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

2) 4m x 2m = 8m 2
3) 3m x 4m = 12m 2
Total = 35m 2
For triangular areas:

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
www.boral.com.au/
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

Leaves, bark, algae,

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.

specifi c “how to build” walls

guidetobuildretainingwalls
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.
