Concrete Pave Stones
Step Stacker
IMPROVING YOUR LANDSCAPE™
Step Stacker The innovative Step Stacker adds beauty and simplicity to accommodate step applications. The concrete step forms assure simplicity in construction and yet allow for an artistic touch. The top open area is filled with Pavestone decorative pave stones completing the application with a landscaped finish. Fast and easy to use, Step Stacker makes step construction easy and affordable. COMPOSITION AND MANUFACTURE Step Stacker is made from a “no slump” concrete mix. Made under extreme pressure and high frequency vibrations, Step Stacker has a compressive strength greater than 4000psi, a water absorption maximum of 7%. APPLICATIONS
1. Prepare the area under the Step Stacker units’ placement. When measuring, expand the actual perimeter area by a least 6 inches on all sides to help stabilize the area surrounding the step stacker placement. Remove unstable materials to a depth of 4 in. and replace with a minimum 4 in. of stable inert materials (sand, small crushed stone, etc). Compact materials for a firm foundation
Decorative steps for: Manufactured Homes • Modular Homes • Construction Sites • Gazebos • Decks • Porches Temporary Stoops

2. Level the prepared area in order to provide a smooth surface. Place Step Stacker units on the level smooth surface and check for unit level front to back and side to side. 3. Place base course Step Stacker units on the prepared area taking care to abut the units tightly together. Check unit to unit alignment as well as unit level front to back and side to side. Cut a piece of a non-woven fine mesh landscape fabric 36 x 20 in. and place at the bottom of each unit. Be sure the fabric is situated so that a minimum of 4 in. is extending vertically up at the base of inside each unit. Backfill with a stable inert material (sand, small crushed stone, etc.) to the top of each unit. Compact material with a tamping bar or rubber mallet. Re-level material to the top of each unit. 4. Stack the second course of units on top of the base course units taking care not to disturb the base course units. Cut a piece of a non-woven fine mesh landscape fabric 36 x 20 in. and place at the bottom of each unit. Be sure the fabric is situated so that a minimum of 4 in. is extended vertically up at the base of inside each unit. Backfill with a stable inert material (sand, small crushed stone, etc.) to the top of each unit. Compact material with a tamping bar or rubber mallet. Re-level material to the top of each unit. 5. Place the third and final unit of Step Stacker. Cut a piece of a non-woven fine mesh landscape fabric 36 x 20 in. and place at the bottom of each unit. Be sure the fabric is situated so that a minimum of 4 in. of the fabric is extending vertically at the base of inside each unit. Backfill with a stable inert material (sand, small crushed stone,etc.) to the top of each unit. Compact material with a tamping bar or rubber mallet. Re-level material to the top of each unit. 6. Beginning at each unit open top, remove 2 in. of compacted stable inert material and re-compact unit opening material with tamping bar or rubber hammer. Install 2 3/8 in. Pavestone Holland Stone as shown on pattern drawing. Compact pave stones with a rubber hammer. Adjust amount of material removal based on actual dimension that the paving unit consolidates. Install remaining unit open areas with pave stones in the same manner. Cut pave stones to fit as needed. Top of pave stones should be level with the top of the Step Stacker unit. 7. Place sand over completed pave stone patterns and sweep until joints are filled. Repeat as necessary until joints remain full.

Typical Cross Section of Step Stacker with Pave Stone Installation Step Stacker Unit Pave Stones Material Filter Fabric Note: Colors are shown as accurately as possible in brochures & samples, but due to the nature of the product, regional color preferences and variables in print reproduction, colors may not match exactly. For best results in maintaining color consistency, pavers must be installed from several cubes at a time. Efflorescence, a whitish, powder-like deposit, may appear on concrete pavers. This is a natural occurrence in any concrete product and will usually wear off over time.
