Best Practices
Anchorlock® Edit
Anchorlock’s unique “L” shaped design gives this paver the ultimate in locking strength. Not only does it have six locking sides, but is also capable of sustaining enormous loads due to the two axis upon which the concentrated loads are placed. Mechanically installed, Anchorlock is economical for paving of large areas.

The random pattern is the most pleasing. Minimum radius 6 feet for curved applications. Install from multiple palettes for best color distribution.
Accent compatibility
- all paver applications. (no walls)
Jointing Material and Joint Stabilization
- Good: Ordinary dry joint sand stabilized by a water-based or solvent based joint sand stabilizer sealer.

Handling and Installation– This product cannot be compacted with a plate tamper. Use a hand mallet to make minor height adjustments. Care must be taken to avoid tossing stones so that they bang against each other. Damage to the surface appearance can happen if handled too rough. Both random and linear patterns are common. Install from multiple palettes for best color distribution. Install with ¼” spacing between units.
Jointing Material and Joint Stabilization
- Good: ordinary dry joint sand stabilized by a water-based or solvent based joint sand stabilizer (joint sand stabilizer sealer may make the surface slightly slippery).
- Better: Unicare Polymeric Sand, Techniseal RG+, Alliance Gator XP
- Best: EasyPro is best especially for open-graded base applications. Ensure that an approximate ¼’
joint is maintained during installation so that adequate jointing material can fill the voids.
Special Note: Alliance Gator Max Polymeric Sand (overlays). Make sure all proper Polymeric sand installation procedures are followed. See video at www.unilock.com.
