HOW WE INSTALL MOST PAVING
​
STEP 1.
Remove existing grass usually using a turf cutter, or digger.
​
STEP 2.
Edge the area where required. All sorts of edging can be used, such as sleepers, concrete, slabs and timber.
​
STEP 3.
Dig out area to required depth of approximately 30cm depending on ground conditions. This will include our base material and full bed of mortar.
​
STEP 4.
Lay the sub base, usually scalping and compact thoroughly.
​
STEP 5.
Lay slabs using a full bed of concrete. Some slabs will need specific additives, which the Green Roots team can advise.
​
STEP 6.
Point the slabs, if required. Natural pointing looks great with natural stone materials and some do not require any.
​
STEP 7.
Let the paving settle and an optional treatment of sealer is advised to protect the surface.
