According to the design drawings, set up formwork around the construction area using materials such as wood planks or metal strips, ensuring even edges. Mix mortar:

Mix cement and sand in proportion, add an appropriate amount of water, stir well to form cement mortar. As needed, add a suitable amount of glue to enhance the bonding strength and durability of the mortar. Lay washed stone:

Once the cement mortar is mixed, spread it evenly across the construction area, with a thickness of approximately 3-5 centimeters.

Spread the washed pebbles evenly over the mortar surface, gently press them down, ensuring each stone is embedded in the mortar. Clean the surface:

At a slight dryness but before full hardening of the mortar, rinse the surface with a hose or high-pressure water to wash away the froth from the mortar, revealing the stone surface. Pay attention to control the water volume and pressure to prevent washing away the stones.

Nursing:

After surface cleaning, proper maintenance is required. Typically, keep the surface moist for 7 days to ensure the mortar fully cures and reaches the designed strength. Use a damp cloth to cover or water regularly to maintain moisture.

Template Removal:

After maintenance, carefully remove the formwork, ensuring the integrity of the edges. If the edges are uneven, use tools for trimming.

Surface Treatment (Optional):

As needed, a transparent protective agent can be applied to the surface to enhance the stain resistance and luster of the water-washed stone.
