HOW TO PLACE PAVING STONES IN THE GARDEN OF YOUR HOMEPavers come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and colors, and it is for this reason that you can let your imagination run wild if you want to use them to beautify your garden. The pavers can be made of concrete, stone or other materials, and it is important that you can choose the material and color of the pavers depending on the design of your garden. Pavers can be easily laid in interlocking patterns or laid individually. With them you can create corridors or paths in your patio and decorate your garden as you like. It is very important that you create a solid base where the paving stones will be supported to ensure that the path remains firm.
STEPS TO PLACE PAVING STONES IN YOUR GARDENThe first step in laying pavers in your garden is to choose and create a layout of how you want your pavers to be laid out in the garden. You should ask a professional for help or you should let your imagination run wild and do it yourself. At this stage you must choose the size of the pavers and the type of pavers that you are going to use. You should draw the design to get a better idea.
The second step is to go to the land where you are going to place the paving stones and mark the design of the path with the help of stakes, spray or with the marking material that you have. This will help you to delimit the path that you are going to make on your land and measure the area where you are going to place the paving stones, and thus know the amount of paving stones that you are going to need.
The third step is to excavate the ground where you are going to place the pavers. It is important that the land is free of weeds and has as smooth a surface as possible. You must also take into account that the excavated ground must be about 12 cm deep so that it is level with the total ground and the paving stones are at the same height as the entire garden.
The fourth step is to add a layer of crushed stone into the excavated ground to create a base layer where the pavers reinforce each other perfectly. This layer prevents the pavers from sinking. It is a good idea to place retaining pavers along the sides of the road to prevent the base course from shifting.
The fifth step is to place a layer of sand or gravel on top of the crushed stone to give the pavers more fixation.
The sixth step is to start placing the pavers in the already prepared space, placing them within the marked limits. It is important that as you place the pavers you press down to fix them well.
The seventh step is to place fine-grained dry sand all over the cobblestone path so that the joints are filled and a more neat finish is left. Finally, sand sealant must be applied to finish installing them perfectly.
SUGGESTIONS FOR INSTALLING PAVING STONES IN YOUR GARDENIt is very important that the ground where we are going to place the pavers is perfectly clean of weeds and plants that can change our path over time. It is also important to take into account the design of our path in advance as this allows us to plan in advance the structure of the path, the amount of pavers that we are going to need, the shape of the pavers that we need and the material that the pavers should be. You should also look for the necessary tools for the placement of the path and leave them within reach of your hands for when you need them.
