Installation Guide: How to Lay Copthorne® Pavers

Installing Copthorne® pavers isn’t difficult, but it does require some precision. Here’s a breakdown of the installation process:

1. Prepare the Ground:
   Start by excavating the area where you want to install the pavers. You’ll need to remove grass, plants, and debris, and then level the ground.
2. Base Layer:
   Lay a 6-8 inch layer of crushed gravel (¾” crusher run) and compact it to ensure a solid foundation.
3. Sand Bedding:
   Spread a 1-inch layer of coarse sand over the gravel. Level it with a screed board to make a smooth, even surface for your pavers.
4. Lay the Pavers:
   Start at one corner and work your way across. Make sure the pavers are snugly butted together. You can choose from various laying patterns like herringbone, basketweave, or running bond, depending on your style.
5. Compact and Fill Joints:
   Once all the pavers are in place, use a plate compactor with a polymer pad to gently tap them into position. Then, fill the joints with sand to secure them.
6. Final Touch:
   If desired, seal the pavers to enhance their color and provide additional protection against the elements.

DIY or Hire a Pro?
If you’re a hands-on homeowner, you might want to try the DIY route. However, for larger projects like driveways, hiring a professional installer is a good idea to ensure everything is properly laid.
