How to start?
Planning and Design
- Space Evaluation: Measure the area where you want to install the pavers. Determine the use of the space (patio, driveway, walkway) and specific needs.
- Material Selection: Choose the right pavers based on design and intended use. There are various materials such as concrete, clay, and natural stone.
- Design Pattern: Decide on the installation pattern, such as herringbone, basket weave, or mosaic, and design the layout on paper or using design software.
Site Preparation
- Excavation: Excavate the area to a suitable depth for the pavers and base, usually between 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm).
- Base and Subbase: Lay a compacted layer of gravel as a subbase and a layer of sand on top to level the surface.
- Leveling: Ensure the base is level and has a slight slope for water drainage.
Paver Installation
- Placing Pavers: Start placing the pavers from one edge, following the chosen design pattern.
- Compaction: Use a plate compactor to secure the pavers and ensure their stability.
- Joint Sealing: Fill the joints between the pavers with polymeric sand and compact again.
