Paver shape

Paver size^

Step 2: Use the table above to find the paver that is recommended for your particular need.

Step 3 Measure your area to be paved to determine quantity of pavers required. This area is simply calculated by length (m) x width (m) = area (m2) for basic square or rectangular spaces (m= metres).

For odd shapes, break your area into sections.

1) 5m x 3m = 15m2

2) 4m x 2m = 8m2

3) 3m x 4m = 12m2

Total = 35m2

For triangular areas: 1/2 x base (m) x height (m) = area (m2)

e.g. 1/2 x 4m x 3m = 6m2

(Allow up to 10% extra pavers for wastage such as cuts and breakages.)

You can also measure your area using our on-line calculator.Go to www.boral.com.au/pavingcalc

^ Small pavers are less than 300mm x 300mm. Large pavers are larger than or equal to 300mm x 300mm.

Step 4 Select the paver size you prefer. Large format pavers are

larger than or equal to 300mm (length) x 300mm (w idth)

and small format pavers are less than 300 x 300mm.

Your choice will depend on the look you wish to achieve

as per Step 1.

(Bullnose pavers have a rounded edge along one face of

the paver, making them ideal for steps and pool edges.)

Step 5 Select a colour that complements your area, home

and surroundings.

Step 6 Choose to D.I.Y. or hire a professional contractor. Refer to page 18 for a basic

guide to laying pavers. A more comprehensive “Boral Guide to Laying Pavers” is

available at www.boral.com.au/landscaping. To locate your nearest store simply

visit www.boral.com.au/storelocator.

general tips

Tip 1 Select pavers that match internal floor coverings to ensure the transition from indoor out is subtle and blends with your decorating style.

Tip 2 If paving around pools or building stairs, choose a range that includes a bullnose, like Aspenstone® or Stoneworks™ Travertine, to create a smooth finish.

Tip 3 Combining large and small format pavers can add textural qualities for a more distinctive space.

Tip 4 Geo-Fix™ paving joint mortar saves time, effort and water and is ideal for applying a permanent, rigid joint more than 5mm wide and a minimum 25mm deep on all types of paving.

Tip 5 When paving a small space keep the design simple and use a neutral coloured, large format paver to create a sense of space.

Tip 6 Boral recommends that pavers be sealed with a quality penetrating sealer following installation.

Tip 7 Large format pavers, such as Aspenstone® and Stoneworks™ Travertine, speed up the laying process and their consistent size makes measuring easy.

basicguidetolayingpavers1802 add the bedding sand01 prepare the site 03 level the surfacePlace screed rails on road base and spread bedding sand roughly between and over the rails – keep the rails. The easiest way to screed sand is to use two guides (screed rails) and a screeding board (e.g. a flat piece of timber). Establish bedding tracks with the screeding board.

Excavate the area to be paved to allow for the base layer (generally 100 -150mm thick of road base), bedding sand (generally 30mm thick coarse washed river sand) and the paver thickness. Establish falls and level using a spirit level on the screed board. Spread the road base to an even thickness and compact using a mechanical plate compactor.

Bed the screed rails into the bedding sand. Drag the screeding board in a sawing motion from side to side across the rails to create a firm, flat laying surface. Remove the rails, fill in the voids with bedding sand and trowel smooth.

Start laying along the longest straight edge of the designated area and lay whole pavers first. Leave 3-5mm between pavers to allow for jointing sand (unless the pavers have nibs).

Set string lines at right angles to establish paving lines. These will help keep the joints straight for that truly professional look.

Cut and position part-pavers if the job requires them. Edge restraints prevent the pavers from moving.

Sand filled joints: a) Pavers 50mm thick or greater – surface to be plate compacted.

Always remember to use a rubber mat or carpet beneath the plate compactor to prevent damage to the pavers.

b) Pavers 40mm thick or less – surface to be hand compacted

with a rubber mallet Geo-Fix™ mortar: – surface to be hand compacted

prior to Geo-Fix™ application.

Sweep jointing sand over the finished dry paving, ensuring that all joints are full. As an alternative, use Geo-Fix™, a ready to use joint mortar. Go to page 34 for more details.

Caring for your pavers

prevention is better than cure

• Sweep regularly with a stiff bristled broom to keep pavers

free from debris.

• For maximum protection we suggest pavers are sealed

after installation with a penetrating sealer. Please check

with a reputable sealing company for advice.

• Seal pavers with a penetrating sealer before grouting to

avoid grout smears.

• Re-seal pavers as required paying extra attention to heavy

wear areas and salt-water locations.

• During construction, cover the paved areas to protect

against damage and staining from clam, mortar, oxides,

cement, rust and leaves.

• Do not use acid to clean pavers.

• Do not use high pressure cleaning apparatus to

clean pavers.

• In all cases, attempt to clean a stain before it hardens

or dries.

If a stain occurs, follow some simple steps:

• Assess type of stain carefully before taking action

(incorrect assessment of stain can cause the stain to be

more difficult to remove).

• If stain cannot be accurately assessed, conduct a trial

process on a small portion of stained area to determine

most appropriate action.

• Do not use acid to remove stains under any

circumstances.

Refer to the guide beside for some stain removal solutions.

* Efflorescence occurs naturally in cement based products.^ Subject to water restrictions in your area.

PROBLEM SUGGESTED CLEANING METHOD

Efflorescence* (White powdery deposit)

Brush first with a stiff bristled broom. Then hose^

with clean water. Weathering will eventually stop this process from occurring.

Leaves, bark, algae, food and wine stains

Use 5 part water to 1 part pool chlorine, then wash^ down.

Chewing gum Freeze with dry ice and remove with a spatula.

Ivy suckers Apply a heat gun to the suckers until they go hard. Allow them to cool and dry, then scrub them off with a stiff bristled broom.

Step 1 Gather ideas on the look you want to achieve.

Look through this brochure and also obtain a free copy

of the latest Boral Outdoor Design Guide.

Step 2: Use the table above to determine which retaining wall

is most suitable for your particular application.

1. Determine the height you want to achieve.

2. Determine which design you want

– do you want curves, corners or a straight wall?

Step 3 Select a colour that complements your area, home and

surroundings such as other homes in your street.

Step 4 Choose to D.I.Y. or hire a contractor. Refer to page 32

for tips on installing a retaining wall.

general tips

Tip 1 Save time and effort by selecting a

DIY retaining wall system with pre-cut

corner pieces and a smooth top – no

need for capping – such as Arena® Wall.

Tip 2 To create an outdoor room

environment, use low-level retaining

walls to build structure around paving –

and it doubles as extra seating.

Tip 3 If you’re constructing a double-sided

decorative retaining wall, select a

range with a double-sided design such

as Hadrian Wall® or Country Manor®.

Tip 4 When creating a new space with

retaining walls and paving, use

contrasting colours and textures to

give your home a stylish edge.

22

* Maximum wall heights in good soils (gravels, sandy gravels, crushed sandstone).

** Keystone® can be built up to 12m high when designed by a suitably qualified engineer and combined with soil reinforcement. Please contact your Boral representative for more information.

^ Country manor® can be built up to 4m high when combined with geogrid®. Please contact your Boral representative for more information.

‡ Please consult with regulating council for local design requirements prior to the construction of any retaining wall. Councils in general require that retaining walls be designed and certified by a suitably qualified engineer where the wall is over 0.5m in height and/or where there is a surcharge loading, such as a driveway, house or other structure near the wall.

02 prepare the site01 locate your wall 03 backfill and compactPlace blocks side by side on the levelling pad using a string line along the back of the units for alignment. Level each unit side to side and front to back using your spirit level. Spend time making sure the first course of units is level, otherwise all ensuing courses and ultimately the entire wall will not be level.

Mark out the ground where your wall will be located (either by marking with stakes and a string line or by marking a line on the ground with spray paint). Excavate trench then compact roadbase into trench to form a levelling pad. Go to www.boral.com.au/wallcalc t o calculate how many blocks you require.

Install an agricultural drain 150mm diameter behind your first course and surround with gravel (12-20mm sized gravel, e.g. blue metal). Shovel and compact your backfill (existing site soil) behind the drainage material. (Backfill consisting of heavy clays or organic soils is not recommended due to water holding properties).

Place capping units, if required, on the top course. It is recommended that caps be secured using a construction adhesive such as liquid nails®. Some capping may require the removal of nibs from the top course of blocks.

Sweep the top of the previous course clean. Place the next course of units in a running bond pattern (i.e. with the vertical joints from the first course units halfway across the second course units). Pull each unit forward until it locks with the nib on the unit below. Place the drainage material behind the second course of units. Stack units, placing drainage material and compact backfill for each block height layer until your wall is complete.
