INSTALLATION
APPLICATION – Base Sand
Begin by staking out the area for your project. Excavate the area to a
depth of 4 to 7 inches (100 mm to 175 mm) below the desired final
grade. To assure proper drainage, the base should be sloped away
from buildings and toward pavement edges.
Place 2 to 4 inches (50 to 100 mm) of QUIKRETE
®
All Purpose
Gravel (No. 1151) or crushed rock as an underlayment base.
Compact the base material using a tamper. Install edge restraints.
Edge restraints are required to stabilize the pavers and to prevent
shifting over time. Construct edging by setting bricks on end and
placing them flush with the paver surface. An attractive concrete
border can be accomplished by building forms and pouring
QUIKRETE
®
Fast-Setting Concrete (No. 1004-50) which will set in 20
to 40 minutes.
Spread QUIKRETE
®
Patio Paver Sand to a depth of 1 to 2 inches (25
mm to 50 mm) over the compacted base. Wet the sand with a fine
spray and screed the sand smooth and level using a 2x4. Lay pavers
outward from a corner. Using a mason’s line or string to align rows,
tap and level the pavers in place with a rubber mallet or similar tool.
Check the grade to ensure proper drainage.
APPLICATION – Jointing Sand
Check paver alignment and make sure the paver surface is smooth
and flat. If a paver has settled lower than the surrounding surface,
carefully remove the paver and add Patio Paver Jointing Sand to the
sand base. Replace the paver and tap with a rubber mallet or similar
tool until the paver is level with the surrounding pavers. Sweep
QUIKRETE ® Patio Paver Jointing Sand into the paver joints.
Dampen the sand with a fine spray. Repeat as needed to completely
fill the joints. It may be necessary to fill the joints several times during
the first two weeks as the sand settles and compacts.
