INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Refer to www.call811.com before digging or excavation
begins. Dig entire area where pavers are planned ap-
proximately 6” deep and 6” longer and wider than
desired final dimensions. Remove any grass, sod, roots,
large rocks and/or organic material.
Use a vibratory plate compactor or hand tamper
to compact the new excavated area. Add ap-
proximately 2”of paver base material, spraying
with water to keep moist while compacting.
Repeat this process until desired thickness of
base is reached. (typically approx. 6”) Keep in
mind that any elevaon inconsistencies on the
compacted base will be evident on finished
paver surface.
Place two pieces of 1” outside diameter pvc or steel
pipe on compacted aggregate base with a comforta-
ble workable space between the two pipes.
(approx. 3’). Place paver sand between pipes and
use a wood 2x4 or aluminum screed to evenly
screed fine paver sand on top of compacted base
material. Keep repeating this process for entire
base area being careful not to disturb screeded
sand. Once pipes are removed, fill in area with
loose paver sand and smooth over with straight
edge.
Install PVC edge restraint (recommended) per the man-
ufacturer’s instructions. Lay pavers in loose, un-
compacted paver sand, using a rubber mallet to make
minor adjust pavers if necessary. Do not pound pavers
into place with mallet. Vibratory plate in next step will
compress pavers into sand. Keep paver joints tight to
each other laying in the pattern of your choice. Use of
string lines is suggested to ensure that vertical and
horizontal joints maintain alignment during installation
for the most even appearance.
Run vibratory plate or use hand tamper to com-
press pavers into loose sand setting bed. Care
should be taken in this step not to scuff or exces-
sively scratch paver surface. Use of cardboard
sheets or rubber mats under tamper plate are sug-
gested.
Sweep dry polymeric sand into joints between
pavers after initial compaction, being sure to follow
manufacturer’s recommended installation instruc-
tions. You are now ready to enjoy your 4x8 Holland
Paver project
