PREPARATIONS
The patio is designed to add versatility and style to your backyard and create a space to enjoy for
years to come. This patio should be built on a solid, level surface. Check local building codes and
regulations before choosing the location and beginning this project.
PATIO DIMENSIONS
1) Remove sod. Excavate the installation area to approximately 6” larger on all sides that the
actual finished patio.
2) Prepare and Compact Base. Lay landscape fabric. Install paver base and thoroughly to a
finished thickness of 4”.
3) Screed sand. Lay out 1” diameter pipe on base. Pour 1” of play sand over compacted base.
Screed play sand by dragging a 2 x 4 board over pipe.
4) Lay pavers. Lay paver stones according to the layout shown on Level 1.
5) Compact and spread sand. Compact the installed pavers with a plate compactor in both
directions at least two passes. Once compacted, spread play sand on the installation and
sweep into joints. Remove any remaining sand from the top of the patio. You can substitute
paver locking sand in place of play sand to inhibit weed growth.
