b. Promenade™ 300mm x 300mm x 50mm only.

* Pre-sealed pavers: During the manufacturing process a fine mist of penetrative sealer is sprayed onto the pavers. This assists in minimising the short-term absorption of stains only. For maximum ongoing protection, Boral recommends that all pavers should be sealed with a quality penetrating sealer following installation. Please check with a qualified tradesperson for advice on this process. Boral does not accept liability for stained or damaged pavers.

^ Small pavers are less than 300mm x 300mm. Large pavers are larger than or equal to 300mm x 300mm.

Step 1 Gather ideas on the look you want

to achieve. Look through this brochure

and also obtain a free copy of the latest

Boral Outdoor Design Guide.

03

Step 2: Use the table above to find the paver that is recommended for your particular need.

Step 3 Measure your area to be paved to determine quantity of pavers required. This area is simply calculated by length (m) x width (m) = area (m2) for basic square or rectangular spaces (m = metres).

For odd shapes, break your area into sections.

1) 5m x 3m = 15m2

2) 4m x 2m = 8m2

3) 3m x 4m = 12m2

Total = 35m2

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

e.g. 1/2 x 4m x 3m = 6m2

(Allow up to 10% extra pavers for wastage such as cuts and breakages.)

You can also measure your area using our on-line calculator.Go to www.boral.com.au/pavingcalc

Step 4 Select the paver size you prefer. Large format pavers are larger

than or equal to 300mm (length) x 300mm (w idth) and small

format pavers are less than 300 x 300mm.

(Bullnose pavers have a rounded edge along one face of

the paver, making them ideal for steps and pool edges.)

Step 5 Select a colour that complements your area, home

and surroundings.

Step 6 Choose to D.I.Y. or hire a professional contractor. Refer to page 19 for a basic

guide to laying pavers. A more comprehensive “Boral Guide to Laying Pavers”

is also available at www.boral.com.au/landscaping. Locate your nearest store by

simply visiting www.boral.com.au/storelocator and enter your postcode.

general tips

Tip 1 Boral recommends that even pre-sealed pavers be resealed with a quality

penetrating sealer following installation.

Tip 2 When paving a small space keep the design simple and use a neutral coloured,

large format paver to create a sense of space.

Tip 3 Paved paths help direct traffic and reduce the amount of dirt carried into your home.

Tip 4 To make a path appear more substantial, use a stretcher bond laying pattern across

the width of the path. See pattern on page 6.

Tip 5 Keep labour costs down by clearing the area and removing grass, existing pavers

and potting any plants you want to keep.

Tip 6 Print out a planning grid from www.boral.com.au/plangrid to help you draw

a rough plan of your garden.

Tip 7 Paved areas should fall away from buildings and towards areas where run-off

can be absorbed by plants. Start at the bottom and pave up the slope.

guidetolayingpavers

01 prepare the site 02 add the bedding sandExcavate the area to be paved to allow for the base layer (generally 100 -150mm thick of road base), bedding sand (generally 30mm thick coarse washed river sand) and the paver thickness. Establish falls and levels using a spirit level on the screen board. Spread the road base to an even thickness and compact using a mechanical plate compactor.

Spread and screed the bedding sand. The easiest way to screed sand is to use two guides (screed rails) and a screeding board (e.g. a flat piece of timber). Establish bedding tracks with the screeding board.

Bed the screed rails into the bedding sand. Drag the screeding board in a sawing motion from side to side across the rails to create a firm, flat laying surface.

Set string lines at right angles to establish paving lines. These will help keep the joints straight for that truly professional look.

Start laying along the longest straight edge of the designated area and lay whole pavers first. Leave 3-5mm between pavers to allow for jointing sand (unless the pavers have nibs).

Cut and position part-pavers if the job requires them. Edge restraints prevent the pavers from moving – refer to the “Boral Guide to Laying Pavers” for more details.

Sweep jointing sand over the finished dry paving, ensuring that all joints are full.

07 fill the joints

Compact the surface, add more jointing sand, sweep off excess and repeat. Remember to always use a rubber mat or carpet beneath the plate compactor to prevent damage to the pavers.

08 finishing touches

Caring for your pavers

prevention is better than cure

• Sweep regularly with a stiff bristled broom to keep pavers free from debris.

• For maximum protection we suggest pavers are sealed after installation

with a penetrating sealer. Please check with a reputable sealing company

for advice.

• Seal pavers with a penetrating sealer before grouting to avoid grout smears.

• Re-seal pavers as required paying extra attention to heavy wear areas and

salt-water locations.

• During construction, cover the paved areas to protect against damage.

• Protect your pavers against possible staining from mortar, oxides, cement

and rust.

• Do not use acid to clean pavers.

• Do not use high pressure cleaning apparatus to clean pavers.

• In all cases, attempt to clean a stain before it hardens or dries.

If a stain occurs, follow some simple steps:

• Assess type of stain carefully before taking action (incorrect assessment of

stain can cause the stain to be more difficult to remove).

• If stain cannot be accurately assessed, conduct a trial process on a small

portion of stained area to determine most appropriate action.

• Do not use acid to remove stains under any circumstances.

* Efflorescence occurs naturally in cement based products.^ Subject to water restrictions in your area.* Pre-sealed pavers: During the manufacturing process a fine mist of penetrative sealer is

sprayed onto the pavers. This assists in minimising the short-term absorption of stains only. For maximum ongoing protection, Boral recommends that all pavers should be sealed with a quality penetrating sealer following installation. Please check with a qualified tradesperson for advice on this process. Boral does not accept liability for stained or damaged pavers.

20

PROBLEM SUGGESTED CLEANING METHOD

Efflorescence* Brush first with a stiff bristled broom. Then hose^

(White powdery deposit) with clean water. Weathering will eventually stop this process from occurring.

Leaves and Bark Use a neutral or organic cleaner diluted with water then hose down.

Algae Mix 10 parts water with 1 part white vinegar. Leave 10 minutes on paver then hose down before solution dries.

Red Wine Use a neutral or organic cleaner diluted with water then hose down.

Food Stains Use a neutral or organic cleaner diluted with water then hose down.

Chewing Gum Freeze with dry ice and remove with a spatula.

Ivy Suckers Apply a heat gun to the suckers until they go hard. Allow them to cool and dry, then scrub them off with a stiff brush.

howtochooseawall

Step 1 Gather ideas on the look you want to achieve.

Look through this brochure and also obtain a free copy

of the latest Boral Outdoor Design Guide.

Step 2: Use the table above to determine which retaining wall

is most suitable for your particular application.

1. Determine the height you want to achieve.

2. Determine which design you want

– do you want curves, corners or a straight wall?

Step 3 Select a colour that complements your area, home and

surroundings such as other homes in your street.

Step 4 Choose to D.I.Y. or hire a contractor. Refer to page 32

for tips on installing a retaining wall.

general tips

Tip 1 Rule of thumb: the higher the

retaining wall, the greater the

need for engineering assistance.*

Tip 2 Raised garden beds using Heathstone®

are easy to maintain and provide extra

seating in your garden.

Tip 3 Mark out the location of curved walls

first with either curved capping, rope

or a garden hose to assist in working

out the exact wall length.

Tip 4 Know your soil type when planning

retaining walls.

Tip 5 In areas subject to vandalism, it is

recommended that the top units are

secured using a construction adhesive

such as Liquid Nails (for Gardenwall®

and Edgestone®). Note:Please consult with regulating council for local design requirements prior to the construction of any retaining wall. Councils in general require that retaining walls be designed and certified by a suitably qualified engineer where the wall is over 0.5m in height and/or where there is a surcharge loading, such as a driveway, house or other structure near the wall.

02 prepare the site01 locate your wall 03 backfill and compactPlace blocks side by side on the levelling pad using a string line along the back of the units for alignment. Level each unit side to side and front to back using your spirit level. Spend time making sure the first course of units is level, otherwise all ensuing courses and ultimately the entire wall will not be level.

Mark out the ground where your wall will be located (either by marking with stakes and a string line or by marking a line on the ground with spray paint). Excavate trench then compact roadbase into trench to form a levelling pad. Go to www.boral.com.au/wallcalc t o calculate how many blocks you require.

Install an agricultural drain 150mm diameter behind your first course and surround with gravel (12-20mm sized gravel, e.g. blue metal). Shovel and compact your backfill (existing site soil) behind the drainage material. (Backfill consisting of heavy clays or organic soils is not recommended due to water holding properties).

Place capping units, if required, on the top course. It is recommended that caps be secured using a construction adhesive such as liquid nails®. Some capping may require the removal of nibs from the top course of blocks.

Sweep the top of the previous course clean. Place the next course of units in a running bond pattern (i.e. with the vertical joints from the first course units halfway across the second course units). Pull each unit forward until it locks with the nib on the unit below. Place the drainage material behind the second course of units. Stack units, placing drainage material and compact backfill for each block height layer until your wall is complete.

Note:Please consult with regulating council for local design requirements prior to the construction of any retaining wall. Councils in general require that retaining walls be designed and certified by a suitably qualified engineer where the wall is over 0.5m in height and/or where there is a surcharge loading, such as a driveway, house or other structure near the wall.
