35 PAVERS AND SLABS INSTALLATION GUIDE TOOLS EXCAVATION Broom Shovel To begin, mark out the area to be excavated with stakes and string. You can indicate various key points on the ground with an aerosol marker. Extend the surface line by 6 inches (150 mm) on all sides. The curbs will be laid in the excess area. Determine the level of your patio. You must provide a drainage slope away from the house of ¼ inch (6.5 mm) per foot. If your project measures 10 feet (3 m), you will have a slope of 2 ½ inches (63.5 mm). Dig a minimum of 12 inches (300 mm) deep. Check along several points that the foundation is at the same depth. Cover the bottom and sides of the excavated area with a geotextile membrane. The geotextile will prevent the foundation from mixing into the natural soil. It will also provide greater stability. FOUNDATION Spread 10 inches (254 mm) of 0-¾ (0-20 mm) crushed stone. Level it with a rake. To facilitate compaction, you can hose down the surface. Use the mechanical tamper or vibrating plate to compact the entire surface. Overlap the strokes of the tamper. To check that the foundation depth is uniform, use the stakes and attach a string. Stretch the string tight and, maintaining the drainage slope, check along several points to make sure that the entire foundation is at the same depth. Spread the stone dust between the pipes. Level it with a rake fi rst and then with the aid of a straight board. Move the pipes and repeat the operation until the entire surface is done. Do not walk on the stone bedding. Gaps are created when you move the pipes. These will be fi lled in a later stage during the installation of pavers and slabs. INSTALLATION Polymeric sand Foundation stone (0-3/4 ) Gloves Stone dust Stakes Rake Safety glasses String Plastic curb Line level Pull a string to align the modules in the fi rst row. Place the fi rst slabs or pavers on the bedding. Continue work by walking on the modules. Never walk on the bedding. Walk on the slabs or pavers and fi ll in the gaps left by the pipes. Check the alignment of pavers or slabs after 5 rows and adjust them as needed with a screwdriver. If you need to cut pavers or slabs, use a concrete saw from a rental centre. This will give you a straight cut. We strongly recommend that you wear safety glasses when cutting pavers or slabs. When cutting, keep a distance from the pavers or slabs already installed because dust and dirt will irreversibly stain the modules already in place. For pavers only: you can use a cold chisel and a small sledgehammer. Draw a line on the paver. Strike along the line. Finish the cut by striking fi rmly on the visible face of the paver. Installing the curbs: If you install concrete curbs, you must install them directly on the same bedding as your slabs and pavers. If you are installing plastic paving edges, you must install them directly on the same bedding as pavers or slabs. Insert nails every 8 inches. FINISHING For slabs: When you have completed laying the slabs, spread polymeric sand and sweep it in all directions to fi ll in the joints. You should never use the vibrating plate on the slabs. For pavers: Spread sand and stabilize the pavers with a vibrating plate. This will set the pavers into their bedding and level the surface. Sweep away any excess sand. To easily remove surface sand from pavers and slabs, use a leaf blower. Before watering, make sure that no sand remains on the surface. Gently spray a fi ne mist of water for seconds on a portion of the paving surface. Wait 3-4 minutes. Spray again until no more water soaks into the paver joint. Stop after two repetitions. We strongly suggest that you read the complete procedures described on the polymeric sand bags. Visit our website at PERMACON.CA to watch the pavers and slabs installation video.

36 WALLS INSTALLATION GUIDE EXCAVATION To begin, mark out the area to be excavated with stakes and string. You can indicate various key points on the ground with an aerosol marker. Determine the level of your wall from the lowest point. Dig a trench at least 12 inches (300 mm) deep by 24 inches (600 mm) wide. To check that the depth of the trench is uniform, use the stakes and attach a string in a level manner. Stretch the string tight and with a line level, check along several points to make sure that the whole trench is at the same depth. FOUNDATION Fill the trench with 10 inches (254 mm) of 0-¾ crushed stone (20-0 mm). Level it with a rake. To facilitate compaction, you can hose down the surface. Use the mechanical tamper to compact the entire surface. Overlap the strokes of the tamper. To check that the foundation is uniform, attach a string in a level manner. Stretch the string tight and, with a line level, check along several points to make sure that the whole foundation is at the same depth. INSTALLATION Spread ½ inch (12.7 mm) of stone dust on top of the compacted foundation. Check the fi nal level with a spirit level. For the fi rst row only, if necessary, remove the lip on the rear of the block with a small sledgehammer. Remove the lip on the rear for these types of blocks: Chiseled wall, Border wall. This step will assist in leveling the blocks. Prepare a number of blocks in advance. We strongly recommend that you wear safety glasses for this step. Pull a string to align the blocks in the fi rst row. Install the fi rst row of blocks, starting with a corner. Check levels in both directions, from front to rear and left to right. Remove or add stone dust to adjust the level. You can also adjust the level by lightly tapping the surface of the block with a small sledgehammer. Check the level from block to block. 36 Lowes_Cat2018_QC_ENG.indd :55

37 TOOLS INSTALLATION (CONTINUED) To start the second row, cut a block in half to make a half block. Draw a line around the block. Strike that line. Finish the cut by striking fi rmly on the visible face of the block. You can also make the cut with a concrete saw. Shovel Stone dust Rake We strongly recommend that you wear safety glasses for this step. Next, install a second and third row of blocks, making sure that the rear lip, if there is one, rests fi rmly on the block on the row underneath. If the block has no rear lip, you should position the block by aligning the front faces. Alternate the position of the blocks to off-set the joints. Check that the blocks are leveled. Never install blocks in a column. You must always overlap the joints. To ensure that the wall is solid, you can glue each block with concrete adhesive. When the wall is completed, install a perforated drainage pipe behind the wall and connect it to the existing drainage system. Fill the space behind the wall with ¾ inch (20 mm) clean stone. Install a geotextile. This will prevent garden soil from contaminating the clean stone. The back of the wall can now be fi lled with dirt or top soil. Gloves Stakes Safety glasses Drainage stone (3/4 ) String Foundation stone (0-3/4 ) FINISHING For certain types of walls, capping is necessary. If this is the case, all capping modules must be glued with concrete adhesive. Fold the geotextile under the front of the last row. Slide the capping module forwards so that it overhangs from the face of the wall by about 1 inch (25.4 mm).

38 CALCULATE YOUR PROJECT CALCULATING WALLS 1. Estimate the number of courses of block in your finished wall. For walls under 24 in. high, bury half of the first course. For walls over 24 in. high, bury the first full course. Number of layers of blocks = desired wall height block height 2. Determine number of blocks needed by multiplying the total number of blocks per course times the number of courses. Length of wall in inches x height of wall in inches = total sq. inches Total sq. inches divided by 144 = sq. feet of wall 3. Determine the total cubic feet of paver base needed by multiplying the number of linear feet of wall times.2 cubic foot. This will give you a 2 in. deep base, 16 in. wide. Please refer to specific product information for recommended base depth. Total linear feet of wall x.2 cubic foot = total cubic feet of paver base needed (1 cubic foot = 120 lbs) Example: 10 linear feet of wall x.2 cubic foot = 2 cubic feet of paver base needed 4. Calculate the amount of drainage aggregate that you'll need behind the wall. Total number of blocks x.2 cubic foot = total cubic feet of drainage aggregate needed. This will give you 6 in. of drainage behind the wall. Example: 35 total blocks x.2 cubic foot = 7 cubic feet of drainage needed behind the wall. (1 cubic foot = 120 lbs) PATIOS & WALKWAYS 1. Select a shape for your paving stone project. 2. Plan the dimensions of your finished project, accurate to one inch. 3. Calculate the area (total square feet) of your project. This will determine the total amount of paving stones, base material and paver sand that you will need. Rectangular: L x W = Square feet Example: 12' x 8' = 96 square feet 4. Compute the perimeter. You'll need this so you know how much edging you'll need and also for your border calculation. Rectangular: = linear feet Example: 12' + 8' + 12' + 8' = 40 linear feett 5. Select your paving stone or patio stone product and pattern, then calculate the number of pavers needed using the dimensions provided. 6. Determine the amount of paver base material necessary (min. 4 in. diameter for paths and patios, min. 8 in. diameter for driveways). 7. Calculate the amount of paver sand needed to cover the base and between the joints. Square feet of project x.083 = cubic feet of sand (add approx. 1/2 cu. ft. per 100 sq. ft. of paving stones for joints). 8. Compute the required quantity of edge restraint and edges. 38 Lowes_Cat2018_QC_ENG.indd :56

39 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS IS THE BASE REALLY THAT IMPORTANT? Yes! Just as you wouldn't build a house without a foundation or leveling pad, the base and the buried portion of the blocks is crucial to the integrity of your retaining wall. The base provides a level of support for your wall and the buried portion of the base course prevents the wall from moving, all of which are crucial to the longevity of your wall. WHAT ABOUT LEVELLING? IF IT'S A LITTLE 'OFF' NOBODY IS REALLY GOING TO NOTICE, ARE THEY? One of the key factors to building a long-lasting retaining wall is leveling. More than just making your wall appealing to the eye, levelling maintains the batter (angle of the wall) which provides strength and prevents that wall from tipping forward. Levelling is not as difficult as you may think. If you start with a level base and continue levelling each course as it is installed, building your retaining wall will be much easier. If the wall is left uneven at the base, the error will grow dramatically with each course that is added. It is much easier to make the correction early on, than to try and correct it later. OKAY, SO I'LL LEVEL IT. HOW DO I DO IT RIGHT? To properly level your wall you will need a carpenter's level. Lay the level across your base and check for level both front and back (to keep your retaining wall from tipping backward or forward) and side to side (to make sure your wall is not going uphill or downhill). Start by levelling your base and continue levelling as you lay each course of block. If you find an area that is not leveled, be sure to correct it before adding additional courses. WHAT IS SO IMPORTANT ABOUT THE DRAINAGE AGGREGATE? WHAT IS IT FOR? Water is one of the greatest forces your retaining wall will face. Protect yourself from future disappointments of wall failure by installing your wall properly the first time, which means including the drainage aggregate behind your wall. All retaining walls will encounter the force of water at some point, whether it is from heavy rains or some other unforeseen event. Adding proper drainage will prevent water pressure from building up behind the wall and forcing it to collapse. In addition to building your own wall properly, remember to keep gutter downspouts pointed away from your retaining walls. Retaining walls and water pressure don't mix. By following these key steps, you can build a retaining wall with confidence. Once it's built, you'll enjoy your new landscape for many years. 39 Lowes_Cat2018_QC_ENG.indd :56
