Base Layer |
|
Spread the base layer (e.g. road base, well graded crushed rock) evenly over
the prepared ground. Rake to an even thickness before compaction. Compaction
of road base is usually performed using a mechanical plate compactor.
Note: An uneven base will give an uneven paver surface.

Sand Setting Bed |
|
Spread and screed a coarse, well graded sand. The easiest way to
screed sand flat is to use two guides (screeding rails) and a screeding
board. Place screeding rails in position and spread a layer of bedding
sand over the rails. Pull the screeding board over the screeding rails
to obtain a uniform depth of 1 1/2 inches.
|
|
|
When the sand is screeded remove the guides and fill in the tracks
with bedding sand and smooth off.
