HOLLAND PAVERS
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.
