How does the “Interlocking” system works?
Concrete Pavers are placed over a leveling course which is over a compacted aggregate base. The thickness of the base will vary depending on the purpose of the application. The Pavers are retained at the outside perimeter of the project using edge restraints. Edge restraints such as reinforced concrete are recommended. Once the Pavers are placed and restrained, the interlocking process may begin. Joint sand is swept into the joints and over the Pavers. The Pavers are compacted and may take 1 or 2 passes before the full interlock can be achieved. After compaction, the project is ready for use. Sweeping and cleaning of the area will be necessary.
