Installation Guide

Rundle Stone
Patio Pavers
PATIO PAVER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1 - Excavation
Stake out your patio or walkway area.
Excavate an area that extends 6” beyond the staked area and to a depth that allows
1.5” for the pavers, 1 inch for bedding sand, and 6” compacted aggregate base.
Final grade should slope away from building foundations.
STEP 2 - Aggregate Base
Fill and compact layers of aggregate base material until you have a 6” deep
compacted base.
Best results are achieved by using a plate compactor or hand tamper.
Lightly wetting the base material may improve compaction of the base.
Edge restraints should be installed on the compacted base on one or two sides of
the project area
STEP 3 - Sand Leveling Pad
Set screed guides parallel to each other on the base.
Fill the excavated area with sand approximately 1” deep.
Screed the sand as needed to achieve a level sand base 1” deep.
Remove the screed guides and fill the voids with sand.
