Installation Guide
DIY or Hire a Pro?
If you love hands-on projects and have experience with home improvement, you can install these pavers yourself. However, for driveways or large-scale projects, hiring a professional will ensure a flawless finish and long-lasting durability.
Step-by-Step Installation:
- Prepare the Base: Excavate the area and install a stabilization grid (DriveGrid™ recommended) for stability.
- Lay the Foundation: Use 6″-8″ of compacted gravel for a standard base.
- Bedding Layer: Spread 1″ of coarse sand or chip stone for proper leveling.
- Place the Pavers: Arrange them in your desired pattern, leaving slight gaps for jointing material.
- Secure the Edges: Install edge restraints to prevent shifting.
- Fill the Joints: Use polymeric sand for a tight, long-lasting bond.
- Compact the Surface: Gently compact the pavers with a protective pad.
- Seal (Optional): Applying a sealer enhances longevity and aesthetics.
