How to Lay Block Paving

  1. Dig out at least 150mm below the damp proof course of your home (or wherever the paving is being laid) – and incorporate a slope where the land is flat to allow surface water to run off
  2. Put in your edge restraints – kerbs or edging stones
  3. Apply a sub base – this should be at least 10mm, whacked/compacted down a few times
  4. Apply a layer of damp concrete sand and screed it to a finished level
  5. Lay your block paving in desired design
  6. Sweep brown paver sand into the block joints, making sure every joint is filled
