QUICK GUIDE

Ground Preparation

1. Clear the Area: Remove any debris, rocks, or vegetation.

2. Level and Slope: Ensure the ground is level. Incorporate a slight slope for water drainage if applicable (typically away from home or structure).

3. Compact Base: Use a tamper to compact the base layer for added stability if needed.

4. Final Leveling: After compaction, recheck the leveling for any needed adjustments.

Laying The Mats

1. Starting Point: Begin at a chosen origin point, preferably on the outer edge of your project, working from one side to the other. If building with a pre-existing structure, begin from its edge.

2. Pattern Selection: Decide on your laying pattern if desired. This can vary based on the mat type and your project's aesthetic.

3. Expansion: Lay mats from the starting point outward, maintaining consistent spacing for uniform grout lines.

Snipping The Mats

1. Customization: If your design requires mats to fit specific shapes or sizes, use snippers to cut the mats to your desired dimensions. Mats can be cut into strips to allow curving. This step is crucial for fitting mats around corners, curves, or going around obstacles in your landscaping project.

2. Measurement and Marking: Before cutting, measure and mark the areas on the mat where adjustments are needed to ensure accuracy and minimize waste. Removed stones can be saved and reused.

Quick Guide to Snipping & Cutting Mats

COBBLE MATS

Snipping Mats for flat end

Small cobbles (highlighted red) can be removed

and placed at the end of another mat to create a flat end.

TERRA SHELLS

Snipping Mats for Glide

Snipping Terra Shell Mat for Glide

Snip the mat at any connection point (Example Snip line in red)
Once pieces are separated. Glide removed pieces to opposite side. Pieces moved to the opposite side will fit back in to the mat

MAKING A CURVED PATH

GLIDE TO CREATE CURVED PATHS
WITH TERRA SHELL

Start by marking the curve on your path using a material that can easily be erased; here, chalk is used as shown in the left image. Once your curve is outlined, begin to cut away the marked pieces. Next, slide the cut away pieces (highlighted in red) across to the opposite side of your path (indicated by the blue arrows). The relocated pieces are highlighted in blue in the image.

STRAIGHT MAT

Snipping Mats for interlocking end

If you are joining two mats together vertically. First remove small end piece, this will allow straight mats to interlock. Piece for removal are highlighted red and can be removed with a strong pair of snippers cutting away attaching grid
