Preparation
Determine the dimensions and shape of the paving area. Mark boundaries with wooden stakes and string, then clear grass, debris and vegetation.
Excavation
Excavate the site to approximately 15-20cm, or 6-8 inches, to provide space for gravel and outdoor tiles.
Base layer installation
Lay a 5-10cm layer of crushed stone within the excavated area and compact it with a tamper or plate compactor.
Gravel layer addition
Spread a 5-7cm layer of coarse sand or gravel over the compacted stone, rake it level and compact it to support the tiles.
Tile laying
Begin from one corner and place tiles in rows or columns, keeping alignment and uniform gaps. Trim tiles when necessary.
Joint filling and finish
Sweep fine sand or gravel into joints, compact gently, clean the site and lightly spray water to help the joint material settle.
Project Notes
Checks before final confirmation.
Use these notes during sample confirmation, quotation and installer coordination.
Regular inspection
Inspect the surface, joints and edge restraints so the paved area remains even over time.
Best project fit
Use gravel paving for garden floors, informal walkways and outdoor areas that benefit from practical drainage.
