Water-washed stone is a construction technique that has gained popularity in recent years. Its essence is quite similar to the sandblasting method used in the 1960s. While the difficulty in wall construction is greater, the ground construction is not too challenging. However, it is prone to cracking and localized settling. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure the stability of the foundation in both design and construction. In some cases, a reinforced concrete foundation pad should be used. Additionally, settlement joints should generally be set at intervals of 5 to 6 meters.

1. Prior to construction, the subgrade must be cleaned, removing soil and debris, which is done through water washing.

2. Transport the washed stone mixture blended by the mixer into the facility.

3. Spread the washed aggregate mixture evenly, slightly elevated above the sides of the curbs.

4. After laying is complete, use a sturdy, straight wooden ruler to level it out.

5. Smooth the road surface with an iron trowel until cement slurry appears.

Washed stone involves selecting natural river or sea pebbles or gravels as aggregates, mixing them with cement or specialized adhesive in a certain proportion, applying the mixture to the base, flattening it with a load-bearing tool, and then cleaning the surface adhesive to reveal the original appearance of the stones. Washed stone flooring is a commonly used method for ground decoration in landscapes, characterized by its unique grainy texture, glossy finish, and aesthetic color appeal.
