealing them. Turn off any automatic sprinklers.
