Residential Paving Installation18

Adbri Masonry Pavers can be laid by two methods; Rigid Installation (with a concrete basecourse) or FlexibleInstallation (a granular basecourse). Properly constructed rigid pavements can be more stable where soil conditions are poor, (e.g. reactive or poorly drained clay).

Drainage is most important for a successful paving project. Care must be taken to grade the basecourse and the finished pavement level at a minimum gradient of 2% (or 100mm per 5.0 lineal metres). Refer to the CMAA's MA44 document for further drainage details.

The laying of pavers on a sand bed on a concrete slab is not addressed in this brochure. It can be done, butefflorescence staining can occur on pavers laid in this manner if there is inadequate drainage of the concrete slab.

For further information please refer to: Adbri Masonry Paving Installation Guide at www.adbrimasonry.com.au and ConcreteMasonry Association of Australia (CMAA) Guidelines at www.cmaa.com.au:- T45 Concrete Segmental Pavements -Design Guide for Residential Accessways and Roads, MA44 Concrete Flag Pavements - Design and Construction Guide.

Note: The following is a guide only and in no way replaces the services of a professional design consultant.

Flexible InstallationStep 1. Excavation: Excavate your area to allow for a granular*basecourse, (75mm for pedestrian traffic and 100mm for drivewaysafter compaction), plus 20-25mm of washed coarse bedding sandplus the thickness of the paver. Note: Pavers for driveways shouldbe at least 50mm thick.

*Class A road-base or 20mm graded crushed rock are suitable materials.

Step 2. Compact the Basecourse: Place the granular basecourse to the desired depth and compact using a vibratingplate machine. Ensure your basecourse is firm and of uniformthickness. If the area needs to be built up then do so in compacted75mm layers. Up to 5% of cement can be blended in to the granularbasecourse for more stability if required.

Step 3. Bedding Course: Spread clean coarse bedding sand over the compacted basecourse to a depth of 25 - 35mm andscreed to a flat even surface.

Step 4. Lay the Pavers: Begin laying pavers from one corner,utilising a string line to keep the lines straight. Don't walk on thesand, walk on the pavers already laid.

Step 5. Edging: Edge restraints are essential to prevent lateralmovement of the paved area and must be installed prior to theapplication of the jointing sand. Refer to the Edging section for details.

Step 6. Joints: Adbri Masonry pavers in this application shouldbe laid with a 3 - 4mm gap. Fill this joint with a fine washed sand or specialised jointing sand as the paving proceeds. This will minimise movement in the pavers when compacting.

Step 7. Final Compaction: To compact the pavers place a flatheavy board across the pavers and hit with a rubber mallet. For pavers of 50mm depth or greater, a vibrating plate machineshould be used for the best results (more jointing sand should beadded as pavers are compacted). It is recommended a piece of carpet be placed under the plate to protect the pavers from chipping.

Flexible Installation

Rigid Installation (recommended for all Atenstone® installations)Step 1. Excavation: Excavate your area to allow for a 75mmthick, (or 100mm for a driveway) concrete slab, (rough screeded20MPa grade with SL62 reinforcement at mid-depth and contractionjoints at 3 metre centres), plus 15-25mm of mortar plus the thickness of the paver.

Note: Pavers for driveways should be at least 50mm thick. Theconcrete should be wet cured for at least 7 days before laying.

Step 2. Apply the Bond Coat: Prepare a cement slurry by mixing 6 parts fine washed sand to 1 part cement. Apply a thin coat (about 1mm) to the working area of the slab with a broom andto the underside of each Adbri Masonry paver just prior to laying.

Step 3. Lay the Pavers: Using a string line to keep the linesstraight, lay the pavers on a wet mortar bed of 15-25mm thickness.Mortar should be mixed at a ratio of 3 parts washed concretesand to 1 part cement. Do not make the mortar too wet. The mortarshould be stiff enough to make a fist sized ball which holds itsshape. Pavers should be laid to form a smooth finished surface by using a level and lightly tapping with a rubber mallet.

Note: Do not add extra water to retemper any stiffening mortar.Make a fresh batch instead; enough to last 30 - 45 minutes laying.

Step 4. Joints: Adbri Masonry pavers can be laid butt-jointed, howevera fine washed sand or specialised pavement sand is recommendedto fill any small gaps. For wider joints, (e.g. >4mm) a non-shrinkgrout may be used, but be careful not to smear any on the pavers. If any does get on wash off quickly with water and a clean sponge.

Notes: Do not bridge pavers over the contraction joints in the concrete. Pavers must be cut and the joints filled with a flexiblecompound as per Engineers specifications. If any mortar is spilledon the pavers during installation remove immediately using a cleansponge and water. Do not traffic finished pavement for 72 hours.

Rigid Installation

Calculate Pavers NeededThe quantity of pavers needed will depend on the area to be paved, and the paver chosen.

Work out the area to be paved in squaremetres. Length(m) x width(m) = area(m2)

For rectangular areas:

eg. 3m x 5m = 15m2

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

eg. 1/2 x 3m x 4m = 6m2

For odd shaped areas: break into sections.Area 1: 4m x 3m = 12m2

Area 2: 6m x 3m = 18m2

Area 3: 1/2m x 6m x 2m = 6m2

Total area to be paved = 36m2

Notes:• For those who calculate using feet

and inches calculate the total area intosquare feet by using the same methodas above and then multiply by .0929to convert to square metres

• When calculating pavers needed addan additional 3-5%. Allowing for complexity of the design, cuts andbreaks.

Paver CuttingYou will generally find that some cutting of pavers will be required to fit into specificareas. An angle grinder with a masonry blade is suitable for good results. On jobs wherea high number of cuts are required or the paving units are large, it is easier to hire a bricksaw with a diamond blade - remember ear muffs, eye protection and a mask.

EdgingIt is important to have a good edge restraint to stop the pavers from spreading and toensure that the bedding sand is not washed away. Here are two general techniques.

By embedding a paver

on edge in concrete

By embedding the outside paver

in concrete to approximately half

the height of the paver and back

filling with suitable garden material

Swimming Pools• Adbri Masonry pavers meet Australian slip resistant standards, making them ideal

for swimming pool surrounds.• Adbri Masonry pavers while being strong and durable have a soft feel, making them

comfortable under bare feet or for sitting along pool edges.• Adbri Masonry manufacture some pavers specifically for salt resistant applications,

necessary for around salt chlorinated swimming pools. This range varies between States so please consult your local Adbri Masonry distributor or Adbri Masonryproduct guide for specific localised advice.

• For added protection Adbri Masonry recommend sealing pavers likely to be subjected to salt attack.

MaintenancePavers will require some ongoing maintenance to keep looking in a pristine condition.Dirt and dust should regularly be removed whilst any weed growth should be sprayedand controlled. Ants should not be allowed to nest in base materials.

CleaningAll pavers will require cleaning from time to time. Oil, rust, efflorescence and other stains can detract from the appearance of the paver. Proprietary cleaning products for concrete pavers (and retaining walls) are readily available. Please contact your local distributor or Adbri Masonry for further information. Do not use Hydrochloric Acid.

SealingIf a more protective surface is required then Adbri Masonry suggest you seal your paving. There are a number of sealers specifically for concrete paving so please contact your local distributor or Adbri Masonry for further information.

Note: All coloured product should be ordered at the one time to reduce the risk of batch variation. No claims will be accepted once product has been installed.

Curved RadiusMinimum radius for inside curve is 435mm and 615mm for outside curves. As Miniwall®units can produce a tight radius, cumbersome corner units are not required - simply round the corner off. Half units, if required, can be split or cut from full units using a masonry cutter.

Hint: 21 units form a circle.

Maximum HeightsThe Miniwall® system is suitable for walls up to 500mm high (4 courses) where there isno surcharge loading. A surcharge loading applies when:• A wall is supporting a driveway or other load• There is greater than 3:1 slope above the wall• Another retaining wall above the wall which is less in distance behind the wall than

double the height of the lower wall.

Solid Wall Semi Solid WallLarger faces on alternative sides Larger faces on visible side

Laying InstructionsStep 1Dig a shallow trench, level and place 100mm of crushed rock in the bottom and compact.

Step 2Spread and level 25mm of coarse sand as a bedding layer. Place the first layer of Miniwall®units onto the sand and tap into place with a mallet. A stringline is essential for buildingstraight walls. Ensure that each unit is level from front to back and side to side.

Step 3Stack Miniwall® units along the length of the wall to a maximum of 3 rows, ensuring thateach row is offset to the one below. If the wall is acting as a small retainer, install 90mmagricultural pipe at the rear of the wall for drainage and fill 200mm behind the wall withdrainage material.

Step 4 Before applying Minicap™ units, place some construction adhesive either side of the interlockingmodules on the Miniwall®units. Position the Minicap™ units and press firmly into position.

Freestanding WallsAs Miniwall® units are stacked vertically and both the front and back of each unit is finishedwith an attractive split stone texture, both sides of the wall may be left exposed. In this situation it is recommended that construction adhesive be used between the upper courses of the wall.

S-CurvesTo build a solid wall which changes from an inside curve to an outside curve, a half unitwill be required every second course. Use a Minicap™ unit and perform the cut witheither ºa masonry saw or splitter.Outside Curve

Inside Curve


The Wallstone® system has many of the features of other systems but with the added advantage of choice between a vertical wall or a setback wall. The Wallstone® system gives a contemporary feel to an extremely flexible system, encompassing straight walls, convex or concave curves, right angle corners and formal stairs in 150mm step heights.

The radius of convex walls can be as little as 2400mm and concave walls 2100mm, while the standard and tapered units can be mixed to achieve appealing designs. Pins, clips or mortar are not required. A compacted gravel-leveling pad is sufficient in all Wallstone® applications.

Laying InstructionsStep 1Dig a shallow trench, level and place 100mm of crushed rock in the bottom. Level and compact. Allow for 75mm embedment of the bottom course and 300mm behind the wall for drainage.

Step 2Spread and level approximately 25mm of coarse sand as a bedding layer then place the first course of Wallstone® units. Use a stringlinefor creating a straight line, and level from side to side and front to back. Install a 90mm Agricultural Pipe (on grade) at the rear of thewall for drainage.

Step 3Fill behind each course with granular rock for drainage and carefully compact. Check each course is level before proceeding and stackeach additional row offsetting from the block below.

Step 4On the last course of stacking units, place a line of adhesive front and back and place the capping unit. Apply pressure to secure anduse a stringline and level for the best result.

Notes: • Slope the soil above and below the wall to ensure that water will flow away from and not accumulate near the wall• It is advisable to place a dob of adhesive between corner units• If a vertical wall is required then follow the same instructions but remove the narrow section at the top of each unit using a bolster chisel.

Colour Chart - Allan Block™Oatmeal™ Bondi Blend® Sunstone™ Charcoal

Installation Guide - Allan Block™ AB Installation SummaryStep 1Excavate base trench at wall location and install Base Material (a well graded compactable aggregate 5mm to 20mm diameter). Base Trench is typically 600mm wide by 100mm deep plus 25mm in depth for every 300mm of wall height. Begin excavation at the lowest point and dig a level trench into the slope until it is deep enough to accommodate 100mm Base Material and the recommendeddepth of embedment.

Step 2Install base material and rake smooth and compact, check the entire length for level and adjust as needed.

Step 3Install basecourse starting at the lowest point. Place the first row of Allan Block™ unit on the base material with the raised front lip facing up and forward to the front of the wall. Check and adjust the level and alignment of all blocks with a stringline across the back of theblocks or the back of the lips. Make minor adjustments by tapping the block with a rubber mallet. Irregularities in the base coursebecome larger as the wall stacks up!

Step 4Install an Agricultural Pipe at the bottom rear of the drainage field with appropriate fall to designated drainage point. Fill Allan Block™hollow cores and the minimum 300mm behind the wall with drainage material (not crushed rock or material containing ‘fines’). Using onsite soils, backfill behind drainage zone and in front of the base course.

Step 5Brush off excess drainage material from top of blocks. Stack the next row of blocks with the vertical joints offset from the joints below.Blocks may be adjusted to form straight lines and smooth curves. Check it is level and adjust as needed before installing drainage andbackfill materials as in Step 4.

Step 6Using a vibrating plate compactor, compact over the top of the blocks running parallel to the wall. This will lock the blocks into position. Avoid hitting the front lip, as this will knock the blocks out of alignment. Next, compact the drainage and then the backfillarea, always running parallel to the wall.

Step 7Install additional courses by repeating steps 5 and 6. Each lift of drainage and backfill materials should be installed in the same manner,compact in lifts of 200mm (every course).

For walls that exceed the maximum heights in the table opposite please consult an engineer and check with your localCouncil for requirements.
