Interlocking Paving Stones
From the Romans’ invention of interlocking
cobblestone roads to modern high-strength
concrete, interlocking paving stones are a
masterpiece of beauty and durability.
McNear interlocking paving stones are renowned
for their rich color blends and beautiful finishes.
Our paving stones come in a myriad of colors,
shapes, and stone textures, and are complemented
by design details such as circle kits, pool copings,
and 1-inch veneers.
Any surface that you might consider paving can be
adorned with McNear paving stones. Common
applications include driveways, patios, pathways,
and pool areas. Unlike poured concrete and asphalt
pavements, interlocking pavements remain flexible
and create a beautiful and crack-proof surface.
Whether you prefer an Old World look or a clean,
modern design, McNear Brick and Block has
crafted interlocking paving stones that fit your
personal style.
Creating Timeless Beauty
in a Changing World
Our product line has also changed. Besides our
many shapes and colors of clay brick, we are
now a leading manufacturer of interlocking
pavers and segmental retaining walls.
Visit our Web site www.mcnear.com, to find
out more about McNear’s products and history.
The days of horse and sail are long gone,
but the landmarks built with our products,
such as Ghirardelli Square and the Golden
Gate Bridge, remain. So too, does our
commitment to beauty and durability.

McNear Brick & Block opened in 1868 to
support the gold-fueled construction
boom in San Francisco and surrounding Bay
Area cities. Back then, our workers made bricks
by hand and used wheelbarrows to load them
onto scow schooners for delivery to the
many small ports lining San Francisco Bay.

Q&A
Canyon Cobble
Canyon Cobble is the newest addition
to the McNear family of Paving Stones.
Canyon Cobble has the same rounded
edges as Cobblestone, but with the patina
of age that comes from scuffs, scratches
and small chips.

canyon cobble: color selection
Q: What are the benefits of McNear paving stones over
asphalt or concrete?
A: McNear paving stones are designed to last for generations
and require very little maintenance. Unlike concrete or asphalt,
when properly installed, an interlocking paver surface will
never crack. McNear pavers come in a wide range of styles,
sizes and surface textures, as well as a host of colors. With so
many options, you can achieve an arrangement which will
complement any style of building or surrounding.
Q: What should be done to keep the paving stones clean
and beautiful?
A: McNear recommends using a professional paver cleaner
and/or sealer to help protect your paving stones against tire
tracks, oil, paint and other harmful substances. If you have
moss or mold on your pavers, try a 10 to 1 mixture of water
and bleach. Other than that, a simple wash with a hose and
scrub brush will generally refresh the look of your McNear
paving stones.
Interlocking paving stones are modular, which allow them to
conform to uneven ground and accommodate shifts over time.
Repairs to cracked or buckled concrete can prove costly, and
matching the existing color or texture is virtually impossible.
Instead, individual pavers can be removed and easily replaced
without leaving a tell-tale patchwork effect. Pavers can also be
removed to access underground utilities.
Q: What is the difference between stock colors and
non-stock colors?
A: McNear stocks a specific selection of paver colors and styles
so that they are generally available for immediate shipment.
Non-stock and custom colors may take from a few days to a
few weeks to produce.
McNear paving stones are more appealing than a dull sea of
concrete or slick black mass of asphalt. And although stamping
concrete adds more visual interest, it requires expansion joints
every ten feet which may distract from the overall pattern.
Pavers are about three times as strong as regular poured
concrete and realtors agree that the installation of a paver
driveway, instead of concrete or asphalt, can significantly
increase a home’s value.
Q: How are interlocking paving stones installed?
A: There are six main steps in paver installation (refer to page 37).
The combination of the installation pattern, edge restraint,
and joint sand causes them to “interlock” into one unified
but flexible surface.

Colors and shades printed here are as true a match as the printing process will allow. For best matching results, please refer to actual samples.
Q: Can paving stones be laid over existing asphalt or concrete?
A: Yes, if the existing pavements are in good condition. If the
pavement state is poor (major cracks, heaving, settling, potholes,
etc.), it might be better to start over and build up the base system
properly. Other considerations are the threshold clearance
(needs to accept the thickness of the pavers and sand) and
how the pavers will be joined with existing pavements
(garage surfaces, sidewalks, etc.). If your pavement is found
suitable: 1) lay a woven geotextile between the pavement
and the sand, 2) use an adequate edge restraint to hold
pavers and sand bedding course, and 3) remove enough of
the existing pavement to allow the pavers to taper down to
adjoining surfaces.

A: If you’d like to see actual samples of our products, come

A. Visit our Web site at www.mcnear.com and click on the
link to the Materials Estimator Tool. You can choose the color
and pattern of the pavers you want and enter in your basic
required dimensions. The Materials Estimator Tool will estimate
the quantity you need including base rock, sand, edging and
accessories.

Paving Stones Installation in
Six Easy Steps
For those who prefer to do-it-themselves,
paver installation is not overly complicated.
However, the labor is hard work and the
equipment would most likely need to be rented
as it is specific to this type of work.
McNear Brick & Block recommends that
homeowners hire a professional to install
interlocking paving stones. The installation
information below is primarily for professionals.
1. Compact the Area
Excavate to the proper design depth (see diagram). Remove all
surplus unsuitable sub-base material. Compact the area, which
has been cleared, then backfill the area with aggregate suitable
for base material. The depth of the base should be 3-4 inches for
pedestrian sidewalks and patios, 6-8 inches for light vehicular
traffic, and 8-12 inches for heavy vehicular and industrial use
or as otherwise directed by the Project Engineer, Architect, or
Landscape Architect. Compact the base to 95% density.
Typical Installation
2. Screed the Sand
Spread concrete sand evenly over the base and screed to a
uniform depth of 1-11/2 inches up to the edge. Note that edge
restraints can be of various types, such as concrete, wood,
plastic pavement edging, etc. The screeded sand should not
be disturbed until the pavers are laid.
3. Lay the Pavers
Install the pavers in the desired pattern 1/4 inch above final
grade. Care should be taken to achieve the desired color
distribution, keeping in mind that even solid colors have some
variation in color and texture. These pavers should have a snug
fit with the integral ribs providing the correct clearance between
adjoining stones. Use a fracture tool or saw to neatly cut the
paving stones when required.
4. Clean the Paved Area
Sweep the newly paved area clean. This removes installation
debris (bits of base rock, concrete, and concrete sand) that
would scar the pavers when sanding the joints in Step 5.
5. Sand the Joints
Sweep a fine dry sand over the pavers and into the joints. Vibrate
the pavers into the bedding sand with a plate vibrator. This piece
of equipment should be capable of 3000-5000 lbs. centrifugal
compaction force, and operate at a frequency of 80 to 90 hertz.
At least two passes with the vibrator should be made across the
surface, or until the joints are full. Use a plate vibrator outfitted
with a rubber pad to prevent scarring the pavers, or place some
sort of durable padding (such as an old piece of carpet or
rubberized mat) under the vibrating plate, and maintain a layer
of sand between the plate and the paver surface.
6. Sweep the Sand
Sweep off the excess sand. The paver surface is now ready for
use or sealing (see page 34 for Q&A on sealing pavers).

Bullnose Paver Installation
There are two recommended options for bullnose
installation: mortared-in-place using standard masonry
procedures, or glued down with a high strength flexible
concrete adhesive. Bullnose pavers are typically installed
with a 1/2”-1” overhang.
Note: Be careful not to get any mortar or adhesive on the
paver surface as it is very difficult to remove. Check mortar
and adhesive manufacturer’s instructions for handling,
clean-up and cure time.
Mortared-in-Place
Lay out the bullnose pavers in the area where they are
to be installed, leaving a 3/8” gap for the mortar between
pavers. Remove the pavers and place an appropriate
thickness of mortar on the material to which they are being
affixed. Carefully return the pavers to their appropriate
places and press into the mortar being careful not to get
any on the paver surface. Fill joints between the bullnose
pavers with mortar.
High Strength, Flexible Concrete Adhesive
Lay out the bullnose pavers in the area where they are to be
installed, abutting one to another. Following the directions
of the adhesive manufacturer, remove the pavers and run
two continuous beads of adhesive on the material to which
they are being affixed, one towards the front of the bullnose
paver and one towards the rear. Carefully return the pavers
to their appropriate place and press into the adhesive, being
careful not to get any on the paver surface.
