Sub-base? • In my
opinion, a sub-base is unnecessary, unless you have expansive soil – Palos Verdes & the “soils area” in Torrance – Or you are installing a driveway – Follow the directions for specific products – Ask the seller of the product © 2017 Project SOUND 33
34.
Levelling/Subbase materials Levelling: • DG
(decomposed granite). Bulk only. Compacts better than sand. • Sand, plaster. Comes in bags or bulk. Subbase: • “Pre-mix” is a mixture of sand and gravel. Bulk, only. Use as the subbase for expansive soil. Can be rolled or vibrated. • ¾” crushed gravel. Bags & bulk. Needed for driveways. Excellent drainage. Needs to be vibrated. © 2017 Project SOUND 34
35.
Rolling/compacting/vibrating/jumping • Roller, sod.
Rent $10/day • Compacter/tamper. Rent, buy or make. Rent $7/day. • Vibratory plate compactor. Rent. $72/day. • Jumping Jack. Rent $90/day. Only use to compact very deep, loose soil. Very dangerous. © 2017 Project SOUND 35
36.
Installation • Weed mat?
No, thanks. © 2017 Project SOUND 36
37.
Prepping the area •
At what height do you want the walkway or patio? • An inch or 2 above the planter beds? • A “step” down from the door? Use <1” or 4 - 7½” (code). 1-4” is a tripping hazard. • Make sure that you are not covering a drip edge. As per code, grade must be at least 4” below. © 2017 Project SOUND 37
38.
CA drainage code Project
SOUND 2016 © 38
39.
Drainage • Make sure
that you have “positive drainage” away from your foundation. • Code: 1” of fall (rise) over 4’ around the foundation. That’s 2% (1:48)≈(1:50)=(2:100). 48” Masonry level ≈ $50-75 © 2017 Project SOUND 39
40.
Drainage • Finished concrete
1 – 2% (½ - 1:48) • Permeable surfaces 3 – 4% (2:48) • ADA ramp 8% (1:12 or 4:48) • Don’t forget the side to side drainage © 2017 Project SOUND 40
41.
Tools of the
trade • 48” Masonry level • Masonry line • Stakes • Mallet (deadblow or rubber) • Trowel, brick • Sod roller • Tamper © 2017 Project SOUND 41
42.
Excavating tools • Mattock/pick •
Shovel • Wheelbarrow • Grading rake • Push broom • Hose with nozzle © 2017 Project SOUND 42
43.
Prepping the area
for gravel • Gravel and Mexican Beach pebbles are easy – You’ll want 3-4” in depth – Do you need to dig out (lower) the native soil? – Does it need to be compacted? (Probably not.) – Is there sufficient drainage/fall of the native soil? – Buy gravel or beach pebbles. – Dump them. Rake. Done! © 2017 Project SOUND 43 Size of Beach Pebbles Coverage (square feet/ 75 lbs. bag) ½” – 1” 12 1” – 2” 7 2” – 3” 4 3” – 5” 3
44.
The problem • After
several years: • Easy solution: buy more and “top dress” • Hard solution: remove all the rock, clean & put them back. © 2017 Project SOUND 44
45.
Installing steppers • Rectangular
steppers © 2017 Project SOUND 45
46.
Installing steppers • Concrete
or cut stone – Remove enough soil to finish at the desired height – Rake out 2” of DG (decomposed granite). Roll or vibrate. – If using rectangular pieces, in a line, set-up masonry line (not string). © 2017 Project SOUND 46
47.
Installing steppers • Rectangular
steppers © 2017 Project SOUND 47

Building the Path ©
2017 Project SOUND 48
49.
Check square Check the
diagonals and/or check 3-4-5 © 2017 Project SOUND 49
50.
Installing steppers, continued –
Calculate your spacing. Walk it to make sure it “feels right”. Approx. 30 – 36” – Start laying out the steppers. – Confirm that the edge is barely touching the line. – Check side to side level (1 – 2% fall). – Not “level”, tip it up, use a trough to add more DG. – A tiny bit too high? Whack it with a rubber mallet or dead blow hammer. © 2017 Project SOUND 50
51.
Working with natural
stone? • Brick hammer/chisel • 4½” angle grinder with a diamond blade • 2x4” piece of lumber • Sledgehammer – For very large pieces of rock that you want to break in half, lay it over the 2x4”, approx. where you want it to break, lightly hammer it above the 2x4” until it breaks. © 2017 Project SOUND 51
52.
Back to the
flagstone path • Everything is the same, but • Put the masonry string down the middle or off center, or • Use a long, straight 2x4” to confirm that the tops of the flagstones are all in the same plain. • Use your 4’ level to double check stone to stone “levelness.” © 2017 Project SOUND 52

Common problems (downfalls) •
Use DG, not sand • Check level • No more than 2 (or 3) materials • Use flagstone that is at least 2” thick & 2 square feet each • “Work the puzzle” © 2017 Project SOUND 55
56.
© 2017 Project
SOUND 56
57.
Use flagstones of
comparable sizes © 2017 Project SOUND 57

the puzzle” © 2017 Project SOUND 58
59.
Flagstone patios Break-up the “grout”
lines. Make “T”s. © 2017 Project SOUND 59
60.
Brick/paver walkways and
patios • Decide on a pattern • Decide the type of brick © 2017 Project SOUND 60
61.
Bricks need borders •
Plastic Bend-a-Board • Plastic or metal brick edging • Mortared brick border © 2017 Project SOUND 61
62.
Brick/paver walkway and
patio • Prepare the native soil to the right height • Confirm positive drainage • Set the borders first • 2” DG • Roll the DG • Start setting bricks/pavers • Check “level” often • If there are gaps, fill with DG, silica sand or polymeric sand (not permeable). © 2017 Project SOUND 62
63.
Types of pavers •
Permeable Pavers © 2017 Project SOUND 63

65.
Final steps Tried and
True Steps – done by every professional • Bricks and brick-sized pavers can be vibrated. • Water, water, water. • Sit back and admire your work. • Next day: check for “dancing flagstone.” Tilt up and add more DG. • More water. • Ice tea or beer. • Sit back and admire your work some more. © 2017 Project SOUND 65
66.
Care and Maintenance For
loose lay: • Settling may occur – Tilt the rock/paver, add a little bit more DG • “Grout” may settle or wash away – Add more DG • Border may move (shrink, lift, sink) – Reset or add more DG © 2017 Project SOUND 66
67.
Care and Maintenance If
it looks too dirty: • Power washing will remove any dirt • Bleach (1:1 with water in a spray bottle) will remove any algae © 2017 Project SOUND 67
68.
Care and Maintenance Weeds •
Mechanical – Hand pull – Weed knife • Chemical – Boiling water – Baking soda 2-4 times a year – Round-up (Glyphosate is relatively benign) – Vinegar + soap + salt in spray bottle • One gallon of vinegar • Add 1 Tablespoon of dish soap • Add 1 Tablespoon of salt © 2017 Project SOUND 68
