Lay paver stones in desired pattern. If

the desired pattern requires cutting, the

pavers can be cut with a circular saw with a

masonry blade.

Pave Away

You should now be standing before a flat, slightly sloped

expanse of sand. Take down the guide strings you used

to determine height and slope and put up new stakes and

strings to mark the lines for the pattern of you pavers (Image

10).

Start along your house or other long straight edge and lay

down the border pavers. (A border isn’t essential, but adds

a crisp, finished look, especially along curves.) Then lay

the rest of your pavers in your selected pattern. Just lay

the pavers in place- don’t stand on them or twist them.

Measure over to your string every few rows to make sure

you’re staying on track. Tap the pavers tighter together with

a rubber mallet. Midwest Manufacturing pavers have little

nubs on the side to serve as spacers. If you’ve taken the

time to set things up right, laying the pavers will go quickly.

Don’t walk or kneel on the edge of the patio until after you’ve

vibrated it; otherwise these pavers can sink unevenly.

Let pavers run “wild” near the edges of your patio. Using

a paver as a guide, (Image 11) mark the inner pavers,

remove and cut them on a masonry saw, then reinstall

the cut inner piece and the border piece.

On tight radius circles, you can use half pavers for the

border to avoid large, pie-shaped voids between them.

Always wear proper hearing and eye protection while

operating a masonry saw.

Mark pavers that run "wild" into the

border area. Then remove the paver, cut to

size and place back in position along with

border paver.

Cut pavers on masonry saw. Saw has built-

in sliding carriage for moving pavers past

the blade.

Recirculating water keeps blade cool and

lubricated.
