Remember when lifting and carrying paving units, always consider the weight before attempting to lift. If it is heavy, take care not to trap your fingers whilst handling the paving units.
Ideally starting from a right angle or straight edge, place your blocks on top of the laying course, ensuring that they sit 5mm proud of the finished level.
Following your desired laying pattern ensure that you pick blocks from 3 or more different packs at any one time in order to minimise the risk of colour patching.
Once all of the blocks are laid into position you will need to cut a number to complete the area. Cutting blocks is best done using a block splitter or diamond disc cutter. Wherever possible, always obtain water suppression cutting equipment.
When using cutting equipment please follow all manufacturer's guidelines including acceptable levels of exposure and in particular use eye protection.
