D esign Guide – Creating Bands and Borders with Paving Stones Paving Stones
Landscape designs are further enhanced when paving bands and borders
are incorporated. With a little planning and creativity, geometric patterns, grids and bands can take your pavestone project to the next level in aesthetic appeal. Often the band or border stone will contrast the fieldstone color. Holland Paver and Plaza Paver Rectangle are often used as border stones. In addition to enhancing design, they also increase structural support for cuts made to field stones.
Soldier Course Borders Border
DecoraStone™ Paver with single Holland Paver banding.
Field Single Course Border
Double Course Border
TIP: Should you have a very narrow area to pave, you could switch your border to a sailor course formation.

D esign Guide – Planning Your Space pavestone.com
...to accommodate your project and lifestyle.
All size recommendations are relative to actual patio furniture, traffic flow and design goals. The general rule of thumb is to think first, then design, so that you incorporate all of the necessary components into the design and materials estimation. The requirements shown in this booklet are considered to be absolute minimums.
Cafe table with 2 or 3 chairs 10 ft. diameter or square = 90 to 100 square feet
Area to comfortably access a BBQ grill 5 ft. x 5 ft. = 25 square feet
Traffic lane 3 ft. to 4 ft. width x length of pavement area
Average patio or breakfast size table 13 ft. diameter or square = 135 to 169 square feet
For example, a 5-ft. table and four (4) chairs may only appear to require a 10-ft. diameter patio. However, place four (4) adults in those chairs, then pull away slightly from the table as though you are relaxing after a satisfying meal. Now imagine the host/hostess serving dessert. Would he/she be able to walk easily around the table or would they find themselves walking around with one foot on the patio and one in the flower bed. Anticipating real patio use and traffic flow will enable you to design an appropriate sized setting.

Your Dream Patio is Seven Steps Away
Before*
After
* The old concrete patio slab was removed from the yard and a new french patio door was installed in place of the window on the home’s exterior wall. The featured patio was constructed of DecoraStone™ Pavers and edgers cut from DecoraStone™ Pavers in Red/Charcoal with a Holland Paver Charcoal border laid in a soldier course pattern. To complement the patio, Estate Edge™ planters in Limestone were added.

Step 1 – Excavating For our first step, we laid out a rectangle which most closely approximates the patio’s finished shape, by placing a stake about 2 ft. past each corner. (Photo 1) To guide accurate stone laying, it’s important to establish parallel sides and 90˚ corners. You can make an accurate 90˚ angle using the 3-4-5 triangle method. (Diagram A) A. Drive a stake at the primary corner and wrap a stringline right at the corner.

F. Continue your excavated area 6 in. out past your stringlines and to the depth determined (in Chart 1) below the finished patio or walkway surface. G. Roll up the sod and store it in a cold damp place to keep it moist. When the job is complete, replace the sod around the edge of the paving stones.
Step 2 – Preparing the Base B. Measure from the stake 3 ft. along a straight base line. In this case, it’s the home’s foundation. Make a mark on the foundation with a pencil. (Photo 2) C. Lay the string out in the general direction of 90º from the house. Make a mark 4 ft. away from the house. D. At your first 3 ft. pencil mark, measure 5 ft. out diagonally towards your 4 ft. mark on the string. When the mark on the string is exactly 5 ft. from your first pencil mark, you have created a 90° angle from the house. It’s time to begin excavating. (Photo 3) E. Dig out the soil to the proper depth. TIP: Use a power sod cutter for best results. Use a shovel and pick, if necessary, to dig a "rough" depth to within an inch of the final depth. Use the string-lines (and additional cross lines) to determine proper excavation depth. In this case, 3 1/8" in. (Photo 4)
As you might expect, the secret of a long lasting patio lies in a good base for the paving stones. The thickness of your base depends upon the soil; low lying, wet soils need a thicker base than well drained soils. Four (4) to six (6) inches of well-compacted, finely crushed stone should be enough. However, the type of base material available varies from region to region. Local Pavestone Company retailers can recommend a suitable base and help you figure how much you’ll need. Your Pavestone Co. retailer can also help gather and perhaps, deliver your other supplies – coarse washed Pavestone paver sand, edge restraints and paving stones. One pallet of stone weighs 1.5 tons. Remember, paving stones are heavy. Home delivery should be seriously considered.
CHART 1 Cement over excavated sandy soils, (Photo 5) then roto-till the Portland Cement into your existing native soils. (Photo 6) Compact it with a vibrating plate compactor as we did on our project. After compacted, lightly wet the area to form a rigid base. This is called cement stabilization and is used for "foot traffic" areas only. The gas powered plate compactor, approx. $60/day rental, (Photo 7) saves a lot of hard labor when compacting the aggregate base. Later, you’ll want to compact the surface of the paving stones too. You’ll find it well worth the rental fee. It’s a heavy machine that is quite easy to use, but should be used by adults only. Since your finished patio surface will conform to the base, showing any dip or rise, it’s important to assure that the base is flat and the slope is just right. Edge Restraint - If you are using aluminum or plastic edging, nail to secure your edge restraints using landscape spikes, being careful to accurately follow your string-lines. (Photo 8) If you are using a concrete toe, go ahead and screed your paver sand 5 in. beyond your finished edge and lay your paving stones. The toe will be installed near the end of the project.
In some areas with sandy soils, you can use Portland Cement (1-94 lb. bag per 30 sq. ft.) called cement stabilization. Spread Portland 33

Step 3 – Screeding the Sand
Place two parallel pieces of 1 in. steel conduit pipe about 5 ft. apart onto your base. Place coarse sand between the conduit pipes. (Photo 9) Screed it back and forth with a straight 8 ft. 2" x 4" board to make it smooth. (Photo10) Then, carefully fill the gaps made from removing the pipes. Do not walk on the paver sand. Complete 8 x 8 ft. square sections at a time, laying the paving stones before smoothing the next section. *Note: When laying paving stones next to an existing concrete surface, the sand should lay exactly 2 1/8 in. below the concrete surface. Cut a 2 1/8 in. notch out of your board to speed up the screeding. Check your sand height by placing a paving stone on it against the concrete edge. It should stand 1/4 in. above the fixed surface. Compacted paving stones drop exactly 1 /4 in. and "no more" in the 1 in. foundation of coarse sand
Step 4 – Laying Paving Stones Start in your square corner and work your way out in a triangular direction. (Diagram B) (Photo 11) Most projects are bordered with Holland Paver to form a clean edge and a picture frame effect. A Holland Paver border was used in this project. Lay each new paving stone against the previously placed stone and slide it straight down. Do not slide paving stones across the sand, as it will disrupt your carefully screeded sandbed. Install each paving stone without leaving gaps. Nudge them tighter by tapping with a hammer handle or rubber mallet. *Note: Never stomp a paving stone into place.
DIAGRAM B Should you find the paving stones not aligning, stop and find the problem. Check the starting corner to make sure it’s exactly 90° and adjust the border stones if necessary.
34
Step 5 – Cutting the Paving Stones
Step 7 – Compacting
At the beginning and near the end of your paving project some areas may require cutting to form a particular line or edge. Draw a line on the surface of the stones with a grease pencil (crayon-like pencil). Splitting the paving stones with a guillotine cutter will work for simple cuts. But for angled cuts and better results, you’ll need to rent a wet saw with a diamond blade, (Photo 12) about $65 to $80/day rental. It’s quick and accurate. Always use protective eyewear when cutting or hammering stones.
Finally, set the paving stones firmly into the paver sand with the plate compactor. Like mowing the lawn, make only one pass. (Photo 14) Use a mallet and wood block to set hard to reach areas. Sweep sand into the surface cracks and vibrate them one final pass, sweeping more sand in as necessary. (Photo 15) Two passes with the plate compactor is sufficient. The paver sand, in the joints, will pack down after a few rainstorms. Keep extra paver sand on hand to refill the gaps as needed.
Step 6 – Edge Restraint Aluminum or plastic edging is our recommended edge restraint. Aluminum is lightweight, flexible, easy to use, and does not warp. Use long landscape spikes to secure your edge restraint along all exposed sides.
Driveway Concrete Toe
4-5 in.

Steel Rebar
DIAGRAM C
When aluminum edge restraint material is not available, you can make a concrete edge called a concrete toe. (Diagram C and Photo 13) Concrete Toe (Optional) – Good for Driveways When all paving stones are cut and laid in place, use a flat shovel and dig a trench around your finished edge. This is done by digging straight down, 2 to 4 in. below the bottom of the paving stones and out 4 to 5 inches. Dig straight down with a flat shovel, making sure not to disturb the paving stones. Next, follow the directions on a bag of Portland Cement to make a thick cement mixture. Shovel the mixture into the trench and smooth from halfway up the paving stone, in a 45° angle to the ground. Let it set. For driveways make the toe larger and set a piece of #3 steel rebar in it.

E dger Installation Basics
End-to-End Edger Installation
Step 1 – Site Preparation and Excavation Use water hose or stringline to determine placement of edgers. Mark installation area with spray paint; remove enough sod to bury the bottom of your edger stone 2 - 3 in. Step 2 – Base Preparation Once shallow trench is dug, lay in 1" paver sand and level. Step 3 – Placement of Edgers Place edgers end-to-end into trench and compact soil around stones for stabilization.
Estate Edge™ Stackable Edger Installation Step 1 – Site Preparation and Excavation • Use water hose or stringline to determine placement of stones. • Mark installation area with spray paint. • Remove sod: 4" deep, 6" wide. Step 2 – Base Preparation • After excavation, pack the ground in the bottom of the trench with a hand tamp. • Shovel 1" of paver sand into trench beginning at lowest level. • Place stakes at ends of project and tie a stringline at level setting.
Equipment List • • • • • • • • • • • •
Gloves & Safety Glasses Chisel & Small Sledge Spray Paint Shovel & Spade Nylon Mason’s String Hand Tamp Tape Measure Wooden or Metal Stakes Pick (if ground is hard) Paver Sand String Level Torpedo Level
Step 3 – Stone Placement • Starting at lowest point, place stone in paver sand and level front-to-back and side-to-side. • Place each additional stone next to it in the same manner. • Make sure all stones are same distance to level string. Note: Make sure each stone meets next stone at the set back. Stack stones directly over joints in previous row. Cut stone by using chisel and small sledge. Optional: use landscape fabric along back of stones to reduce seepage of fine soil particles. Fold under top row of stones.
Attention: The installation instructions shown are not comprehensive. Please consult your retailer for complete excavating, base preparation, and installation directions to meet your specific requirements. Be sure to use all safety equipment required.

Retaining Walls

Retaining Wall Installation Basics 2

Step 1 – Site Preparation Stake out the project with tall stakes. Place an accurate, level stringline at the estimated final wall height and mark the stake with a pencil. Measure down in 4 in. wall increments to determine placement of the first course. Tall walls require the first course to be BURIED. Small walls, three courses or less, require the first course to be partially buried (approx. 3 in.).
Typical Cross Section (Non-Reinforced Walls)
Step 2 – Excavation The thickness of your “base material” is dependent on whether your wall is defined as a tall wall (4 to 7 courses), or a short wall (3 courses or less). Consequently, your depth of excavation will vary for the two different projects. All walls require a 12 in. wide trench. For small walls, dig this trench 3 in. deep. Dig your trench to a 7 in. depth if your wall is a tall wall. Firmly pack the floor of this trench with a compactor or hand tamp.
Step 3 – Base Preparation For your small wall, simply add 1 in. of coarse sand to the bottom of the trench for leveling. For your tall wall, you’ll need a rigid base. Pack in 4 in. of a DRY sand and portland cement mixture (one shovel of Portland to six shovels of sand, well blended). This will “set up” if it gets wet. Local granular road base is fine if it is available.
Step 4 – Leveling Level the surface in both directions with a carpenter’s level. Replace a level stringline where the top of your first course will be.
Step 5 – Laying Stones
Bury first course
Pavestone manufactures retaining wall products with “no slump” concrete mix. Made under extreme pressure and high frequency vibrations, Pavestone wall products have a compressive strength equal to or greater than an average 3,500 psi and an average water absorption maximum of 7%.
Always begin at the lowest point of the wall. Position the wall stones side-by-side, lip down on the prepared base. Level each stone in both directions with a torpedo level. Verify each placement with your stringline. Once the base course is complete, continue assembling additional courses by positioning the stones in a staggered pattern to the course beneath. Pull each forward to secure. For small walls, backfill in 4 in. layers with your native or bedding soil. For tall walls, use a clean granular backfill like fine gravel or pea gravel at a 6 in. thickness behind the wall. Some of these walls may require a French drain behind the second course of wall stones. TIP: A landscape fabric placed directly behind the wall will prevent fine soil particles from washing through to the front of the stones.
Step 6 – Cutting Stones When building your wall, you may need partial stones. To split a stone, use a hammer and a chisel to score the unit on ALL sides. (Several stones on a pallet have a groove down the center of the back of the stone to make splitting into halves easier). Pound the chisel on the score line until it breaks.

Patio Stone Installation Basics
Step 1 – Remove Grass
Remove grass from area to be laid with Pavestone Company patio product. Build a frame for your patio or walk with aluminum or plastic edging (redwood or treated lumber can also be used). Patio should slightly fall away from home.
Step 2 – Sand Place roughly 1 in. of paver sand over area. (A 2"x4" notched board approx. 1.5 in. from each end can be used to screed or level paver sand). Pack with hand tamp or gently spray water hose skyward over project.
Step 3 – Placing Stones Start in corner and place stones over entire area. Slide stone straight down; do not slide across paver sand as this will disrupt the base.
Step 4 – Side View After laying stones, sweep paver sand across stones, filling joints with sand. (Do not use any kind of Portland Cement or mortar mixture). Attention: The installation instructions shown are not comprehensive. Please consult your retailer for complete excavating, base preparation, and installation directions to meet your specific requirements. Be sure to use all safety equipment required.
