Top tips for DIY paving installation

The versatile concrete pavers from Paving Innovations New Zealand are easy to lay if you are good at basic do-it-yourself tasks. Here are our tips for expert garden paving:

Choose your site carefully, noting the location of any drains, trees and electrical cabling.
Measure the height of the ground to make sure that the surface is below floor level and slopes away from the house.
If the ground is firm and well-compacted, excavate to a depth of approximately 75mm.
If the site is soft or not well-compacted, excavate a further 50mm and add 50mm of top-course, which should be well-compacted.
Spread a 50mm layer of loose bedding sand over the base. Screed and level.
Set up string lines as height and line guides.
Lay pavers carefully following your chosen laying pattern. (Never use a compactor on the surface of the tiles.)
Leave a gap of 8-10mm between pavers to accommodate minor size variations and to avoid chipping.
If pavers need cutting, hire a suitable masonry saw and remember to wear safety equipment.
After all the pavers have been laid, hose them off and allow to dry thoroughly.
Spread pave-lock grouting, mortar pointing or a similar material to fill the gaps.
Use a sand and cement mix to create a 45-degree edge to give pavers a border where needed, and to hold them in place.
