Cum să așezi pavele de granit?
Here are the basic steps to lay granite pavers:
Prepare the Base:
Excavate the area to the desired depth, typically 4-6 inches.
Compact the soil and add a layer of gravel or crushed stone for drainage.
Spread and compact a 1-2 inch layer of sand or crushed stone screenings to create a level base.

Lay the Pavers:
Start in one corner and arrange the granite pavers in the desired pattern, leaving a small gap (1/4 to 1/2 inch) between each paver.
Use a level to ensure the pavers are even and adjust as needed.
Cut pavers around edges and obstacles using a paver saw or angle grinder.

Compact the Pavers:
Use a plate compactor or vibrating tamper to compact the pavers firmly into the sand or screenings base.
Repeat the compaction process a few times to ensure the pavers are stable and level.
Fill the Joints:
Sweep a joint filler material, such as sand or polymeric sand, into the gaps between the pavers.
Lightly mist the joints with water to help the filler set.
Repeat the process until the joints are completely filled.

Final Compaction:
Make a final pass with the plate compactor or vibrating tamper to fully settle the pavers and joint filler.
Clean and Seal (optional):
Sweep the surface clean of any debris.
Consider applying a sealant to protect the granite pavers and joint filler.
Remember to follow local building codes and guidelines, and consult with a professional if you have any questions or concerns. Proper preparation and installation are crucial for a durable and long-lasting granite paver project.
