Can
you
apply
the
product
to
existing
concrete?
Yes,
as
long
as
the
concrete
is
in
good
condition
with
no
settlement.
Refer
to
the
specifications
page
to
see
installation
directions.
Can
you
apply
the
product
to
existing
asphalt?
It
is
not
recommended
since
asphalt
areas
are
sometimes
installed
with
inferior
sub
base
products.
If
the
sub
base
is
acceptable
it
is
still
recommended
to
remove
any
asphalt
topping.
How
do
you
cut
the
stones?
The
best
methods
are
with
a
stone
splitter
or
gas
saw
with
a
diamond
blade.
You
may
also
use
electric
saws
with
diamond
blades
or
even
a
stone
chisel
and
hammer.
What
patterns
are
available
in
1
5/8" ?
All
of
them.
What
patterns
are
available
in
3/4" ?
Only
the
straight
pattern.
Is
the
color
all
the
way
through
or
just
on
the
surface?
The
color
is
mixed
all
the
way
through
with
liquid
pigment
during
manufacturing.
Can
this
product
be
used
inside?
Yes.
It
is
recommended
to
use
a
masonry
mortar
in
the
joints.
The
mortar
and
stones
should
then
be
sealed
to
help
with
day
to
day
cleaning.
How
do
you
make
repairs
once
the
grout
has
set
up?
Simply
use
a
chisel
and
hammer
and
break
out
the
bad
area,
cut
the
grid
and
re-apply
the
joint
material.
Can
I
pressure
wash
the
stones?
Yes.
How
big
of
an
edge
retainer
do
I
need?
One
that
is
suitable
for
your
area.
Driveways
should
use
a
concrete
edge
with
a
#4
rebar
installed
to
help
strengthen
the
edge
for
any
vehicles.
Walkways
and
patios
on
base
material
may
use
metal
or
plastic
edge
restraints.
What
type
of
cutters
do
I
need
to
cut
the
grids?
Any
snip
will
work
that
is
comparable
to
the
ones
listed
on
our
installation
page.
Do
you
have
a
pool
coping?
No,
but
our
product
works
well
with
other
manufactured
copings.
Can
one
person
install
this
product?
3?4
mats
are
easily
installed
by
one
person.
1
5/8" mats
should
be
installed
with
two
people
due
to
the
weight.
Do
you
have
to
use
epoxy
grout?
No.
You
can
use
fine
gravel
or
stabilized
sand.
Make
sure
the
stabilized
sand
is
used
in
areas
other
than
vehicular
traffic
areas.
What
do
you
do
about
steps
and
landings?
You
may
use
manufactured
coping
for
treads
or
our
stones.
The
risers
may
have
our
product
applied
using
a
mortared
thin
set
and
grouting
with
mortar.
How
do
you
make
a
large
circular
pattern?
You
begin
by
using
2
half
circle
patterns
(HC-01)
and
cutting
the
circular
part
out
of
the
square
surround.
Then
take
straight
patterns
(SP-01)
and
cut
them
into
length-long
strips
and
wrap
them
around
the
circle.
Make
sure
to
leave
a
consistent
grout
joint
between
stones
as
you
continue
around
the
circumference.
As
the
circle
increases
in
size
strips
may
be
increased
in
width
from
1
to
2
stones
wide
or
more.
