Mud-set:

1. Begin by excavating the area and compacting the soil.
2. Add a crushed limestone base (3” – 4” is sufficient).
3. Pour a 4” concrete slab.
4. Add the FlexBond mortar and lay the Travertine Pavers, starting from the edge of the driveway inwards.

Sand-set:

1. Begin by excavating the area and compacting the soil.
2. Add a crushed limestone base (4” – 5” is sufficient). Crushed limestone creates a solid base which will keep the travertine in place over time (without shifting) and allow for proper drainage.
3. Lay a 1” – 2” layer of concrete sand on top of the crushed limestone base.
4. Place the edge of the driveway, using a concrete slab curb, nailed down plastic or even metal edging to hold the pavers into place while installing.
5. Make sure the pavers are as snug as possible for better support.
6. Fill the joints in with polymeric sand.

Smaller sizes are the only ones we suggest using on a driveway. It’s best not to go larger than a 6×12, otherwise you risk cracking over time.
