Warning: Because of the high-profile (ridged-top) of the RidgeStone™ Series, protection is needed whenusing a plate compactor in order to avoid scratching the surface. The recommended application is the useof a layer between the compactor and the pavers. This can be a mat, cardboard, thin plywood, carpetingor soil separation fabric. CST suggests using one of these separators with All of our paving lines.
All paver sizes are nominal and should be pre-measured when doing a job where exact dimensions are critical.

CST’s Antiqued Texture™ pavers are made using state-of-the-art tumbling technology in order to create a surface which appears more weathered and worn than our standard finish pavers. It helps give the
“Old World” Cobblestone appearance which has become widely popular in today’s hardscape market. Several of our paving stones lines are offered in Antiqued Texture™.
Warning: Because of the high-profile (ridged-top) of the RidgeStone™ Series, protection is needed when using a plate compactor in order to avoid scratching the surface. The recommended application is the use of a layer between the com-pactor and the pavers. This can be a mat, cardboard, thin plywood, carpeting or soil separation fabric. CST suggests using one of these separators with All of our paving lines.

WWhhaatt iiss MMOONNOO--CCAASSTT™??With CST’s MONO-CAST™ process, the strength and colors goes all the way through the paver, the color won’t wear away. CST uses extremely high quality pigments to color our products. Unlike some pavers that have a thin “topcoat,” CST pavers are colored throughout the entire paver.Because of the sun’s ultraviolet rays some overall fading may occur on any pavers.
HHooww ddoo II cclleeaann mmyy PPaavveerrss??CST recommends using one of the many Techni-Seal Cleaners that we offer. Contact your local dealerfor their recommendation on which Techni-Seal cleaner is best for you.
SShhoouulldd II sseeaall mmyy ppaavveerrss??Sealers help in enhancing colors and resisting stains. Techni-Seal has a variety of sealers available,including some that are high gloss, and some that are matte surface. You must wait at least a full season before applying a sealer.
WWiillll wweeeeddss ggrrooww uupp tthhrroouugghh tthhee ppaavveerrss??Weeds do not grow up from below the pavers through the quarry process base. The growth of weedsand grasses results from airborne seeds. Ask your local dealer for their recommendations on whichtype of weed killer to use for your particular application. But for best results, use Techni-SealPolymeric Sand during the installation of your pavers to eliminate weeds, ants, etc.
WWhhaatt iiss eefffflloorreesscceennccee??Efflorescence is a whitish powder-like deposit which sometimes appears on concrete and clay products.The deposit is the residue of a soluble salt (inherent in concrete products) carried to the face of theproduct by moisture and left on the surface as a dried white powder. Efflorescence is completely natu-ral and will disappear with time.
WWiillll ddee--iicciinngg ssaallttss ddaammaaggee ppaavveerrss??Our concrete pavers are high-density units that resist deterioration from de-icing salts better thanasphalt, ordinary poured-in-place concrete and stamped concrete. The best recommended salts are calcium chloride.
WWiillll ssnnooww pplloowwiinngg ddaammaaggee ppaavveerrss??Snow removal is the same as with other pavements. Just plow, shovel or use a snow blower.
DDoo VVeerrssaa--LLookk®® wwaallllss rreeqquuiirree ccoonnccrreettee ffoooottiinnggss bbeellooww tthhee ffrroosstt lliinnee??No. Versa-Lok® walls are installed on shallow, non-rigid leveling pads consisting of well compacted gravel, crushed stone or coarse sand. The flexible nature of the walls allows them to accommodate minor earth movement without damage.
HHooww ttaallll ccaann VVeerrssaa--LLookk®® wwaallllss bbee bbuuiilltt??Generally, Versa-Lok® walls can be built to any height. The maximum unreinforced wall height variesdepending on site conditions, but does not exceed four feet. Taller walls require soil reinforcementdesigned by a qualified engineer.
WWhhaatt mmaaiinntteennaannccee iiss nneecceessssaarryy wwiitthh VVeerrssaa--LLookk®® wwaallllss??None. Once constructed, Versa-Lok® walls provide a lifetime of virtually maintenance-free performance. Color is consistent throughout the units, so natural wear-and-tear is not apparent.

Five-Size Random Pattern
• The Five Size Random pattern is determined by the length of the horizontal and vertical seams. The shorter the straight lines, the more random the pattern. The most random of patterns won’t have seams exceeding the length of all five pieces,either horizontally or vertically. • A random pattern is the best option when using just the Vienna Classic Small Cubesince the piece count won’t work for a 1-to-1-to-1 pattern. The Vienna Classic LargeCube (if used alone) does, however, lend itself to a 2-to1 pattern as shown on thefollowing page.

Warning: Because of the high-profile (ridged-top) ofthe RidgeStone™ Series, protection is needed whenusing a plate compactor in order to avoid scratchingthe surface. The recommended application is the useof a layer between the compactor and the pavers. This can be a mat, cardboard, thin plywood, carpetingor soil separation fabric. CST suggests using one ofthese separators with All of our paving lines.

To find the square footage of a circle, you take the radius (half of thedistance straight across the circle), square it, and multiply by pi (π).
Example: An 8 ft. circleπ= 3.14
The radius of an 8’ circle is 4 ft. Square the 4’ and multiply by pi: 3.14 x 4(2) which equals 3.14 x 16 = 50.24 sq ft. for the circle.
If you know the square footage and want to know what size circle fits, the formula is: Example: 252 sq. ft. area
π r(2) = 252 s/f Divide pi into 252 s/f that will equal r(2) or 81.You must then find the square root of 81 or 9 (square root is the numbermultiplied by itself to equal 81). 9 (the square root of 81) is half thediameter of the circle. Double that, or 9 + 9=a diameter of an 18 footcircle.
To find the circumference of a circle (the outside measurement aroundthe circle):
(pi) π x diameter (the measurement straight across the circle)Example: A 8 ft. circle3.14 x 8’ = 25.12 lineal feet

INTERLOCKING CONCRETE PAVER INSTALLATION:Professionals and do-it-yourselfers alike can install interlocking concrete pavers successfully. You will probably have to rent some
tools that the average homeowner does not have. If you take your time and pay close attention to the base
preparation, you will be pleased with the results.
EXCAVATION:Before digging, always call your local utility company to locate any underground lines.
In general terms, a minimum of 4” of compacted aggregate base is recommended for patios and walkways, and 8” for residential
driveways where freeze/thaw conditions exist. Add 3” for the depth of the bedding sand and the paver thickness to determine the total
depth to excavate. Excavation should be 6” wider than the finished pavement’s dimensions on sides where edge restraint is to be used.
Slope and grade are important to ensure proper runoff. It is best to plan at least a 1/4” per foot drop, but try not to exceed 1/2” per
foot.
BASE PREPARATION:As with any building project, the finished pavers will be only as good as the construction of the base. For this reason, this is
the MOST important part of the installation process.
First, run your plate compactor over the excavated area, making sure that the soil does not get stuck to the bottom of the
plate tamper. Each pass should overlap the previous one by about 4”. Compaction should be performed in one direction
(north-south)then a second time at a right angle (east-west) to the first compaction. It is suggested that a soil separation fabric
be laid down over the compacted sub grade, especially in moist or wet areas, to separate virgin soil from the base.
Now spread your stone base material out evenly in a 2” layer. If material is dry and dusty, use a garden hose to evenly moisten
it down. This will help make the gravel easier to rake and faster to compact.
Starting around the outer perimeter, use the plate compactor to pack together the base, again overlapping each pass about 4”
and working towards the center. You should make at least two complete passes for each layer. Repeat this process for each subse-
quent layer of base material until the final thickness is achieved. After final compaction, check the entire area for proper pitch and
level conditions. The base should now reflect the final grade of your pavers. If you were to place a straight edge on the surface, there
should be no more than a 1/4” gap at any point along the straight edge.
EDGE RESTRAINTS:The borders for your layout design may now be put into place. The edging is laid directly upon the quarry process base and secured
with 10” steel spikes. One spike should be used every (2) feet for walkways and patios and every one (1) foot for driveways and radii.
SAND SETTING BED:A setting bed of concrete sand or granite stone dust can now be spread on top of the compacted base. Note: It is always important
to keep your sand dry. Always keep your sand covered in case of rain. It is suggested that you only screed sand for areas where you
will be laying pavers that same day. Lay the screed guides (1” outside diameter electrical conduit, strips of wood or other suitable
rigid material) on top of the compacted base material 4’- 6’ apart and parallel. For narrow areas such as walkways, the PVC edging can
be used as a guide with a notched 2x4” board. When the pavers are set on the sand and compacted, the 1” of sand will compress to
1/2” to 5/8” thickness.
INSTALLATION OF PAVERS:All projects must start a perfect 90-degree angle. Use the 3-4-5-triangle method to establish this. For an even mix of pavers, select
pavers from multiple cubes for optimum color blending. Starting from a permanent edge such as a house, driveway, or even a piece of
rigid PVC edge restraint, lay your first paver starting from either side. String lines will assist in assuring straight lines. Spacing
between pavers should not exceed 1/8”. Set pavers lightly on the sand, never press or
hammer them in. If you are doing the project over a couple of days, cover the entire area with plastic overnight if rain is expected.
COMPACTING AND SWEEPING:Spread and sweep sand over the entire top of the pavers using a stiff bristle broom. Vibrating with a plate compactor will force the
sand between the joints stabilizing and leveling the final surface. The recommeded application is the use of a layer between the
compactor and the pavers. Excess sand should be swept in the joints. Resweep additionally as necessary.

All paver sizes are nominal and should be pre-measured when doing a job where exact dimensions are critical.

Versa-Lok® Square Foot Corners
33© CST 8/08
Inside 90-degree corners can be easily installedwith no unit modification. For the first course,abut the unit from one side of the corneragainst a unit on the other side that runs pastthe corner. On the next course, simply reversewhich side abuts and which side runs long.
Inside Corners
Outside 90-degree corners can also beinstalled using this method. On each pallet of Versa-Lok® Square Foot, thereare four units with a wider middle neck.Split those for the corners. Using alternat-ing courses one will be a corner piece, onthe next course, use two mitred blocks.This corner cannot be pinned.
Option 2 for Outside Corners
Option 1 for Outside CornersFor ease of installation, Versa-Lok® suggests replacing outside corners with a tight radiusconvex curve, however this is not always possible. Below we have shown one way to makeSquare Foot Corners by modifying and using the block itself.

CornersVERSA-LOK® solid concrete units may beeasily used to create an unlimited variety ofcorners.
Outside 90 degree corner units are easily created by splitting VERSA-LOK® standardunits in half. Alternate half units as shownabove. This creates about a four-inch over-lap of the units below. This is acceptable -Versa-Lok® units do not need to be exactlyhalfway over the lower units (half-bond).
Half units on outside 90 degree cornersdo not pin. It is recommended tosecure them using Versa-Lok® concreteadhesive.
No unit modification is necessary toinstall inside 90 degree corners. Placefull-size standard units as shown below,adjusting for proper vertical jointarrangement.

Versa-Grid® Estimating Chart
40© CST 8/08
These tables are provided for eessttiimmaattiinngg ppuurrppoosseess oonnllyy.. They shouldnot be used or relied upon for any application without verification of accuracy,suitability, and applicability for the use contemplated, which is the soleresponsibility of the user. A final, project specific design should be preparedby a qualified, licensed, professional Civil Engineer (P.E.) based on actual siteconditions. Preparation of these tables did not include consideration or analysis of global slope stability or allowable bearing capacity of foundationsoils. These must be reviewed for each project by a qualified GeotechnicalEngineer.
There are three tables provided in this guide to help estimate geogrid for different wall loading situations--level backfill, sloping backfill, andsurcharges. To estimate geogrid quantities, first look under the ccoolluummnnappropriate for the project soils, determine the height (H) of the proposed wall and read across for the rrooww (under appropriate soil column) to approximate geogrid type, number of layers, and lengths of each layer.
These design charts assume the following conditions:
• Uniform soil conditions
• Stable foundation soils
• Level grade in front of the wall
• No groundwater/water loads
• Slopes and loads behind
the wall as shown
• No additional loading behind wall
(such as tiered walls, building loads, etc.)
Design standards and properties used to develop thses charts were:
• Design methodology-in generalaccordance with NCMA Design
Manual for SRW’s•Unit weight of soil (Y) 120 pcf•Internal friction angle of soil
as shown on charts•Long term design strength of
the geogrid (LTDS)• Versa-Grid® VG 3.0- 1250 lbs/ft

Geogrids with similar LTDS and connection strengths to VERSA-LOK® units can be estimated using these charts. With some variations, the Versa-Grid VG 3.0 charts also generally estimate quantities for Miragrid 3XT, Stratagrid 300, and Raugrid 4/2.
The charts for VERSA-Grid VG 5.0 generally estimate quantities for Miragrid 5XT, Stratagrid 500 and Raugrid 6/3.
This is the exact same chart that is needed for retaining walls built using Versa-Lok® Standard Units and Versa-Lok® Square Foot™ Units.

EACH PANEL REQUIRES 8 SNAP-OFF PINS VERSA-LOK® MOSAIC QUANTITY ESTIMATION CHART
*This chart does not include estimatesfor embedded (buried) units. The quan-tity of embedded units, (generallyStandard units) should be added to theabove numbers.
Each Mosaic panel is 1.66 square feet in wall-face area. For each panel, there is one Standard unit, two Accent® units, and one Cobble® unit. The following formulas and table may be used to estimate quantities of units required for aMosaic® retaining wall project.

Mosaic® Versa-Grid® Estimating Chart
These tables are provided for eessttiimmaattiinngg ppuurrppoosseess oonnllyy. They should notbe used or relied upon for any application without verification of accuracy, suitability, and applicability for the use contemplated, which is the soleresponsibility of the user. A final, project specific design should be preparedby a qualified, licensed, professional Civil Engineer (P.E.) based on actual siteconditions. Preparation of these tables did not include consideration or analysis of global slope stability or allowable bearing capacity of foundationsoils. These must be reviewed for each project by a qualified GeotechnicalEngineer.
There are three tables provided in this guide to help estimate geogrid for dif-ferent wall loading situations--level backfill, sloping backfill, and surcharges.To estimate geogrid quantities, first look under the ccoolluummnn appropriate for the project soils, determine the height (H) of the proposed wall and readacross for the rrooww (under appropriate soil column) to approximate geogridtype, number of layers, and lengths of each layer.
These design charts assume the following conditions:
• Uniform soil conditions
• Stable foundation soils
• Level grade in front of the wall
• No groundwater/water loads
• Slopes and loads behind
the wall as shown
• No additional loading behind wall
(such as tiered walls, building loads, etc.)
Design standards and properties used to develop thses charts were:
• Design methodology-in general
accordance with NCMA Design Manual
for SRW’s
•Unit weight of soil (Y) 120 pcf
•Internal friction angle of soil
as shown on charts
•Long term design strength of
the geogrid (LTDS)
• Versa-Grid® VG 3.0- 1250 lbs/ft
• Versa-Grid® VG 5.0-1875 lbs/ft

Geogrids with similar LTDS and connection strengths to VERSA-LOK® units can be estimated using these charts. With some variations, the Versa-Grid VG 3.0 charts also generally estimate quantities for Miragrid 3XT, Stratagrid 300, and Raugrid 4/2. The charts for VERSA-Grid VG 5.0
generally estimate quantities for Miragrid 5XT, Stratagrid 500 and Raugrid 6/3.

Mosaic Outside 90° Corner:--Center Splitting Method
FIRST COURSE SECOND COURSE
For the first 10-inch-high corner panel, install 6-inch high units in the lower portion. Split aStandard unit to the dimensions shown (Figure A). Place the split Standard unit at the cornerwith a Standard unit and a Cobble® unit at its sides (Figure A). For the corner panel’s upper portion, split an Accent® unit to the dimensions shown (Figure B). Place the split Accent® unit at the corner with the whole Accent® units on both sides (Figure B). Build out from this cornerpanel with regular Mosaic® panels to complete the entire first course.
For the second course, install a 10-inch-high corner panel that is basically a mirror image ofthe corner panel on the first course (Figures C & D). Complete the second 10 inch-high course ofpanels by building Mosaic® panels out from the corner panel. For the remaining courses, repeat the corner panel pattern started on the first course.

FIRST COURSE SECOND COURSE
Mosaic Inside 90° CornersFor the first 10-inch-high course of a 90° inside corner, butt the left side panel into the rightside panel (Figures A & B). This hides part of the right side panel that runs “wild” past the corner. Upper and lower portions of both panels meeting at the corner should have units ofthe same height. In the illustrations below, lower units of the first-course corner panels areall 4-inches high. Modify the left side panel to fit snugly against the setback in the right sidepanel face by saw cutting 3/4-inch off the lower unit (Figure A). Build regular Mosaic® panelsout from the corner panels to complete the first course.On the second course, butt the right side panel into the left side panel and saw the lower rightside unit (Figures C & D). For remaining courses, repeat the corner panel pattern started forthe first course.

Mosaic Outside 90° Corner: Vertical Side Wall At Steps
When building an outside corner at steps, the side wall abutting the steps should be vertical.For the first 10-inch high corner panel, split a Standard and an Accent® unit into halves andcut off the back of the Standard half unit as shown (Figure A). Also cut or split off the rearcorner of a whole Standard unit (Figure A). Place the half-Standard unit at the corner, with acorner-cut Standard unit and a Cobble® unit at its side (Figure A). Above this, place the half-Accent unit at the corner, with whole Accent units at both sides (Figure B). On the nextcourse, install another 10-inch high corner panel similar to the first course panel (Figures C &D). For the remaining courses, repeat the corner panel pattern started on the first course.

Versa-Lok® Accent® & Cobble®
Design Options Using Versa-Lok® Mosaic UnitsAttractive, durable retaining walls can beconstructed using only VERSA-LOK®
Cobble or VERSA-LOK® Accent units.These units offer the same features andbenefits as VERSA-LOK® Mosaic walls,including:
• Classic split-face texture• Setback or near-vertical walls• No mortar or concrete footings required• Great options for tighter radius projects,such as planting areas and tree rings
Maximum height for an unreinforcedVERSA-LOK® Accent or VERSA-LOK®
Cobble wall using a 3/4-inch setback isfour feet. Maximum height for an unre-inforced wall built with a near-verticalsetback is two feet. Individual site, soil,and loading conditions (including ter-races) may limit unreinforced wallheights to less than those stated. Tallerwalls require soil reinforcement andengineering assistance. Please contactyour local VERSA-LOK representative ifunsure about any site, soil, height, orlocal construction requirements.
VERSA-LOK® Accent• 3’0” Minimum Outside Radius
• 1 unit = 36 lbs.

Versa-Lok® Installation Overview
58© CST 9/09
STEP 1-Leveling Pad Preparation: Versa-Lok walls should be placed on a levelingpad of compacted gravel, crushed stone or coarse sand about 6” thick and 24” wide.The first course of Versa-Lok should be embedded below grade approximately1/10th of the exposed wall height. Excavate to lines and grades you’ve establishedfor the wall, allowing for leveling pad and unit embedment.
STEP 2-Install Base Course: Place Versa-Lok units on prepared leveling pad. Asyou proceed, level each unit-front to back, side to side and with adjacent units.Leveling is critical at this stage, so take your time! Align straight wall sections usinga string line or by sighting down the grooves on the top of each unit. If your wallhas a corner, begin at the corner and work out from there.
STEP 3-Backfill: Fill in and compact native soil behind, and in front of, the basecourse level with the grade in front of the wall. Next, place and compact 13” ofdrainage aggregate behind the units.
STEP 4-Installing Successive Courses: Stack one course at a time. Set units back3/4”. Insert two pins in front holes of units so they fall into the rear slots of theunits beneath. Tap pins down with a pin and mallet. Place and compact drainageaggregate behind each course as it is completed.
STEP 5-Geosynthetic Soil Reinforcement: If your wall is higher than four feet orshoulders significant loads, you will need to install geosynthetic soil reinforcement.As each course is laid, place soil reinforcement horizontally on top of compactedbackfill and about one inch from the front of the Versa-Lok units.
STEP 6-Installing Caps: Complete your wall by placing Versa-Lok cap units on thetop course. Install caps with a slight overhang (recommended), set back or flushwith the wall face. Use Versa-Lok concrete adhesive to secure cap units to wall.For further information visit Versa-Lok’s website at:
www.versa-lok.com.
Below is a briefsummary ofVersa-LokInstallation steps:
Maximum height for an unreinforced Versa-Lokwall is four feet.Individual site, soil andloading conditions (includ-ing terraces) may limitunreinforced wall height toless than four feet. Tallerwalls require geosyntheticsolid reinforcement andengineering assistance.For information on engi-neered preliminarydesigns please contactyour local dealer or CSTrepresentative.

Las paredes de Versa-Lok® de la preparación del cojín de nivelación del paso 1 se deben colocar en un cojín
de nivelación de grava condensada, de arena gruesa de piedra machacada cerca, el 6"grueso y 24"de ancho.
El primer curso de Versa-Lok® se debe encajar debajo del 1/10 del grado aproximadamente de la altura
expuesta a la pared. Excave a las líneas y a los grados que usted ha establecido para la pared, teniendo en
cuenta el establecimiento del cojín y de la unidad de nivelación.
El paso 2 instale las unidades bajo de Versa-Lok® del lugar del curso en el cojín de nivelación preparado.
Como usted procede, nivele cada uno unidad-delantero para mover hacia atrás, de lado a lado y con las
unidades adyacentes. La nivelación es crítica en esta etapa, así que tome su tiempo! Alinie las secciones de
pared rectas usando una línea de la secuencia o avistando abajo de los surcos en la tapa de cada unidad. Si
su pared tiene una esquina, comience en la esquina y resuélvase de allí.
El paso 3 rellene completa y condensa el suelo nativo detrás, y delante de la pared. Después, el coloque y
condensa el 12"del agregado del drenaje detrás de las unidades.
Los cursos sucesivos de instalación del paso 4 apilan un curso a la vez. Fije las unidades el 3/4"trasero.
Inserte dos pernos en los agujeros delanteros de las unidades así que caigan en las ranuras posteriores de
las unidades debajo. Golpee ligeramente los pernos abajo con un perno y un mazo. Coloque agrege com-
pacto del drenaje detrás de cada curso como se termine.
Si su pared está más alta de cuatro pies o carga significativa de los hombros, usted necesitará instalar el
refuerzo geosynthetic del suelo. Mientras que se pone cada curso, coloque el refuerzo del suelo encima de
condensado rellena horizontalmente cerca de una pulgada al frente de las unidades de Versa-Lok®.
Termine su pared poniendo unidades del casquillo de Versa-Lok® en el curso superior. Instale los
casquillos con una proyección leve (recomendada), fije detrás de la cara de la pared. Utilice el pegamento
concreto de Versa-Lok® para asegurar las unidades del casquillo a la pared. La altura máxima para una
pared no esfuerzada de Versa-Lok® es cuatro pies. El sitio, el suelo y las condiciones de cargamento indi-
viduales (terrazas incluyendo) pueden limitar altura no esfuerzadas de la pared menos de cuatro pies.
Paredes más altas requieren el refuerzo del suelo y la ayuda geosyntetica diseños de la ingeniería. Para la
información sobre preliminares, contacte con por favor a su distribuidor local o a su representante de CST.
