Excavating: Before digging, call 811 (it's the law) to ensure that the area is clear of underground cables or utilities. As you shovel, achieve a slope in increments of 1.5% (3/16" per foot) to allow the proper drainage. Foundation: Rake the excavated area. If soil is clay-like, replace with limestone/crushed stone. If soil is granule or sandy, compact until level. Cover with a geotextile fabric. Lay 0-3/4" of crushed stone. Wet base and compact. The Setting Bed: Grade concrete sand with a straight edge. Check slope to ensure drainage is away from house. One more compaction to prep the base. Installation of Paving Stones: Install paving stones at a 90 degree angle. Start with a 3' horizontal line, then lay a 4' line that is perpendicular to the first line, lastly connect the lines with a 5' straight line forming a triangle. Once the paving stones are in, you can install curbstone on the granular base. Filling in Joints: Spread out polymer stabilizer sand on the paving stones and sweep in between joints. Compact the pavers to allow the sand to settle. Sweep one more to remove excess sand. Enjoy!!!
