Install and Compact Base:
• Add base material 2" at a time.
• Compact each layer completely with a plate compactor or hand tamper.
• Compact to 95% proctor density (ASTM D 698).
• Be sure to compact all edges and corners thoroughly as these are at the
most risk to degradation.
• Limit any undulations to under 1/4" to limit any dips or humps in the final
installation.
Install and Level Sand Bed:
• Add a 3/4" to 1" layer of bedding
sand.
• Lay down two parallel pieces of
conduit (3/4" or 1" diameter).
• Place bedding sand between the
two pieces of conduit and pull a
screed board or straight edge down the conduit to level the sand out.
• Add sand to areas that are uneven and re-level.
• Pull the conduit out and fill in the area, leveling with a trowel or float.
• Do not compact the bedding sand.
• Refer back to page 7 for laying of AZEK Pavers.
Decide on Border / Soldier Course:
The AZEK Paver system allows for several border and soldier course
options. These can either be straight or curved. The accessory pavers can
help limit the cutting and give a finished look to the project.

IMPORTANT:
Be sure to
install base
material at the
proper slope.
This should be
approximately
1 inch over 6
feet to ensure
sufficient water
drainage.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use
sand to level
depressions in
the base layer.
Instead, add
base material to
level the area.
