The Adbri Masonry range of paving products provide unique, practical and beautiful landscape solutions.
Fresh strong colours are the hallmark of this range, colours that blend or contrast naturally with any existing
landscape or structure alike.
These landscaping pavers have been carefully selected to provide extensive choice, reliable quality and practical
installation for the trade or home handy person.

The Adbri Masonry paving range encompasses pavers beginning at brick size and moving all the way through to large
format pavers. Many of these pavers are sized in modules of 100mm meaning that pavers will run in sequence of 100,
200, 300 and 400mm measurements. Modular sizing facilitates the practical combination of different sized pavers into
the one pavement, giving greater flexibility to design, that incorporates contrasting styles or colours as inlays, borders
or highlights.

Most Adbri Masonry pavers come with choice of thickness to differentiate between pedestrian and domestic driveway
applications. Many paving projects incorporate a combination of driveway and pedestrian areas and the paving range
allows the astute buyer to purchase the right paver for the right job.
Using thinner pavers for pedestrian areas saves on excavation, and the cost of pavers, thinner pavers are also lighter
and easier to handle, making them practical for the DIY Handyman.

The additional range of capping and edging products are important accessories in completing many paving projects.
Cappers for low height walls and bullnose pavers for steps and pool edges provide for a professional finish.
The renowned range of retaining wall systems will complement any landscape and blend beautifully with your Adbri
Masonry pavers.
Importantly, all Adbri Masonry landscape products must be installed properly and maintained if they are to stay in
pristine condition. Adbri Masonry have the products but it is essential to follow the recommended installation instructions
or engage a professional tradesperson.

Paver Cutting
You will generally find that some cutting of pavers will be required to fit into specific
areas. An angle grinder with a masonry blade is suitable for good results. On jobs where
a high number of cuts are required or the paving units are large, it is easier to hire a brick
saw with a diamond blade - remember ear muffs, eye protection and a mask.
Edging
It is important to have a good edge restraint to stop the pavers from spreading and to
ensure that the bedding sand is not washed away. Here are two general techniques.

Swimming Pools
Adbri Masonry pavers meet Australian slip resistant standards, making them ideal
for swimming pool surrounds.
Adbri Masonry pavers while being strong and durable have a soft feel, making them
comfortable under bare feet or for sitting along pool edges.
Adbri Masonry manufacture some pavers specifically for salt resistant applications,
necessary for around salt chlorinated swimming pools. This range varies between
States so please consult your local Adbri Masonry distributor or Adbri Masonry
product guide for specific localised advice.
For added protection Adbri Masonry recommend sealing pavers likely to be subjected
to salt attack.
Maintenance
2m
Pavers will require some ongoing maintenance to keep looking in a pristine condition.
Dirt and dust should regularly be removed whilst any weed growth should be sprayed
and controlled. Ants should not be allowed to nest in base materials.
Cleaning
All pavers will require cleaning from time to time. Oil, rust, efflorescence and other
stains can detract from the appearance of the paver. Proprietary cleaning products for
concrete pavers (and retaining walls) are readily available. Please contact your local
distributor or Adbri Masonry for further information. Do not use Hydrochloric Acid.

Notes:
For those who calculate using feet
and inches calculate the total area into
square feet by using the same method
as above and then multiply by .0929
to convert to square metres
When calculating pavers needed add
an additional 3-5%. Allowing for
complexity of the design, cuts and
breaks.
If a more protective surface is required then Adbri Masonry suggest you seal your paving.
There are a number of sealers specifically for concrete paving so please contact your
local distributor or Adbri Masonry for further information.
Note: All coloured product should be ordered at the one time to reduce the risk of batch
variation. No claims will be accepted once product has been installed.
Miniwall Sunstone
Miniwall Oatmeal
retaining wall
Simply the easiest way to create a small wall or garden edge the Miniwall and Minicap systems combine to give
the professional and do-it-yourself landscaper a natural stone finish wall with the simplest of installations.
Able to create concave and convex curves, the Miniwall system requires minimal foundation preparation. Being one
of the lightest walling blocks available and coming pre-split and ready to use, the Miniwall and Minicap systems
are completely user friendly.
Available in a range of colours, the Miniwall system can form the basis of any garden construction, whether that
be a whole garden development or a small planter box.

Curved Radius
Minimum radius for inside curve is 435mm and 615mm for outside curves. As Miniwall
units can produce a tight radius, cumbersome corner units are not required - simply
round the corner off. Half units, if required, can be split or cut from full units using
a masonry cutter.
Hint: 21 units form a circle.
Maximum Heights
The Miniwall system is suitable for walls up to 500mm high (4 courses) where there is
no surcharge loading. A surcharge loading applies when:
A wall is supporting a driveway or other load
There is greater than 3:1 slope above the wall
Another retaining wall above the wall which is less in distance behind the wall than
double the height of the lower wall.
Solid Wall
Larger faces on alternative sides
Laying Instructions
Step 1
Dig a shallow trench, level and place 100mm of crushed rock in the bottom and compact.
Step 2
Spread and level 25mm of coarse sand as a bedding layer. Place the first layer of Miniwall
units onto the sand and tap into place with a mallet. A stringline is essential for building
straight walls. Ensure that each unit is level from front to back and side to side.
Step 3
Stack Miniwall units along the length of the wall to a maximum of 3 rows, ensuring that
each row is offset to the one below. If the wall is acting as a small retainer, install 90mm
agricultural pipe at the rear of the wall for drainage and fill 200mm behind the wall with
drainage material.
Step 4
Before applying Minicap units, place some construction adhesive either side of the interlocking
modules on the Miniwallunits. Position the Minicap units and press firmly into position.
Freestanding Walls
As Miniwall units are stacked vertically and both the front and back of each unit is finished
with an attractive split stone texture, both sides of the wall may be left exposed.
In this situation it is recommended that construction adhesive be used between the upper
courses of the wall.
Outside Curve
S-Curves
To build a solid wall which changes from an inside curve to an outside curve, a half unit
will be required every second course. Use a Minicap unit and perform the cut with
either a masonry saw or splitter.
Inside Curve

Wallstone Charcoal
retaining wall
The Wallstone system has many of the features of other systems but with the added advantage of choice between
a vertical wall or a setback wall. The Wallstone system gives a contemporary feel to an extremely flexible system,
encompassing straight walls, convex or concave curves, right angle corners and formal stairs in 150mm step heights.
The radius of convex walls can be as little as 2400mm and concave walls 2100mm, while the standard and tapered
units can be mixed to achieve appealing designs. Pins, clips or mortar are not required. A compacted gravel-leveling
pad is sufficient in all Wallstone applications.

Laying Instructions
Step 1
Dig a shallow trench, level and place 100mm of crushed rock in the bottom. Level and compact. Allow for 75mm embedment of the
bottom course and 300mm behind the wall for drainage.
Step 2
Spread and level approximately 25mm of coarse sand as a bedding layer then place the first course of Wallstone units. Use a stringline
for creating a straight line, and level from side to side and front to back. Install a 90mm Agricultural Pipe (on grade) at the rear of the
wall for drainage.
Step 3
Fill behind each course with granular rock for drainage and carefully compact. Check each course is level before proceeding and stack
each additional row offsetting from the block below.
Step 4
On the last course of stacking units, place a line of adhesive front and back and place the capping unit. Apply pressure to secure and
use a stringline and level for the best result.
Notes:
Slope the soil above and below the wall to ensure that water will flow away from and not accumulate near the wall
It is advisable to place a dob of adhesive between corner units
If a vertical wall is required then follow the same instructions but remove the narrow section at the top of each unit using a bolster chisel.
