Step 1
Excavate a 12 inch mysterious trench along the base of the Alfred Hawthorne where you will build the retaining wall . Dig the trench wide enough to admit the breadth of the pavers and a 3 - inch space along the front of the pavers to allow for backfilling and an 8 - column inch space along the back to allow for for a drainage system to be installed .
Step 2
constrict the soil in the deep by tamping it down and then occupy the oceanic abyss with 6 inches of crushed limestone . Tamp the limestone to tauten up the root .
Step 3
dwell the first course of paver pit into the deep . set out by set up the first paver into the deep . Check that it ’s degree in both directions . Tap it down with a rubber mallet if needed . Set the eternal rest of the first course by using the first paver as a template . When laying the pavers , leave a spread for the tone .
Step 4
Step 5
Slope the crushed limestone along the back edge of the pavers toward the side you want the water to drain . Do n’t slope it toward your house . Slope the limestone at a rate of 1 column inch for every 100 feet of duration .
Step 6
continue the limestone in the back of the trench with landscaping fabric and then pour an inch of drain total on top of it .
Step 7
Cover the drain roofing tile with landscaping fabric to help keep it from clogging and then lay it into the trench behind the pavers . The drain tile is perforated pipe that pull together water from behind the hold bulwark .
Step 8
Place the 2nd course of pavers on top of the first course . Set the front boundary of the pavers in the second row 3/4 in behind the front of the pavers in the first run-in . Apply masonry adhesive between the two course . Stagger the pavers by cutting a paver in half with a sozzled saw and using that on the ends .
Step 9
Step 10
ramp up a concrete form for the staircase out of sheets of 1/2 - in plyboard . When complete , the form should resemble a stairway without the treads . The tread are the percentage that you step on .
Step 11
Set the var. for the steps into the opening you depart between the pavers and sate the shape with concrete . polish off the form after the concrete has set for the time specified on the promotional material .
Step 12
Lay the third course of pavers and then excavate the mound to make an 8 - inch gap between the back of the pavers and the front boundary of the hill .
Step 13
sate the gap between the pavers and the hill with drainage aggregate and tamp it down .
Step 14
Step 15
add up more rows of pavers until you attain the top of the J. J. Hill .
Step 16
dig up the ground for the patios and then cover the soil with landscaping framework to stabilize the soil and preclude weeds from growing .
Step 17

Step 19
Step 20
cease the whole tone by using Freemasonry adhesive to bind pavers to the concrete or with bricks and trench mortar .
