  • For heavier traffic areas, contact TechniSoil Support

Top Tips for SANDPAVE PRO

  1. SANDPAVE PRO installation and curing phases require an ambient and surface temperature range of 40°-110° F. (12.7-32.2 C).
  2. SANDPAVE PRO will full cure within 72 hours Do not use the surface until while the material is uncured.
  3. AVOID WET CONDITIONS! Do not install SANDPAVE PRO  24 hours before or after rainfall. In excessively wet conditions, allow surface materials and project area to dry.
  4. Always crown or slope finished grade of a SANDPAVE PRO project to allow for sufficient drainage, runoff, and ground water levels.
  5. A 2-4″ (5-10 cm) subbase layer and 2″ (5 cm) surface material layer will provide the optimal structure, durability and solidity of a SANDPAVE PRO-treated surface
  6. Use Concrete Sand only, not even graded sand.
  7.  Follow manufacturer coverage rates
  8. NO COMPACTION REQUIRED
  9. Mix thoroughly until all sand particles are coated (7-10 minutes) 
  10. Use a mortar mixer with paddles (not a drum mixer).
  11. Apply non-stick spray (Pam, WD-40, etc.) to tools for easy cleanup

Preparation

  • Always consider proper slope and finished grade of a SANDPAVE PRO project to allow for proper drainage and runoff, as well as ease of use with adjacent structures or landscaping. Avoid any low spots.
  • For light weight paths and patios, use marker paint to outline the project areas.
  • Calculate the square footage of the project area to determine material quantities needed for all aspects of the project.
  • Consider methods for excavation and removal of native soil or existing structures, as well as transportation, delivery, and installation of new materials.

Prepare subgrade

  • Excavate project area accordingly. Considering the subbase layer and crushed stone mix layer, it is recommended to excavate the subgrade approximately 4-6″ (10-15 cm) below finish grade.
  • Weed or landscape fabric is not needed.
  • Use vibratory plate compactor to compact native subgrade as needed for adequate compaction.

Edge restraints

  • Edge restraints are recommended for best results, optimal stability, and can greatly reduce degradation of edges caused by foot traffic or otherwise.
  • Edge restraints should not be higher than surface layer finish grade.
  • If project does not call for installation of edge restraints, proper compaction of edges is required, typically using a hand tamp.
  • Some common examples of edge restraints used in this capacity are;
  • Concrete landscape curbing
  • Bender board
  • Plastic or aluminum edging
  • Pressure treated lumber

Install subbase

  • Be sure to consider proper slope when constructing subbase to allow for proper water runoff. Do not slope a surface towards structures like houses, sheds, pools, or otherwise without considering proper drainage channels or runoff issues.
  • Subgrade should consist of at least 2-4″ (5-10 cm) of compacted 3/8-3/4″ (1-1.9 cm) minus structural base rock or adequate crushed stone mix for subgrade construction to provide optimal load bearing support for the SANDPAVE PRO stabilized surface.
  • Use vibratory plate compactor to compact subgrade 3-4 passes, or as needed for adequate compaction. If subbase material is dry, a light amount or water may be needed for proper compaction.
  • Consider slope during installation of material. Proper finished grade slope or crowning of the surface will ensure adequate runoff for drainage purposes.

Installation of SANDPAVE PRO

STEPS:

  • For optimal results the sand is required to be moisture free. If needed allow to dry for 24-48 hours before use.
  • Weigh sand in 5-gallon pails. 1-gallon of SANDPAVE PRO will be mixed with 150 lbs. of sand in a mortar/vertical paddle mixer for 7+ minutes or until the sand is fully coated.
  • Use a wheelbarrow to transport the mixture of sand and SANDPAVE PRO from the mixer to the installation site.
  • Dump mixture from the wheelbarrow onto the surface and level with a landscape rake. Use a screed and/or masonry trowel to smooth the surface to the desired grade. NO COMPACTION IS NEEDED!
  • Allow 24-72 hours for the SANDPAVE PRO surface to fully cure.
  • Clean up tools with a non-stick spray such as PAM or WD-40 

COVERAGE GUIDELINES

  • Use Concrete Sand only, not even graded sand.
  • Concrete Sand’s mixed particle sizes create a stronger bond.
  • Allow 48 hours cure time before use.
  • Tools needed: Wheelbarrow, Square-Edge Shovel, Masonry Trowel.
  • Use a vertical paddle mortar mixer, not a drum mixer.
  • Mix sand and binder for 7+ minutes until fully combined.
  • SandPave Pro is for pedestrian surfaces only.

Cure Times for SANDPAVE PRO

SANDPAVE PRO will usually cure within 24-72 hours in optimal conditions.

Cleanup

Immediately after use use a non-stick spray such as, PAM and/or WD-40

Storage of SANDPAVE PRO

Store SANDPAVE PRO out of direct sunlight in areas with a temperature range of 40°-90° F (4.4-32.2 C).

Maintenance

To maintain a SANDPAVE PRO-treated surface, use a 3/8″ nap roller and apply a roll-coat over the surface at a rate of 200 sf./ gallon.

Maintenance is based upon weather and the amount of usage, and is usually is recommended every 2-4 years.

To make any small repairs from mate rial displacement, mix concrete sand and SANDPAVE PRO in a 5-gallon bucket with a hand-drill and paddle mixer. After mixed, apply to the affected areas and smooth out with a masonry trowel.

Allow 6-12 hours of curing for a MAINTENANCE roll-coat, and 24 hours of cure time for any repairs.
