Six Easy Steps to installing your patio

1.  Compact 2-4 inches of gravel or sand.

2.  Make sure that you will be laying your pad in an area where they won’t move around.  To prevent this, either sink the pad down in the ground, or use landscape lumber around the edges.

3.  Make sure the surface that you will be laying the patio stones on is reasonably level. (If it’s not perfectly level you can get away with it because of the natural look of the stone.)

4.  Lay your slab down on the flat surface, making sure that they are tight together

5.You can cut any of our slabs or patio products using a diamond blade wet saw.  **Be sure to use proper safety equipment when operating.**

6.  After your patio is complete, take a fine grained sand or polymeric sand and use it as grout between the cracks. This step is optional but will help prevent shifting and weed growth.

Estimation Guide For Brickstone

The following information is only a general estimation guide.

1) Measure the length and width of desired pathway in feet.

2) Multiply length and width to give you the area

3) Then divide the area by 2.0 (the square footage of a Brickstone core). To give the quantity of cores required, Round up to the nearest whole number.

 

Estimation Guide For Original 18" x 18" Slabs

1) Measure length and width of desired patio/pathway in feet.

2) Multiple length by width to give you the area.

3) Take your area measurement and divide by 2.25 (The square footage of a 18" x 18" slab).

4) This will tell you how many slabs you need. Round to the nearest whole number.

1) Measure the length and width of desired patio/pathway in feet.

2) Multiply length by width to give you the area.

4) This will tell you how many slabs you need. Round to the nearest whole number.

1) Measure the length and width of desired pathway in feet. (length should be the longer of the two)

2) Multiply length and width to give you the area

3) Then divide the area by 1.5 (the square footage of a ROXstar core) to give quantity of ROXstars required. Round up to the nearest whole number.
