Water-washed stone is a construction technique that has gained increasing popularity in recent years. It primarily involves mixing natural river or sea pebbles or gravels with cement in proportion and applying the mixture to the base. After being flattened with a load-bearing tool, the surface adhesive is removed, revealing the natural appearance of the stones. Due to the wide variety of colors and shapes of its raw materials, it can be used to decorate various patterns and designs. It is widely used in interior decoration and exterior landscape shaping, and some large-area exterior wall finishes also utilize water-washed stone, exuding a natural and simple feel.

Before construction, the subgrade must be cleaned, removing soil and debris. This is done by rinsing with water.

2. Transport the water-washed aggregate mixture, stirred by the mixer, to the site.

3. Spread the washed stone mixture evenly, slightly elevated above the curbs on both sides.

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

5. Use an iron trowel to level the pavement until the cement float is visible.

6. Remove the cement froth from the road surface with a sponge, applying even pressure.

7. Roadwork Completed

Protective Maintenance:

To maintain the road surface during hot weather, it's necessary to water and care for it irregularly. After 3 to 5 days, as needed, cutting and sealing can be performed. If required, apply a sealing protective agent and color it for enhanced brightness (depending on road safety and anti-slip properties). During the maintenance phase, it is imperative to prohibit unauthorized personnel from entering or conducting construction operations for other projects.

Water-washed stone is a decorative technique that involves mixing natural river or sea pebbles or gravels with cement in a certain proportion, spreading it on the base, flattening it with a load-bearing tool, cleaning the surface adhesive, and revealing the original appearance of the stones. It is similar to the water-washed stone technique that was popular in the 70s and 80s. While the wall construction is more challenging, the ground construction is not as difficult, but it is prone to cracking and local settlement. Therefore, the foundation design and construction must ensure the stability of the subgrade, and it is necessary to use reinforced concrete foundation pads. Additionally, settlement joints should generally be set every 5 to 6 meters.
