The modulo4 pavers are not made for driveways.
Always fill joints with Permapro SP polymeric sand as soon as pavers are set.
Always compact pavers at least twice, this helps polymeric sand fill joints completely.
Keep in mind that colours are not even. Alternate pavers during installation, to prevent coloured spots.
Cut pavers with a concrete saw or with a sledgehammer and chisel.
Installing concrete or plastic curbs helps maintain joint integrity.
Do not apply sealant in the first year of installation.

Define the area to excavate with stakes and string.
Dig 6” wider than the area to be paved.
At 11” deep, check level with a string level.
Allow for drainage with a small incline.
Spread and compact the 0–3/4” stone in 4” layers.
Compact the stone several times. It is recommended
to use a vibrating plate. If you are installing Universal Curb,
now is the time to install the curbs before finishing the
foundation. Begin by installing the curb on one side.
Before installing the other side, temporarily place the row
of pavers in order to determine the ideal distance
and position of the other curb to avoid having
to cut the pavers later. If you are installing a
Permapro plastic curb, see step 3.
Place two 1-inch strips on the compacted
foundation to help level screening. Spread screening
between the two guides and level with a long straight plank.
Move guides to cover entire surface. Do not step
on screening. Instead, set pavers and walk on these
as you progress. Permapro plastic curbs should be installed
on both sides of paved surface.
Compact with vibrating plate, then spread
Permapro SP polymeric sand on pavers.
Make sand fill joints by sweeping surface
in all directions. Repeat with vibrating plate in
order to lock pavers. Add sand if needed.

Permapro SP Polymeric sand is a special mix of polymer binding agents
and calibrated sand. It comes in grey or beige. Any contact with water
hardens it and literally locks concrete pavers together. It also provides
more support, helps fight ants and weeds and prevents erosion.
Follow procedure described above.
For better results proceed as described here. To create
