Appreciate the Outdoor Views with Your Sunroom or Lanai by FabriTech

view? The sun is shining before your eyes and you take a sip on your hot coffee and lean

Concrete and Brick Paver Project Design and Installation in Bonita Springs

To have a successful paver project, all it takes is to have the right building materials that 
will provide the design and durability that you desire. Either on your backyard, swimming 
pool area or patio, you too can beautify and expand your dream outdoor living space 
project. For a total project experience from design to completion, call Fabri-Tech today!   

Design Aesthetically

Concrete and brick materials are the most popular choice for paver projects. Both are 
versatile and flexible that can offer design options or alternatives such as color, texture, 
and suitability. A wide variety of pavers are available to explore and express your creativity 
by blending or mixing up the colors, shapes, and sizes without costing a lot of fortune.            

Installation of Pavers

1st  Step: Do Research.

Make a research on computers on how to do it from different sources like search 
engines- Google.com and video tutorials-Youtube.com websites. You will widen your 
concepts on different perspectives and approaches. Make a list of all the materials you 
would need and organize them all together so it would be easy as you work through. 
A safety reminder: before starting the project always wear safety gear or protective 
mask, gloves or face masks.

2nd Step: Planning and determining the project area.      

In determining the project area’s size and shape, use pen and pencil in making a graph 
to begin a conceptualized design format, with a level and a garden hose. Widely spread 
out the garden rose by using 2 x 4s to know the straight edges. Use the graphing paper 
in making a mosaic pattern sketch, or make additions by drawing the pool or garden 
sketch by changing colors and patterns.

In getting the correct slope to use the level and a 2 x 4. There should be drainage where 
the pavers should slope at a rate of 1 inch for every 5 to 8 feet. Next, use the spray paint 
to outline the pavement edges of 5 to 8 inches. After knowing the shape and size, 
estimate how many pavers you would need. Just add an extra 5 to 10 percent of the 
total pavers for unaccounted or missed counting of estimates.   

3rd Step: Excavation.

Next, is the height of the project. Use any immovable permanent structure of the house 
as the reference point. Put the stakes at intervals along the outline of the project.  Use 
the 2x4 by running the board from the abutting structure to a stake. Check the board is 
at its level, do markings at the stake for that point, and then the next based on the 
determined slope. To indicate the desired finished height across the site’s length, use 
strings tied to the stakes. 

Before making an excavation, lay the correct amount of bedding sand, aggregate stone 
base, and pavers. Excavate by below the desired surface height allowing for the base 
and sand layers. Properly estimate your calculation in determining the depth as to the 
thickness of the base, sand and paver layers. Next is to prepare the surface for the 
aggregate base by compacting the soil with a plate compactor. Make sure to remove 
standing water, rocks or other protrusions against bumps or depressions.   

4th Step: Laying the base.

It is advisable to use crushed rock to the base, it is the most often used material for 
base layering. Ordinarily, 4 inches of the base is enough.  Next, using a mechanical 
plate compactor compacts the base on a 3-inch layer. Let the compactor do in a 
circular motion at least twice all over the area.

5th Step: Restraining

To hold intact the concrete pavers and the base, edge restraints are used. Without it,
 the pavers will move and the base can erode. Usually, restraints are made of steel, 
aluminum, precast concrete or plastic. Use 12-inch spikes to make sure the plastic 
or metal edge restraints would not move.    

6th Step: Putting the sand.

Sand is used for the final layering. It is advisable to use coarse sand, the one used to 
make concrete and avoid using stone dust or limestone screenings.

7th Step: Pavers placement. 

Placing the pavers is the simplest part of this project. Use the height string as a guide 
for pavers with patterns. The pavers should be tightly fit near each other in a correct 
laying pattern. Use masonry saw or mechanical splitters to cut the edges of pavers, 
if necessary. Completely lay all the whole layers in place before placing the cut 
pavers. And tighten the pavers in place against the bedding sand by using a plate 
compactor. Lastly, sweep the same coarse sand used for bedding the pavers in 
between the joints, and compact the surface area again with sand until all joints are 
full. 

Congratulations on a job well done, and now you can enjoy your new paver project 
with success.

Benefits and Advantages of Aluminum Canopies in Fort Myers

Aluminum canopies have taken over as the most popular sun-control solution for  
commercial properties in Fort Myers. Fabri Tech has experience and involvement 
in this industry, we know first-hand that aluminum canopies in Fort Myers have 
garnered significant interest and growth as Fabri Tech innovates, diversify, and

Aluminum canopies in Bonita Springs, aluminum canopies in Naples, aluminum 
canopies Cape Coral, Port Charlotte and North Port are practical and appealing 
to the eye, aluminum canopies have become the obvious choice for various 
commercial applications. Here is the reason why aluminum canopy is preferable 
for commercial properties. 

• Aluminum canopies are sturdy. Despite being lightweight and easy on your 
  building structure these canopies can withstand all sorts of weather conditions

• Aluminum is less prone to rusting. Any other canopy made from different 
  materials other than aluminum would require a fresh coat of paint every two 
  or three years. An aluminum canopy looks great because it’s resistant to 
  wear and tear

• Aluminum canopies are designed in an innovative and stylish manner. So
  they also improve the aesthetic appeal of your commercial space. 

• Aluminum canopy does not rust. We typically see finished aluminum canopies 
  last six or seven years without showing obvious signs of wear and tear.

• Even though aluminum canopies are composed of durable structural 
  members, they are light enough that most canopy systems can be installed 
  without heavy equipment. Our technicians at Fabri Tech typically need 
  nothing more than the building materials and ladders to install your aluminum 
  canopy. 

• Businesses with storefront displays can reap many rewards from installing 
  an aluminum canopy. Sun can heat stores with large windows, and sunlight 
  can cause furniture and artwork to fade. Installing an aluminum canopy can 
  keep the interior of your store cool, decreasing cooling costs for your 
  business. Restaurants, bars, and cafes can benefit from shade structures as 
  well. An aluminum canopy can create a welcoming, cool, and sheltered outdoor 
  dining area that increases a business’s usable space while attracting 
  customers with the sights, smells, and sounds of the establishment’s food 
  offerings.
