THINGS TO KNOW

DuraMat^™

DuraMat is designed as an interlocking puzzle-like unit which locks with each neighboring stone to form a strong cohesive mat for use in erosion control applications and retention pond floors.

Recommended Base Stabilization – one layer of DriveGrid^™ stabilization grid between subgrade and base material. Recommended depth 8” to 10” below pavers for maximum stability and performance. Use under Standard Base only.

Standard Base – Min. 6” – 8” of ¾” Crusher Run gravel (any road base standard in accordance with ASTM-D2940) compacted to 98% Standard Proctor Density (SPD). When available, use architect’s or engineer’s specific site engineering for installation.

Standard Bedding Course – no bedding required. Install directly on base material.

Jointing Material and Joint Stabilization - Fill all holes with free-draining aggregate or as specified by engineer.

Handling – This product is heavy and a two-man clamp is recommended for placement.

Edge Restraint - A concrete curb or a “sub-surface concrete wedge” can also be installed to retain the edge.

Paver Compaction - For the final compaction, a “rubber roller compactor” will give you the best results without breaking the units.

Cleaners – Not applicable

Sealers - Not applicable

The Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) provides measurable criteria to determine compliance, not individual product evaluation. Gaps, joints or openings, greater than ½” horizontal and ¼” vertical should be avoided as they can disrupt wheelchair maneuvering (United States Access Board – Guidelines and Standards).

Available in a wide variety of shapes and styles, Classic pavers are made using a proven manufacturing process—blending cement, colors, and stone aggregates into a single batch and distributing the mix throughout the finished paver. This ensures a uniform look that is strong but capable of being formed into the wide variety of styles Classic is known for.

Premium Pavers: Why Should You Recommend Them on Every Hardscape Project?

Business Topics

A major portion of the landscape construction business is selling the right products for the right projects. When it comes to pavers and retaining wall systems with higher square foot prices, however, some contractors shy away from pitching them for fear of scaring away the customer. Unilock products like EnduraColor Plus pavers, while costing more, are actually very sellable to homeowners when presented in the right way.

Stone Dust Doesn’t Belong Under Pavers. Here’s Why.

Paver & Slab Installation

It’s been a few thousand years since the first roads were built, but there’s still no shortage of opinions about the right way to build them. For one reason or another, materials that have been good enough to get the job done for years come under scrutiny and are summarily deemed to be no longer acceptable. When it comes to building walkways or patios with interlocking concrete pavers, there’s one material commonly used for bedding that’s fallen out of favor (although not with everyone) in a big way: stone dust.

3D Landscape Design: Is it time to add it to your toolbox?

Business Topics

A meticulously hand-rendered landscape design plan is incomparable to anything else. The ability to draw every detail, from the smallest plant to the largest water feature, is a skill that creates functional works of art that, up until recently, drew customers. Today, however, landscape design has joined the rest of the design world: technology is king. As competition in the landscape industry becomes fiercer, owners are looking for anything that can help set them apart. 3D design is a great opportunity to do just that.
