Step 1 

Gather ideas on the look you want to 

achieve. Look through this brochure and 

also obtain a free copy of the latest Boral 

Outdoor Design Guide. 

* Pre-sealed pavers: During the manufacturing process a fine mist of penetrative sealer is sprayed onto the pavers. 

This assists in minimising the short-term absorption of stains only. For maximum ongoing protection, Boral 

recommends that all pavers should be sealed with a quality penetrating sealer following installation and cleaning. 

Please check with a qualified tradesperson for advice on this process. Boral does not accept liability for stained or 

damaged pavers. 

^ Small pavers are less than 300mm x 300mm. Large pavers are larger than or equal to 300mm x 300mm. 

a 300mm x 300mm x 50mm only suitable for driveways. 

Step 2 Use the table above to find the paver that is recommended for 

your particular need. 

Step 3 Measure your area to be paved to determine quantity of pavers 

required. This area is simply calculated by length (m) x width (m) = 

area (m 2 ) for basic square or rectangular spaces (m= metres). 

1m 

Area 

For odd shapes, break your area into sections.

1) 5m x 3m = 15m 2 

4m 

1 2 3 

2) 4m x 2m = 8m 2 

3) 3m x 4m = 12m 2 

Total = 35m 2 

For triangular areas: 

1/2 x base (m) x height (m) = area (m 2 )

You can also measure your area using our on-line calculator.

Step 4 Select the paver size you prefer. Large format pavers are 

larger than or equal to 300mm (length) x 300mm (w idth) 

and small format pavers are less than 300 x 300mm. 

Your choice will depend on the look you wish to achieve 

as per Step 1. 

(Bullnose pavers have a rounded edge along one face of 

the paver, making them ideal for steps and pool edges.) 

Step 5 Select a colour that complements your area, home 

and surroundings.

general tips 

Tip 1 

Select pavers that match internal floor coverings to ensure the transition from 

indoor out is subtle and blends with your decorating style. 

Tip 2 

Tip 3 

Tip 4 

Tip 5 

Tip 6 

Tip 7 

If paving around pools or building stairs, choose a range that includes a bullnose, 

like Aspenstone ® or Stoneworks Travertine, to create a smooth finish. 

Combining large and small format pavers can add textural qualities for a more 

distinctive space. 

Geo-Fix paving joint mortar saves time, effort and water and is ideal for applying 

a permanent, rigid joint more than 5mm wide and a minimum 25mm deep on all 

types of paving. 

When paving a small space keep the design simple and use a neutral coloured, 

large format paver to create a sense of space. 

Boral recommends that even pre-sealed pavers be resealed with a quality 

penetrating sealer following installation. 

Large format pavers, such as Aspenstone® and Stoneworks Travertine, speed 

up the laying process.

or see how it’s done on video 


paving_guide_video 

01 prepare the site 02 add the bedding sand 03 level the surface 

Excavate the area to be paved to allow 

for the base layer (generally 100 -150mm 

thick of road base), bedding sand 

(generally 30mm thick coarse washed 

river sand) and the paver thickness. 

Establish falls and level using a spirit 

level on the screed board. Spread 

the road base to an even thickness 

and compact using a mechanical 

plate compactor. 

Place screed rails on road base and 

spread bedding sand roughly between 

and over the rails – keep the rails. 

The easiest way to screed sand is to 

use two guides (screed rails) and a 

screeding board (e.g. a flat piece of 

timber). Establish bedding tracks with 

the screeding board. 

Bed the screed rails into the bedding 

sand. Drag the screeding board in a 

sawing motion from side to side across 

the rails to create a firm, flat laying 

surface. Remove the rails, fill in the voids 

with bedding sand and trowel smooth. 

04 set the lines 

Set string lines at right angles to 

establish paving lines. These will help 

keep the joints straight for that truly 

professional look. 

05 begin the laying 

Start laying along the longest straight 

edge of the designated area and lay 

whole pavers first. Leave 3-5mm 

between pavers to allow for jointing 

sand (unless the pavers have nibs). 

06 cut pavers 

Cut and position part-pavers if the 

job requires them. Edge restraints 

prevent the pavers from moving. 

07 fill the joints 

Sweep jointing sand over the finished 

dry paving, ensuring that all joints are full. 

As an alternative, use Geo-Fix , a ready 

to use joint mortar. Go to page 34 for 

more details. 

08 finishing touches 

Sand filled joints: 

a) Pavers 50mm thick or greater 

– surface to be plate compacted. 

Always remember to use a rubber 

mat or carpet beneath the plate 

compactor to prevent damage to 

the pavers. 

b) Pavers 40mm thick or less 

– surface to be hand compacted with 

a rubber mallet 

Geo-Fix mortar: 

– surface to be hand compacted 

prior to Geo-Fix application. 

Caring for your pavers 

prevention is better than cure 

• Sweep regularly with a stiff bristled broom to keep pavers free from debris. 

• For maximum protection we suggest pavers are sealed after installation with a 

penetrating sealer. Please check with a reputable sealing company for advice. 

• Seal pavers with a penetrating sealer before grouting to avoid grout smears. 

• Re-seal pavers as required paying extra attention to heavy wear areas and 

salt-water locations. 

• During construction, cover the paved areas to protect against damage. 

• Protect your pavers against possible staining from mortar, oxides, cement and rust. 

• Do not use acid to clean pavers. 

• Do not use high pressure cleaning apparatus to clean pavers. 

• In all cases, attempt to clean a stain before it hardens or dries. 

If a stain occurs, follow some simple steps: 

• Assess type of stain carefully before taking action (incorrect assessment of stain 

can cause the stain to be more difficult to remove). 

• If stain cannot be accurately assessed, conduct a trial process on a small 

portion of stained area to determine most appropriate action. 

• Do not use acid to remove stains under any circumstances. 

Refer to the guide beside for some stain removal solutions. 

PROBLEM 

Efflorescence* 

(White powdery 

deposit) 

Leaves, bark, algae, 

food and wine stains 

Chewing gum 

Ivy suckers 

SUGGESTED CLEANING METHOD 

Brush first with a stiff bristled broom. Then hose^ 

with clean water. Weathering will eventually stop 

this process from occurring. 

Use 10 part water to 1 part bleach, then 

wash^ down. 

Freeze with dry ice and remove with a spatula. 

Apply a heat gun to the suckers until they go 

hard. Allow them to cool and dry, then scrub 

them off with a stiff bristled broom. 

* Efflorescence occurs naturally in cement based products. 

^ Subject to water restrictions in your area. 

* Pre-sealed pavers: During the manufacturing process a fine mist of penetrative sealer is 

sprayed onto the pavers. This assists in minimising the short-term absorption of stains only. 

For maximum ongoing protection, Boral recommends that all pavers should be sealed with a 

quality penetrating sealer following installation. Please check with a qualified tradesperson for 

advice on this process. Boral does not accept liability for stained or damaged pavers.

Tip 1 

Save time and effort by selecting a 

DIY retaining wall system with precut 

corner pieces and a smooth 

top – no need for capping – such 

as Arena Wall ® . 

Step 1 Gather ideas on the look you want to achieve. 

Look through this brochure and also obtain a free copy 

of the latest Boral Outdoor Design Guide. 

Step 2: Use the table above to determine which retaining wall 

is most suitable for your particular application. 

1. Determine the height you want to achieve. 

2. Determine which design you want 

– do you want curves, corners or a straight wall 

Step 3 Select a colour that complements your area, home and 

surroundings such as other homes in your street. 

Tip 2 

Tip 3 

To create an outdoor room 

environment, use low-level 

retaining walls to build structure 

around paving – and it doubles as 

extra seating. 

If you’re constructing a doublesided 

decorative retaining wall, 

select a range with a doublesided 

design such as Hadrian ® Wall 

or Edgestone ® . 

Step 4 Choose to D.I.Y. or hire a contractor. Refer to page 32 

for tips on installing a retaining wall. 

‡ Please consult with regulating council for local design requirements prior to the construction of any retaining 

wall. Councils in general require that retaining walls be designed and certified by a suitably qualified engineer 

where the wall is over 0.5m in height and/or where there is a surcharge loading, such as a driveway, house or 

other structure near the wall. 

Tip 4 

When creating a new space with 

retaining walls and paving, use 

contrasting colours and textures to 

give your home a stylish edge.

34 how to build a wall 

01 locate your wall 02 prepare the site 03 backfill and 

Mark out the ground where 

your wall will be located (either 

by marking with stakes and 

a string line or by marking a 

line on the ground with spray 

paint). Excavate trench then 

compact roadbase into trench 

to form a levelling pad. 

Go to www.boral.com.au/ 

wallcalc t o calculate how 

many blocks you require. 

Place blocks side by side on the 

levelling pad using a string line 

along the back of the units for 

alignment. Level each unit side 

to side and front to back using 

your spirit level. Spend time 

making sure the first course 

of units is level, otherwise all 

ensuing courses and ultimately 

the entire wall will not be level. 

compact 

Install an agricultural drain 

150mm diameter behind 

your first course and surround 

with gravel (12-20mm sized 

gravel, e.g. blue metal). Shovel 

and compact your backfill 

(existing site soil) behind 

the drainage material. (Backfill 

consisting of heavy clays or 

organic soils is not recommended 

due to water holding properties). 

04 additional 

courses 

Sweep the top of the previous 

course clean. Place the next 

course of units in a running 

bond pattern (i.e. with the 

vertical joints from the first 

course units halfway across the 

second course units). Pull each 

unit forward until it locks with 

the nib on the unit below. Place 

the drainage material behind the 

second course of units. Stack 

units, placing drainage material 

and compact backfill for each 

block height layer until your wall 

is complete. 

05 fixing capping 

units 

Place capping units, if required, 

on the top course. It is 

recommended that caps be 

secured using a construction 

adhesive such as liquid nails ® . 

Some capping may require the 

removal of nibs from the top 

course of blocks.

height and/or where there is a surcharge loading, such as a driveway, house or other 

structure near the wall.
