Installation Instructions

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.

PAVER PATIO & SIDEWALK INSTALLATION

Pave Away

You should now be standing before a at, 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, nished 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.
