layingguide sustainable drainage Planning permission is not required if the rain water from the paved area does not run onto the public highway or discharge directly into the surface water drainage system. All paving and surfacing, whether it’s new work, replacement, or extension, is subject to legislation, so even if you’re only replacing your existing surfacing with products from Natural Paving, the work will have to be installed in accordance with the regulations.
Flags and setts from Natural Paving are of the highest quality and will give you years of trouble-free service when laid properly. All paving should be laid to a level that is at least 150mm below the DPC of any adjacent buildings.
Preparation Mark out the area to be paved, allowing 100-300mm working room at the edges. Dig down to remove any vegetation, topsoil or loose material. Where ground is poor, it’s better to dig down further and then build-up the levels using crushed stone. When working against a wall, the brickwork may act as a level guide, but for open spaces, a taut string line should be used. Use a spirit level to set the line as near to ‘level’ as is possible. Next, move one end of the string down by 15mm per metre of paving. So, if your paving is to be 4 metres wide, then move the string line down by (4 x15mm) 60mm. This will give adequate fall to drain the paving once it’s completed.
Laying Flagstones Do you have to use permeable paving? - no - The surface is permitted to drain to a permeable or porous area located within the grounds of the property. The easiest and most cost effective solution is to drain all rain water onto gardens or borders if suitable. If the existing paved area currently does so and there are no problems, then carry out a straight forward replacement of the old material. If proposed area is significantly redesigned then consider draining rain water with falls and/or line drainage to rain gardens or soakaways. NB soakaways must be 5m from property. Size of rain garden needs to be 10% of paved area. There are design criteria for rain gardens but simply a depression at back of lawn which rain water can collect and percolate through the soil. This can be a flower bed or gravel area if suitable.
Flagstones should always be laid on a “full bed” of sand-andcement that supports the whole flag and not just the corners. Use 6 parts of sharp sand or all-in ballast with 1 part cement. Mix together and add just enough water to make a mixture that binds to a sticky consistency: a good guide is that there should be sufficient water to allow the mix to be moulded into a ball without falling apart, but not so much that water would run out of it were it to be squeezed in the hand. To improve adhesion, consideration should be given to applying a PVA and water solution to the underside of the flags prior to bedding. Spread a layer of bedding mix that is roughly 50mm thick. Place the first flag onto this bed and use a rubber mallet to carefully tap it down until it is at the correct level. Place the next flag adjacent to that just laid, leaving a joint width of 10-15mm and again, tap down to level. Repeat this process, laying one flag at a time until the whole area is covered. The joints of flagstone paving look best when pointed with a mortar. Make a pointing mortar by mixing 4 parts washed sharp/rendering sand with 1 part cement. Again, add as little water as possible to bind the mortar without overwetting it. Feed pointing mortar into empty joints from the edge of a trowel and use a pointing bar to press it down firmly and to polish it when the joint is full. Try to keep off the new patio for the first 24-36 hours, by which time the initial set of the mortars should be complete. After 5-7 days, the patio should be fine for full use.

LAYING TIPS: Ensure the widest surface is uppermost. Circle, Octagon and Diamond features should be laid starting with the centre and working outwards.

Laying Natural Stone Block Paving All block paving, whether it’s a patio, a driveway or a shopping centre requires at least three layers: a sub-base to give it strength; a laying course of sharp sand to support the blocks; and the paving blocks themselves. It also needs to have firm edges to hold the paving securely in place. The sub-base should be at least 150mm deep for driveways and 100mm for patios. The laying course should be approximately 40mm. Taking into account the thickness of the block excavate to the required level ensuring you are 150mm below DPC of any adjacent building. It’s often a good idea to hire a mini-digger or a larger excavator with an experienced operator to undertake this task. Diggers are also useful for loading spoil and spreading the sub-base material. When excavating be careful of any services under the area to be worked. Edge restraints hold the paving firmly in place and prevent it ‘spreading’. Where the paving lies against a wall, this can act as the edge restraint, but elsewhere a restraining edge will need to be constructed. This may be a kerb or simply a course of paving blocks laid on concrete. Set up a taut string line and use this as a guide to both line and level while laying the edge course. Mix concrete for the bed and haunch using 6 parts all-in ballast with 1 part cement. Add just enough water to bind together the dry ingredients. Place the edge course units onto a bed of concrete approximately 100-125mm deep and tap down to level using a rubber mallet. When a kerb is used, it’s a good idea to lay the kerb and the edge blocks in one operation. All restraining edge courses must be haunched by placing concrete at the back and packing it down. Haunching should cover roughly two-thirds of the unit and be at least 100mm wide. Remember: these edge courses are supporting and restraining the rest of the paving so it is essential that they are firmly constructed. The next task is to spread, level and compact the sub-base material. Free draining material such as crushed stone known as “Type 1” is recommended to form the sub-base. The sub-base should be thoroughly compacted. Level out the subbase material to create a finished profile which matches that intended for the paving. It’s vital that the next layer, the laying course, has a regular, uniform thickness, so the sub-base needs to be accurate to around +- 10mm. Check the level and add or remove material as necessary to create a reasonably accurate profile. The laying course is formed by ‘screeding’ a damp coarse sharp sand to the required level. Building or masonry sand is not suitable and will cause the finished paving to settle. Spread and level a layer of sharp sand roughly 50-55mm thick. Pass over the sand once or twice with the plate compactor to partially compact. Use a length of straight timber to scrape off the top of the sand layer, reducing its level in the process and creating a smooth, even surface, approximately 40mm thick, on which to lay the paving blocks.
You may need various lengths of timber and a float trowel to prepare the laying course. It should be borne in mind that the final profile of this laying course will be the same as that of the finished paving, so it is worth spending time getting it right. The finished screed should leave the blocks 5-8mm high so they can be compacted downwards when laid. Lightly loosen the sand surface with a fine rake to allow for an even level after compaction Avoid walking on the screeded laying course, always work ‘uphill’, and choose a starting point that is a straight edge or a right-angle corner. Place each block carefully onto the laying course, keeping the joints hand-tight. Try to place the blocks straight down onto the bed so that sand isn’t trapped in the joints. Once blocks have been laid, they can be walked upon with care, but try to keep back from the leading edge. Take blocks from several packs at once to ensure they are fully randomised and there won’t be any problems with colour banding. Lay all the full blocks first. Blocks to “piece-in” can be cut using a hired-in block splitter or disc cutter. Avoid very small cuts that are less than one-third the size of a full block. Instead, cut two blocks, each being more than half-a-block, and use these to fill the gap. Once cutting-in is completed, the paving is jointed by sweeping kiln-dried sand over the surface allowing it to trickle into and fill the joints. The blocks are compacted with four to six passes with a plate compactor, changing the direction of pass as much as possible. Consideration should be given to the use of a rubber or neoprene mat attached to the underside of the plate compactor. This will minimise damage to the surface of the blocks. Check the area for any damaged blocks and replace them. Sweep any excess sand into a corner and then make another pass or two with the plate compactor to settle the sand into the joints. The surplus sand is used to top-up those joints that appear partially empty. And that’s it; your new Natural Stone Block Paving driveway can be used immediately. Over the first few weeks, the jointing sand may settle further and if this happens, the joints should be toppedup with additional sand.

health &safety A number of items within Natural Paving range of products are heavy or awkward in shape to lift. We recommend that, when moving pieces over 25Kg, that more than one person helps in completing the lift or that suitable lifting equipment is used. Furthermore we would also recommend that appropriate footwear and gloves are worn when handling our products. When cutting our products either with chisels or rotary disc cutters it is essential that suitable eye protection is also worn. Always ensure that suitable respiratory protection is worn to avoid the inhalation of dust particles produced by high speed cutting devices.
general COLOUR & SIZES: All natural stone products vary in colour, texture and each individual piece will have distinct markings. Always order enough material to complete the project and ensure that you mix the products from all packs during installation. It is essential that you examine each piece prior to laying as Natural Paving Products (UK) Limited will not accept responsibility for any costs associated with uplifting or relaying of products if any fault is discovered within the paving after installation. Due to the nature of natural stone and the way it is cut by stone masons, colour and size variations will occur. Consequently all product dimensions are nominal. Calibrated products are subject to a minimum of +- 3mm variation. Due to the composition of natural stone, colour variations may occur after installation. The effect of the cement content in the pointing and base material may result in the temporary effect of efflorescence.
PACK SIZES: Some products are only available in Project Packs. A number of products may be subject to a minimum order quantity. Please check with your local stockist regarding pack sizes and availability. PRODUCT SUITABILITY: This brochure contains products suitable for external domestic paths, driveways, patio and garden applications when installed correctly. If you are in any doubt as to the suitability of our products for your project please seek advice from your stockist, or contact us directly at info@naturalpaving.co.uk Classicstone is a traditional hand cut rived flag and occassionally can result in some initial delamination of the surface. This is not in any way detrimental to the performance of the flagstone.
