Paving stones are a popular material for road and pedestrian surfaces due to their practicality and design appeal. However, the quality of the coating is of utmost importance and must be fairly priced. Proper stone laying and associated work with small paving elements must be executed with great care and adherence to a specific scheme. Any falls or bumps in a large city like Stockholm are unacceptable. The cost of laying depends on the complexity of the work, diagrams, and drawings for the specific project, its location, and the level of expertise of the workers.
To start the stone laying process, a designer must determine the basic design parameters, drainage conditions, load, site size, and other factors. They will make recommendations on the installation method, color scheme, and pavement configuration. Next, the area for the coating is divided, levels are determined, and the area is prepared by removing the fertile soil layer, compacting the surface, and clearing the remains of plants and branches. If the surface is loose, a cushion of rubble is added.
The profile of the territory is then determined based on natural features, and the surface is leveled with coarse-grained sand depending on the drainage method. A layer height of 8-10 cm is recommended, and special equipment is used to vibrate the surface for a stable foundation. Borders or framing are then installed according to levels and fixed with a cement mixture to strengthen the base and keep it clear. Semi-dry concrete is used for the base installation, and the seams are not rubbed.
The base for the pavement is prepared by placing a gravel mixture or crushed stone with a fraction of 5-40 mm on the level and framed surface. This ensures durability and strength for the coating. Then, a floor from shielding of crushed stone fractions of 0-4 mm or sand is created with a minimum thickness of 5 cm. Finally, the paving stones are laid in the direction from the curb to the center of the site, and diagonal paving is recommended for areas with constant traffic to ensure an even load.
After agreeing on the terms, the craftsmen will carry out the necessary preparatory work and start the stone laying process according to the approved design and scheme. Throughout the entire process, the craftsmen will carefully monitor the quality of work and make sure that the pavement is laid evenly and securely.
