Product Overview Permeable Pavers

Brick

A critical element in the management and treatment of stormwater runoff, permeable pavers are becoming incredibly popular in sustainable design. Used in both commercial and residential applications, permeable pavers also play a key role in the reduction in heatisland effect and erosion.

Made simply of clay and shale, brick is one of the world’s oldest “green” products. In addition to being one of the most aesthetically versatile design products, brick provides many functional benefits in a building envelope. Besides being fireproof, insect-proof, lowmaintenance and a natural insulator, brick is also 100% recyclable.

Sustainability Mutual Materials Products and LEED Points Mutual Materials produces a wide array of products that help contribute to LEED points as determined by USGBC. The matrix at right, indicates just some of the ways Mutual Materials’ products can help achieve healthy construction sites and sustainable buildings.

LEED® LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a thirdparty certification program for the design, construction, and operation of buildings and other projects aiming to achieve a high-performance green rating. Administered by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED’s Green Building Rating System® assigns points based on the materials and systems used in a project to help evaluate the overall performance. The number of points earned determines a project’s level of LEED certification. LEED promotes sustainability by assigning points in five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoor environmental quality. Mutual Materials products may help contribute to some of these areas.

We Have the Answers Where can I purchase Mutual Materials® hardscape products? Mutual Materials ® concrete pavers, retaining walls, architectural slabs, natural stone and clay pavers are available through our 16 branch locations. They can also be found at home improvement stores throughout Washington, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia­— see www.mutualmaterials.com for a dealer in your area.

Can I install my own project even if I’ve never done this sort of work before? Yes. Use the installation instructions at the back of this catalog and the design ideas and tips on our website, www.mutualmaterials.com to help guide your project. However, if your budget allows you may want to consider hiring a contractor. Installing hardscape features is hard work. Keep this in mind, especially if you’re planning a large project.

Does Mutual Materials offer installation services? We are your complete solution for materials and installation for most types of projects. Visit our website or one of our branches for details.

What type of maintenance do Mutual Materials’ products require? Concrete pavers, architectural slabs, natural stone, and clay pavers require minimal maintenance. Simply pressure wash or use a leaf blower on your project at least once a year. You may need to sweep more sand into the joints after pressure washing.

How soon after installation can I use my new project?

Can I use concrete pavers, architectural slabs, natural stone, clay pavers around my swimming pool?

What is the white film on my concrete product/natural stone, and will it go away?

Definitely! Not only do Mutual Materials® concrete pavers, architectural slabs, natural stone, and clay pavers enhance your pool deck, they also offer a slipresistant surface for walking.

The white deposit you see is called efflorescence. There is no need to be concerned that your product is damaged or defective, and it has no adverse effect on the physical structure of the product. Efflorescence is normal on concrete pavers (and block), as well as on some natural stone. It may appear on the surface of new and older projects alike, and is a naturally occurring phenomenon. It occurs with leaching of salts that are deposited on the surface when water evaporates. Efflorescence can correct itself over time and exposure to the elements. It can also be cleaned with a number of commercial cleaners. However, we recommend that you discuss cleaning options with your contractor or a Mutual Materials customer service representative before attempting to clean efflorescence.

I want to build a retaining wall 4 feet tall, what factors should I consider? Whenever building a wall over 4 feet (1.2 meter) tall, you should consult a professional engineer and your city’s planning department. Mutual Materials® retaining walls have a recommended maximum wall height—be sure to choose a wall system able to go to that height.

Do I need to seal my concrete pavers, natural stone or architectural slabs? No. However, sealers offer 3 key benefits: 1) Help resist penetrating stains. 2) Enhance the color. 3) C ertain types of sealers can bind the sand particles in the joints, reducing the ability of weeds to grow. We do not recommend sealing clay pavers.

How come the color on my product doesn’t look exactly like it does in the catalog? Due to the limitations of photography, there is no guarantee that your product’s colors and textures will have the same appearance as they do in print or online. We always recommend you see an actual sample before deciding on a product.

How do I get the most consistent coloring throughout my project? We recommend mixing product from different pallets in order to get a more consistent color in your project. This is also known as blending pallets.

Immediately, if your concrete pavers, architectural slabs, natural stone, or clay pavers are sand-set. Just be sure to complete each of the installation steps. If your natural stone or clay pavers are mortar-set, you should wait until the mortar is dry—consult your contractor or mortar instructions for drying time. w w w.mutualmaterials.com

Paver Installation Instructions The following are standard installation guidelines for a typical sand-set paver application. Please refer to the individual tech sheets for more specific information and installation instructions. Vehicular applications, such as a driveway or parking lot, require separate guidelines and one should consult a Mutual Materials representative, contractor, or engineer before installing pavers for these purposes. For more information, or help locating a contractor, please contact Mutual Materials directly or visit www.mutualmaterials.com. To see a video demonstration of installing a paver patio, check out our You Tube channel at www. youtube.com/user/mutualmaterialsco.

STEP 1: Excavation Mark area to be paved with stakes and string lines at the desired finished elevation. Locate stakes outside the project area by a minimum of 4". This will allow room for the edge restraint system. Excavate a minimum of 7" below final paver elevation. Allow 1⁄8" to 1⁄4" per foot slope for correct water runoff. Slope can be in more than one direction depending on jobsite circumstances. Water will not penetrate joints unless it is allowed to puddle or remain in an area. Remove any loose soils after excavation is complete.

STEP 2: Base Preparation Add a dusting of 3⁄4" minus rock to the excavated area. This will allow the plate compactor to glide across area without sticking to sub grade. Compact the entire sub-grade with a plate compactor. After compacting subgrade, add 1"– 2" of 3⁄4" minus rock, rake smooth and compact. Base rock should have a certain amount of moisture content. Repeat steps until final base elevation is achieved.

52

Hardscape Produc t Selec tion Guide

For a standard 2 3⁄8" concrete paver, the final base elevation should be 3" below final paver elevation. Remember, the final product will mirror the base elevation. Any deviation in base should be corrected at this time with base rock (not sand).

STEP 3: Bedding Sand Bedding sand should be screeded at a depth between 1" – 1 1⁄2". Place 1" rigid pipes below elevation lines and measure down 2" to top of pipe. Place pipes parallel to each other and almost as wide as the strike board (2 x 4). Place sand in between pipes and pull strike board across both pipes. This will allow approximately 1" of sand screeded between the two pipes. Pull pipes out of sand; fill pipe voids with sand and trowel smooth. Do not compact sand bed.

STEP 4: Install Pavers** Depending on the type of paver and pattern, starting points and direction of installation will vary. More times then not, opt for the easiest access with the longest run where no cutting will be made. Also consider more visual areas (i.e. in line with windows, doors, water features, etc). Pavers should be placed gently onto the sand bed and not pushed into it. Do not hammer-set pavers. Setting a string line 3" above setting bed will allow the installer to maintain straight pattern lines. After installing a larger area, place plywood on top of pavers to walk around on. This will distribute weight so individual pavers will not get embedded into sand before adjustments and final compaction is done. Slight adjusting can be accomplished by moving pavers to desired spot by inserting a flat head screwdriver in

between pavers and pushing them. Cut pavers can be used to fill any voids in the pattern along the edges. Be sure to mix pavers from multiple pallets to achieve a consistent color blend.

STEP 5: Edge Restraint Any edge not retained by a solid, rigid structure (i.e. concrete, asphalt, etc) should be contained with a plastic edge restraint system. These are easier to install after the pavers are laid. With spray nozzle, carefully moisten sand bed around perimeter of paver area. Remove excess sand around the perimeter with a trowel without disturbing the base. Place edge restraint system against paver/ bedding sand and on top of compacted base rock. Install 10" spikes every 8"– 12". Make sure that all edges are contained before compaction of pavers.

STEP 6: Compaction Compact first to achieve proper interlock and then sweep joint sand over entire area to fill paver joints and lock up pattern lines. Sweep excess joint sand off of paver surface. Place plate compactor on pavers and run compactor around perimeter. Then make back and forth runs, slightly overlapping the previous run. Sweep joint sand into joints again. Compact pavers in perpendicular runs to first compaction. When finished, sweep joint sand into paver joints until they are completely full. Plate compactors can be rented at most hardware stores. * S pecial design is required with permeable paving systems. Please contact a Mutual Materials salesperson. ** T o achieve a consistent color blend, it is important that you mix pavers from multiple pallets together as you lay your design.

Retaining Wall Installation Instructions Note: These instructions are intended as a general guide for walls less than 4 feet only. Please consult the technical specification sheet for the wall shape you choose for more specific installation instructions. Technical information for Pisa2®, RomanPisa®, and CornerStone® walls over 4 feet requiring engineering and reinforcement are available from a Mutual Materials Representative. To see a video demonstration of a retaining wall installation, visit our channel on You Tube at www.youtube.com/user/mutualmaterialsco.

STEP 1: First mark the area of the wall with chalk or spray paint. Dig out a trench that is a minimum of 6" (155 mm) deep plus 1" for every foot of wall height. Allow 6"–8" (150–200 mm) of space behind the wall for 3⁄4" washed drain rock (this means your trench is a minimum of 12" or 305 mm wide). Roots and big rocks should be removed from the trench. When the trench is dug out, put 3" of 5⁄8 minus crushed rock in the trench. Tamp (compact) the base and level it front to back and side to side.

Step 2:

Step 4:

Lay the base course of retaining wall blocks. Using a string line at the back of the units for alignment, place units side by side on the gravel, checking for level in both directions. Tip: Begin laying block at the lowest point of the wall. It is also easier to start at a straight part of the wall.Complete the base course before proceeding to the second course.

After each course is laid, backfill behind wall with washed 3 ⁄4 " gravel or drain rock and compact in 3" to 4" layers. This step is important to help drainage and to prevent soil from leaching through the wall face. For an additional safeguard, landscape fabric can also be used between the backfill and the drain rock. To help drainage behind taller walls, perforated flexible drainpipe should also be used. Slope gravel behind wall so that the pipe laid behind the wall slopes 1" (25 mm) for every 4' (1.2 m) toward the desired run-off area.

STEP 3: Start placing the second course. Center each unit on the seams of the first course. If using ManorStone ®, CottageStone ® Advantage, or VineyardStone TM the connecting lip should be pointed down to overhang the back edge of the base units. If using RomanStack ®, StackStone ®, Pisa2 ®, or RomanPisa ®, the bottom groove should be fitted over the tongue on the base units. If using Celtik Wall ®, insert clips as shown on the Celtik Wall ® Tech Sheet. This will provide a batter to the wall for better stability. If using CornerStone ® the connecting lugs should be pointed down to lock into the cores of the block below them. To cut blocks for the ends of the wall or in tight curved sections, use a hammer and chisel to score the unit on all sides. Pound the chisel with a three pound sledge on the score line until the unit splits. Always wear eye protection when splitting blocks. If many cuts are needed, a saw rental may be the way to go.

STEP 5: If using RomanStack ®, StackStone ®, Celtik Wall ®, Pisa2 ®, RomanPisa ®, or CornerStone ®, place the final layer using cap units for a finished look. An option for finishing the wall is to secure the top course with construction adhesive. Apply a bead of adhesive with a caulking gun. Lay the top course down on the bead and press firmly. Finish back filling behind the wall.

Sand-Set Slab Installation Instructions The following are standard installation guidelines for Architectural Slabs in a sand-set application. Architectural Slabs cannot be used in a vehicular application. For pedestal-set guidelines, please refer to the Architectural Slab Tech Sheet or visit us at www.mutualmaterials.com.

STEP 1: Excavation: Mark area to be paved with stakes and string lines at the desired finished elevation. Locate stakes outside the project area by a minimum of 4". This will allow room for the edge restraint system. Excavate a minimum of 7" below final pavement elevation. Allow 1 ⁄ 8 " to 1 ⁄ 4 " per foot slope for correct water runoff. Slope can be in more than one direction depending on jobsite circumstances. Water will not penetrate joints unless it is allowed to puddle or remain in an area. Remove any loose soils after excavation is complete.

STEP 2: Base Preparation: Add a dusting of 3 ⁄ 4 " minus rock to the excavated area. This will allow the plate compactor to glide across area without sticking to sub grade. Compact entire sub-grade with plate compactor.* After compacting subgrade, add 1"– 2" of 3 ⁄ 4 " minus rock, rake smooth and compact. Base rock should have a certain amount of moisture content. Repeat steps until final base elevation is achieved. For a standard 1 3 ⁄ 4 " architectural slab, the final base elevation should be 2 1 ⁄ 2 " below final pavement elevation. Remember, the final product will mirror the base elevation. Any deviation in base should be corrected at this time with base rock (not sand).

STEP 3:

STEP 5: 

Bedding Sand: Bedding sand should be screeded at a depth between 1"– 1 1 ⁄ 2 ". Place 1" rigid pipes below elevation lines and measure down 1 1 ⁄ 2 " to top of pipe. Place pipes parallel to each other and almost as wide as the strike board (2 x 4). Place sand in between pipes and pull strike board across both pipes. This will allow approximately 1" of sand screeded between the two pipes. Pull pipes out of sand; fill pipe voids with sand and trowel smooth. Do not compact sand bed.

Edge Restraint: Any edge not retained by a solid, rigid structure (i.e. concrete, asphalt, etc) should be contained with a plastic edge restraint system. These are easier to install after the slabs are laid. With spray nozzle, carefully moisten sand bed around perimeter of pavement area. Remove excess sand around the perimeter with a trowel without disturbing the base. Place edge restraint system against slab/bedding sand and on top of compacted base rock. Install 10" spikes every 8"–12". Make sure that all edges are contained before compaction of slabs.

STEP 4: Install slabs: Depending on the size of slab and pattern, starting points and direction of installation will vary. More times then not, opt for the easiest access with the longest run where no cutting will be made. Also consider more visual areas (i.e. in line with windows, doors, water features, etc). Slabs should be placed gently onto the sand bed and not pushed into it. Setting a string line 3" above setting bed will allow the installer to maintain straight pattern lines. After installing a larger area, place plywood on top of slabs to walk around on. This will distribute weight so individual slabs will not get embedded into sand before adjustments and final compaction is done. Slight adjusting can be accomplished by moving slabs to desired spot by inserting a flat head screwdriver in between slabs and pushing them. Cut slabs can be used to fill any voids in the pattern along the edges. Be sure to mix slabs from multiple pallets to achieve a consistent color blend.

STEP 6: Compaction: Compact first to achieve proper interlock and then sweep joint sand over entire area to fill slab joints and lock up pattern lines. Sweep excess joint sand off of slab surface. Place sheets of plywood over the pavement. Place plate compactor on plywood and run compactor, making sure not to leave compactor in one spot too long as it will crack or chip the slab below. Make back and forth runs, slightly overlapping the previous run. Compact pavers in perpendicular runs to first compaction. When finished, sweep joint sand into slab joints until they are completely full.

* Plate compactor can be rented at most rental outlets. ** T o achieve a consistent color blend, it is important that you mix slabs from multiple pallets together as you lay your design.

Natural Stone Installation Instructions How to Install Flagstone in Crushed Base Rock STEP 1: Excavate the area to allow for 3⁄4 minus, 1⁄4 minus and the thickness of your stone.

STEP 2: Lay out edging for the patio or walkway using ledge stone, vinyl edging, concrete or pressure treated lumber.

STEP 3: Put approximately 2" to 3" thickness of 3⁄4 minus base rock. If drainage is a concern, you can use 1½ minus. Compact this base by tamping and watering or using a mechanical compactor then lay out a 1½" thickness of fine 1⁄4 minus as a bed for your stones.

STEP 4: If your stone is of varying thickness, add or remove the 1⁄4 minus as you go, keeping the stones level with each other and your border.

STEP 5: Fill the joints between the stone with 1⁄4 minus or screened decomposed granite while sweeping and watering as you go. This step will have to be repeated until you are satisfied with the finish or you can use an organic joint sand stabilizer. You may also elect to fill with conditioned topsoil between the stone joints and plant a ground cover if that is the look you desire.

How to Mortar Set a Pathway or Patio STEP 1:

STEP 5:

F irst, you will need to determine the size of your patio, by staking it out with a string line and taking into consideration the type and thickness of your stone.

Lay a 1" mortar* bed, screed level. Screed only as much mortar as you can lay stone on before the mortar begins to set. Stones should be free of any dirt or debris. Apply a neet cement** to the back of each stone just before laying. Set your stone, leveling as you go. Tap stones with a rubber mallet to level and provide consistent contact with the mortar bed. Compensate for the variations in the thickness by adding or removing mortar as you go. Try to keep your joint spaces about 3⁄4" or so and avoid long, continuous joint lines.

STEP 2: Excavate the area to a depth of 6"–7".

STEP 3: Lay a 2" base of 3⁄4 or 1½ minus base rock and compact it thoroughly.

STEP 4: F orm, pour and screed a 3" pad of concrete. When the cement is beginning to set, take a coarse broom or steel rake and roughen the surface to aid in the adhesion of the mortar bed and stone

STEP 6: Grout*** joints with a float. Clean excess grout from stone with a damp sponge before grout sets.

* Mortar should be 1 part portland cement and 4 to 5 parts damp sand by volume with just enough water to form a loose ball. ** Neet cement should be portland cement and water in a cake batter consistency *** Grout should be 1 part portland cement to 3 parts sand with water to mortar consistency.
