Step 1: Planning
Start with a good, level measure and draw a diagram of the area, noting any existing structures
such as buildings, fences, and other paved areas.
Step 2: Preparing
Contact your local utility companies before you begin excavation. Stake out an area approximately
12" larger than the area to be covered. Plan to slope the blocks away from the buildings in the
direction of normal drainage.
Step 3: Excavating
For areas limited to pedestrian traffic, a base of 4" - 6" of processed gravel is recommended -
excavate 7" - 9" to allow for base material. For vehicular traffic, a base of 6" - 8" of processed
gravel is recommended - excavate 9" - 11" deep.
Step 4: Installing the Base
After installation of site-specific geotextile fabric,
compact the surface of the excavated soil. Then, fill the area with 3/4" minus crushed stone or aggregate approximately 5" thick.
Compact this
with the plate compactor. Continue to add gravel in layers until the base is approximately 3" - 3-1/2"
from the desired level of the finished grade. The slope should be 1/8" per foot. Install a level
line across the area. On the stake that is at the end, you want to slope towards, move the line down
1/8" for every foot. The distance from the line to the base should be equal along the line.
Step 5: Edge Restraints (Optional)
UltraLok blocks have an interlocking connection which make the edge restraints optional.
Step 6: Cutting
Measure and mark the block. Then cut with an abrasive blade or hammer and chisel.
Step 7: Compacting and Settling
Sweep the surface to remove any debris. Spread two inches of top soil and/or crushed stone into the
joints. The soil can then be seeded to reinforce the area and create vegetation for an eco-friendly
site. You now have completed your project, and the end result is an environmentally strong, value-added
and visually pleasing site. |
