Installation Process

How the Installation Process Works

1. We excavate the area being paved of any grass, dirt or existing concrete
2. Then we lay and compact the base material which consists of a recycled concrete roadbase. The depth of the roadbase varies by job, but typically a driveway will have a depth of 8”-12” and walkways, patios and pool decks will have a depth of 4”-6” deep.
3. We then spread coarse concrete sand and screed to a uniform depth of 1”-1½” thick.
4. After the sand is laid, the pavers are placed in desired pattern and cut where necessary to fit. We use 23/8” thick pavers for most residential applications and 3” thick pavers for commercial vehicles.
5. Installation of the edge restraint/concrete toe comes next.
6. The pavers are then compacted into the sand bed with a plate compactor.
7. We then sweep dry sand into joints and compact it once again. This process is repeated until the joints are full.
