of the re pit.

Remove sod and vegetation.
Excavate/remove so soil as required to provide level stone surface at a
minimum of 4" deep.
If required, use landscape blocks to retain stone base.
If soil under sod is hard, soil can be leveled out and used as a base material.

Build the re pit.
Each course will use (15) block "A" circle block landscaping stones.
Dry stack courses 1 through 4 and check t before applying thin set.
Adjust gap and position block as needed.
Mix supplied thin set according to package directions. Apply a thin
layer uniformly using a small trowel between all pieces and courses.
Apply thin set toward the inside of the re pit to prevent it from
potentially squeezing out onto the outside face of the stones.
Level stones by tapping with rubber mallet as needed. Use caution to
avoid squeezing thin set out from between stones.
Adjust the position of units as required to maintain uniform level and
square courses. (Pre-packaged shims, pieces of roof shingles or metal
washers can be used as shims)
For best appearance, the vertical joints of each following course should
align with the center of the stones from the course below. (See Course 4
