How to Install Granite Cobblestones?


Collect all the required materials for the work, including Granite cobblestones, sand, gravel, mortar, a leveler, trowels, a rubber mallet, and gloves.

Dig three to four inches deep for the base layer of sand and gravel, then level up the site of installation. Press it firmly with the help of compacting or tampering equipment.

To mix the mortar, put a bucket or wheelbarrow and mix cement and sand as instructed on the package. Step aside when mixed. Put an even layer of playground sand or cushioning material over the prepared ground.

Use a leveler to ensure the surface is even and uniform across the entire area where the cobblestones would be laid upon. This is the base layer. Lay down the pattern of the cobblestone by aligning one row of stones along one edge of the area that you would want to lay, then fill up the open spaces.
