Installation Process
Paver installations require that the designated area is cleared by removing any existing grass
or plants and digging an area deep enough to account for the base layer, sand and pavers.
BASE
Pavers are installed on a compacted granular aggregate which should be between 4 and 6 inches deep.
The depth of the base layer is influenced by the soil type and application. The base layer should be
leveled and compacted firmly, and will safeguard against the pavers shifting or settling.
BEDDING SAND
Once the base is in place, a layer of sand is added and leveled or screeded. Bedding sand plays a critical
role in ensuring proper interlock between the pavers and allowing for a smooth surface. Bedding sand
should be at least 1-inch deep and spread evenly across the base material.
JOINT SAND
Pavers are laid on top of the leveled sand. Joint sand is then swept into the joints between the pavers,
and a compactor can be used to ensure the sand is evenly distributed into the joints. Joint sand helps to
further lock the pavers in place and plays a critical role in keeping debris and weeds out of the joints.
