Excavation
Excavation must allow for a 2% or ¼inch-per-foot grade to ensure adequate
drainage. For details on required materials and excavation depths, see tables
above. Dig another 12 inches around the
surface to be paved to allow for curbs or
edge restraints and compaction.
Lotus Stones
Lotus stones are palletized in rows. Each row
has six different models. The stones must be
installed according to a specific interconnecting pattern.. Markers on the sides of the
stones make it easy to follow this pattern.
There are two types of marker:
Bed face
(concrete sand)
Large markers may be single or double. They must
be aligned one next to another.

Base
Excavation
Base
Spread 0-3/4-inch granular material
in 4-inch lifts. Compact the material at
each layer. Recommended compacting
equipment includes a vibrating plate, a
vibrating roller or a jumping jack tamper.
Once compacted, the base must have the
desired depth (see excavation depth and
foundation thickness table). Edging must
be completed before finishing the base.
Install one side of edging. To minimize
the need for cutting, install a temporary
row of pavers on the ground to determine
the ideal distance and position of the opposite edge. Once the second side of the
edging has been determined, install it and
compact behind it.
Dig a 6-inch base. In general, 10% of the
wall must be buried. Allow 8 to 12 inches
behind the wall for a drainage layer of
clean gravel. Protect the base and drainage layer against contamination by the
existing soil by covering the bottom and
back of the trench with geotextile fabric.
Allow for 12 extra inches of geotextile fabric to fold over the drainage layer once the
wall is completely erected.
Spread 0-3/4-inch granular material
and compact it with a vibrating plate or
a jumping jack tamper. Next, install a
4-inch perforated drain on the base.
Compact the trench behind it. Connect
the drain to the existing drainage system
in order to evacuate any accumulation of
water behind the wall.
Excavation must allow for a 2% or ¼inch-per-foot grade to ensure adequate
drainage. For details on required materials and excavation depths, see tables
above. Dig another 12 inches around the
surface to be paved to allow for curbs and
compaction.
Spread 0-3/4 inch granular material in
4-inch lifts. Compact the material after
each layer. Recommended compacting
equipment includes a vibrating plate, a
vibrating roller or a jumping jack tamper.
Once compacted, the base must have the
desired depth (see excavation depth and
foundation thickness table).
Narrow markers may be single, double or triple.
They are semi-cylindrical male-female types. Male
markers must be aligned with female markers
having the same number of grooves.
Preliminary
installation steps:
Prepare base and bedding sand according to
the recommendations listed in the Bolduc
Products Installation Guide.
Step 1
Install an initial Lotus stone, preferably
along one of the lines delimiting the area to
be paved. Identify its type (large or narrow)
and the number of markers (1, 2 or 3) on
its side. The stone illustrated in Figure 1 has
double narrow female markers.
Installation
Finishing
Spread a 5/8 to at most 1-inch thick layer
of concrete sand. Do not compact the
bedding sand. Level with a very straight
board. Walk on the pavers and stay off the
bedding sand during installation.
Stabilize the paved surface with a vibrating plate. Compact several times in both
directions. We recommend that you
spread bagged polymer sand and work
it into the joints by sweeping the surface
in all directions. Work the sand into the
joints with each passing of the vibrating
plate. A urethane plate between vibrating plate and pavers is recommended
to protect paver surfaces. Add sand as
needed. After sweeping the sand away and
using the blower, spray the pavers to wet
the joints and be sure to remove excess
water with the blower.
Special considerations
• Reno•Deco guide pavers are not designed for driveways.
• Fill all joints with polymer sand as soon as the installation is completed.
• Paver colors may vary. It is best to alternate pavers during installation.
• Never apply sealant within one year of installation.
• Concrete or plastic edging helps to maintain joint integrity.
• Consult our website at www.bolduc.ca to see laying patterns for each type of paver.
(For more information on polymer sand, see the video at the manufacturer’s website
www.techniseal.com)
Installation
Finishing
Place entire first row of blocks and make
sure they are at the right level. For Slope
Block I, buried rows as well as the first row
should always be installed with no spacing
between units. This is optional for the following rows. Always complete one row of
blocks before starting another. Put backfill behind the wall with clean gravel about
every 8 inches.
Do not allow spacing in the last row of
blocks. We also recommend that you
glue the last two rows of blocks or cap
stones using a good quality concrete adhesive. Fold up the excess geotextile over
the clean gravel at the level of the next to
last row of blocks. Fill up behind the last
row of blocks with existing soil or some
other appropriate material. Level blocks
so as to be able to complete your layout
to the wall.
Installation
Finishing (optional)
Spread a 5/8 to at most 1 inch thick layer
of concrete sand. Do not compact this
layer. Level with a very straight board.
Walk on the pavers and stay off the bedding sand during installation.
Spread bagged polymer sand and work it
into the joints by sweeping the surface in
all directions. Work sand into joints using
vibrating plate, which must be equipped
with urethane plate to protect slabs. Add
sand as needed. Make sure to sweep the
slabs thoroughly before completing the
installation by lightly spraying the paved
surface with water. Use no more water
than is necessary to penetrate to the base.
Special considerations
• Slab colors may vary. It is best to alternate slabs during installation.
• Never apply paver sealant less than one year after installation.
Special considerations
• Geogrids must be used to reinforce retaining walls if they exceed the maximum recommended
height.
• Blocks must cross over joints – never install them in a column.
• Blocks may vary in color. It is best to alternate blocks during installation.
• Sutton wallstones are finished on two sides. They can be used for walls visible on both sides.
• Champlain Antique wallstones: a bevelled stone and a crowning right-angle stone.
• Econo Split Face Slope Block II are split-faced on both sides. They can be used for walls visible
on both sides.
• Econo Slope Block I can be installed with closed joints or open to 2 inches. Use a foundation slab
for better stability and easier alignment.
• Slope Block I Classic can be installed with closed joints or open to 2 inches. Use a foundation
slab for better stability and easier alignment
• Slope Block I Regular 8” can be installed with closed joints or open to 2 inches. Use a foundation slab for better stability and easier alignment
(For more information on polymer sand, see the video at the manufacturer’s website
www.techniseal.com.)
Curbs (planter installation)
To improve stability, at least half the height of the curb should be buried in the ground. For example, a
6” curb by at most 3” and an 8” curb by at most 4”. Select curb size according to desired above-ground
height and determine how deeply it will be set into the ground. To determine excavation depth, allow
for another 4” for the 0-3/4” compacted base. Dig a 12-inch-wide trench to the desired depth.
Spread about 5 inches of 0-3/4” in the bottom of the trench and compact with a rammer. Check level
of compacted base and correct if necessary with sand or screenings. Fill trench on both sides of curb
with 0 3/4”. Compact each side, taking care not to shift curb sideways.
Step 2
On the palette, find the next stone with
markers that correspond to those on the
installed stone. In this example, you would
be seeking double narrow male markers
(Figures 2, 3 and 4).
Step 3
Continue installing following the same
principle. Identify the type of markers on
the stones in Figure 5. Then select the next
stones to be installed according to these
markers (Figures 6 and 7). Figure 7 shows
a close-up of an assembly of single narrow
female-male markers and a triplet of narrow
male-female markers.
Step 4
Continue the installation (Figure 8). Figure
9 shows a close-up of an assembly of single
large markers.
Final steps
Once the paving area is filled, begin sawing stones along the edge (optional) and install the
border stones. Fill joints according to the recommendations in the Bolduc Products Installation Guide.
Special considerations
• Slab colors may vary. It is best to alternate slabs during installation.
• Never apply paver sealant less than one year after installation.
