D. Flexible Base: Proof-roll prepared subgrade according to requirements in Speci-
fication 31 20 00 Earth Moving to identify soft pockets and areas of excess yield-
ing. Proceed with unit paver installation only after deficient subgrades have been
corrected and are ready to receive setting bed for unit pavers.
3.3 INSTALLATION GENERAL
A. Do not use unit pavers with chips, cracks, voids, discolorations, and other defects
that might be visible in finished work.
B. Mix pavers from several pallets or cubes, as they are placed, to produce uniform
blend of colors and textures.
C. Cut unit pavers with motor-driven masonry saw equipment to provide clean,
sharp, un-chipped edges. Cut units to provide pattern indicated and to fit adjoin-
ing work neatly. Use full units without cutting where possible. Hammer cutting is
not acceptable. Unit Paver Type C shall be set with joint spacing to not allow for
any longitudinal cuts. End cuts are acceptable to meet running bond pattern. All
cut edges shall be eased for natural look.
D. Tolerances: Do not exceed 1/32-inch unit-to-unit offset from flush (lippage) nor
1/8 inch in 10 feet from level, or indicated slope, for finished surface of paving.
E. Isolation and Control Joints: Where applicable provide control joints in the con-
crete base. Provide Isolation joints around other materials or structures. Refer
to Specification 32 13 12, Section 3.4 Joints.
3.4 SETTING-BED APPLICATIONS
A. Compact soil subgrade uniformly to at least 95 percent of ASTM D 698 laborato-
ry density.
B. Proof-roll prepared subgrade to identify soft pockets and areas of excess yield-
ing. Excavate soft spots, unsatisfactory soils, and areas of excessive pumping or
rutting and replace with compacted backfill.
C. Place pavers on sand leveling course, laid over fully cured concrete base, com-
pact by tamping with plate vibrator, and screed to depth indicated.
D. Where applicable core drill 2” holes in concrete rigid base for drainage as indi-
cated in plans.
E. Place drainage geotextile over drill holes after filling with crushed peastone.
F. Place leveling course and screed to a thickness as indicated on the Plans, taking
care of that moisture content remains constant and density is loose and constant
until pavers are set and compacted.
G. Set pavers with a joint width as indicated on the Plans, being careful not to dis-
turb leveling base. If pavers have spacer bars, place pavers hand tight against
spacer bars. Use string lines to keep straight lines. Fill gaps between units that
exceed 3/8 inch with pieces cut to fit from full-size unit pavers.

1. When installation is performed with mechanical equipment, use only unit
pavers with spacer bars on sides of each unit.
H. Vibrate pavers into leveling course with a low-amplitude plate vibrator capable of
a 3500- to 5000-lbf compaction force at 80 to 90 Hz. Perform at least three
passes across paving with vibrator. Vibrate under the following conditions:
1. After edge pavers are installed and there is a completed surface or before
surface is exposed to rain.
2. Before ending each day's work, fully compact installed concrete pavers to
within 36 inches of the laying face. Cover pavers that have not been com-
pacted, and leveling course on which pavers have not been placed, with non-
staining plastic sheets to protect them from rain.
I. Spread and broom dry polymeric sand and fill joints immediately after vibrating
pavers into leveling course. Repeat adding and compacting polymeric sand until
joints are completely filled to the chamfer or shoulders of the pavers. Clean pav-
er areas thoroughly remove all excess sand. with leaf blower or similar equip-
ment without removing sand from joints. Wet the paved area lightly on “shower”.
Allow joints to dry for 5 to 10 minutes and re-water up to 3 or 4 times in order to
fully activate the polymeric sand. Jointing shall be done in workable areas to en-
sure completion within a work day.
1. Jointing work shall not occur if rain is in the forecast. Weather shall be clear
for several days. Pavers shall be completely dry prior jointing work.
2. Temperature shall be above 35 degrees F in order for jointing work to com-
mence.
3. Clean paved surfaces with a leaf blower or similar equipment to ensure re-
moval of all excess sand from paver surfaces.
4. Joints shall be watered 2/3 depth of joint. Test for water depth by digging out
sand in a small area to check moisture. Replace sand. Overwatering or
washing sand out of the joints are not allowed.
J. Do not allow traffic on installed pavers until sand has been vibrated into joints.
K. Repeat joint-filling process 30 days later.
3.5 REPAIRING, POINTING, AND CLEANING
A. Remove and replace unit pavers that are loose, chipped, broken, stained, or oth-
erwise damaged or that do not match adjoining units. Provide new units to
match adjoining units and install in same manner as original units, with same
joint treatment and with no evidence of replacement.
B. Pointing: When applicable, when tooling of joints, enlarge voids or holes and
completely fill with grout. Point up joints at sealant joints to provide a neat, uni-
form appearance, properly prepared for sealant application.
C. Cleaning: Remove excess sand, dirt, debris, mortar or grout from exposed paver
surfaces; wash and scrub clean.
