Installing Concrete
Pavers

  



Capitol Interlocking Pavers are simple to install:

  1. Determine and mark the project’s boundaries.
  2. Create a solid sub-base of stabilized road stone to within 4” of final grade. Suggested sub base is 4”-6” for patios and 8”-10” for driveways.
  3. Compact sub-base with tamper or vibrating compactor.
  4. Add a 1” to 1 ½” sand bed. This is a leveling bed for pavers and is not compacted at this time.
  5. Lay the pavers in the desired pattern on the sand, being careful not to disturb the bed. (view patterns below)
  6. When all the pavers are in the position, spread a light layer of sand over the entire area and run the vibrating compactor over the stones. This will seat the stones, evening the joints, forcing sand up into the joints from the bottom.
  7. Spread a final light layer of sand over the entire area and sweep in all directions to fill in the joints.
