Paving Stones

Paving stones are stones that are used to pave an area. There are a number of stones that are used for paving.

Paving stones have high strength, good abrasion resistance and low water absorption. If a paving stone is cracked it can be removed or replaced easily. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors to create beautiful landscape designs for patio, driveway or walkway.

Installation of Paving Stones

• Choose your paving stone design.
• Excavate the area where stones are to be placed.
• Install a base material and compact the granular surface by using plate compactor. Appropriate base material, thickness and compaction are essential to ensure that installation will last a lifetime.
• Place an inch sand bed using sharp edged sand and set the pavers on the sand bed in the desired pattern. The sand should be sharp course river washed sand or sharp sand with multi-sized grains.
• Restrain the pavers around the perimeter using PVC, aluminum, concrete or pressure-treated wood.
• A setting bed of concrete sand or granite stone dust can now be spread on top of the compacted base.
• Sweep the remaining excess dry sand over the surface filling the joints. This locks the pavers together.
• After the pavers have dried seal the stone.
