CONSTRUCTION TIPS
RUSTIC PATIO: OPTION A
• Excavate a 20-foot x 22-foot area. Prepare a paver base as detailed in the Rosetta by Brown’s Technical
Guide. Keep in mind during the excavation that in the finished installation, the top of the Grand Flagstone
will be a minimum of 83/4 inches above the lowest point of the excavated area.
• Once the base has been prepared, lay the Grand Flagstone in layers, as shown in Diagram 1.
• Once the Grand Flagstone is laid out, locate the center of the patio. From this center point, use a string
and a carpenter’s pencil to draw two circles, one with a radius of 9 feet, the other with a radius of 2 feet
41⁄2 inches, as shown in Diagram 2. These will be the outside circumference of the Grand Flagstone, and
the circumference of the Belvedere Fire Pit, respectively.
• Once the circles have been marked, trim the Grand Flagstone along the pencil line using a gas-powered
cut-off saw with a diamond-coated concrete blade. A hand-grinder or smaller saw may be required to
trim the smaller Belvedere Fire Pit circle.
• Remove the trimmed flagstone pieces. If large or unused pieces remain, they can be used as
informal stepping stone paths leading to or from the patio.
• Prepare the freestanding Belvedere Wall base along the perimeter of the patio, as detailed in the
Rosetta by Brown’s Technical Guide. The finished freestanding wall will span 24 feet.
• Build the freestanding Belvedere Wall as shown in Diagram 3. Be sure to use landscape block
adhesive between all courses of block.
• Install Dimensional Coping across the top of the freestanding Belvedere Wall. See Diagram 4 for
approximate trimmed dimensions of the coping pieces to make the correct radius atop the wall.
Begin with a finished end piece, and after that, alternate between long and short pieces to complete
the radius. Check the pieces as you go to ensure that the radius is correct. The final finished end
piece may need to be trimmed to a custom length. The coping will overhang the front and back of
the wall by approximately 13/4 inches.
• Install the Belvedere Firepit as detailed in the Rosetta by Brown’s Technical Guide.
• Secure the exposed perimeter of the Grand Flagstone with a low-profile paver edging. A minimum
of one stake should be used for every two feet of paver edging (minimum 18 stakes).
• Sweep the patio of dust and debris. Install a jointing material such as paver sand or polymeric sand.
Grade topsoil or other finish media to the secured edge of the Grand Flagstone. Plant grass, sod, or
landscape plants as desired.
These tips are intended as a supplement to the Rosetta by Brown’s Technical Guide, which contains detailed installation
instructions for all Rosetta by Brown’s products. Get one from your local Rosetta by Brown’s dealer, or download the
Technical Guide at www.brownsconcrete.com.

CONSTRUCTION TIPS
RUSTIC PATIO: OPTION B
• Excavate a 32-foot x 23-foot area. Prepare a paver base as detailed in the Rosetta by Brown’s Technical Guide.
Keep in mind during excavation that in the finished installation, the top of the Grand Flagstone will be a minimum
of 8 ⁄ inches above the lowest point of the excavated area.
• Once the base has been prepared, lay the Grand Flagstone in layers, as shown in Diagram 1.
• Once the Grand Flagstone is laid out, use Diagram 2 to locate the placement of the radii that will be used to
create the perimeter of the patio as well as the Belvedere Fire Pit.
• Once the perimeter of the patio has been marked, trim the Grand Flagstone along the line using a gaspowered cut-off saw with a diamond-coated concrete blade. A hand-grinder or smaller saw may be
required to trim the smaller Belvedere Fire Pit circle.
• Remove the trimmed flagstone pieces. If large or unused pieces remain, they can be used as informal
stepping stone paths leading to or from the patio.
• Prepare the freestanding Belvedere Wall base along the perimeter of the patio, as detailed in the Rosetta
by Brown’s Technical Guide. The finished freestanding wall will span 24 feet plus 2 feet on each end for the
Belvedere Columns.
• Build the freestanding Belvedere Wall as shown in Diagram 3. Be sure to use landscape block adhesive
between all courses of block.
• When you get to the ends of the wall, the Grand Flagstone will have to be trimmed to accommodate the
Belvedere Column. The column has a footprint of 24 inches x 24 inches.
• Construct the Belvedere columns as detailed in the Rosetta by Brown’s Technical Guide. (Optional: for additional
wall stability, build the wall “into” the column as shown in Diagram 4).
• Lay the New Mission patio border around the exposed patio edge. Trimming should not be
necessary except for the final paver (there will be small gaps; this is fine).
• Secure the exposed perimeter of the New Mission Pavers with paver edging. A minimum of one stake
should be used for every 2 feet of paver edging (minimum 30 stakes).
• Install Dimensional Coping across the top of the freestanding Belvedere Wall. See Diagram 3 for approximate
trimmed dimensions of the coping pieces to make the correct radius atop the wall. Begin with a finished end
piece, and after that, alternate between long and short pieces to complete the radius. Check the pieces as
you go to ensure that the radius is correct. The final finished end piece may need to be trimmed to a custom
length. The coping will overhang the front and back of the wall by approximately 13/4 inches.
• Place the column caps atop the Belvedere Columns.
• Install the Belvedere Firepit as detailed in the Rosetta by Brown’s Technical Guide.
• Sweep the patio of dust and debris. Install a jointing material such as paver sand or polymeric sand. Grade
topsoil or other finish media to the secured edge of the patio. Plant grass, sod or landscape plants as desired.

CONSTRUCTION TIPS
RUSTIC PATIO: OPTION C
• Excavate a 32-foot x 23-foot area. Prepare a paver base as detailed in the Rosetta by Brown’s Technical Guide. Keep in
mind during excavation that in the finished installation, the top of the Grand Flagstone will be a minimum of 8 ⁄ inches
above the lowest point of the excavated area.
• Once the base has been prepared, lay the Grand Flagstone in layers, as shown in Diagram 1.
• Once the Grand Flagstone is laid out, use Diagram 2 to locate the placement of the radii that will be used to
create the perimeter of the patio as well as the Belvedere Fire Pit.
• Mark the outline of the footprint of the Belvedere Fire Place (+/- 72 inches x 44 inches). The Belvedere Fire
Place can be located anywhere along the perimeter of the larger circle. The center of the front edge of the
hearth is to be placed 67 inches from the center point of the circle.
• Once the perimeter of the patio and the footprint of the Belvedere Fire Place have been marked, trim the
Grand Flagstone along the line using a gas-powered cut-off saw with a diamond-coated concrete blade.
A hand-grinder or smaller saw may be required to trim the smaller Belvedered Fire Pit circle.
• Remove the trimmed flagstone pieces. If large or unused pieces remain, they can be used as informal
stepping stone paths leading to or from the patio.
• Install the Belvedere Fire Place as detailed in the Rosetta by Brown’s Technical Guide. A few pieces of flagstone
may need to be removed during the installation of the Belvedere Fire Place.
• Prepare the freestanding Belvedere Wall base along the perimeter of the patio, as detailed in the Rosetta by Brown’s
Technical Guide. The finished freestanding wall will span 24 feet plus 2 feet on each end for the Belvedere Columns.
• Build the freestanding Belvedere Wall as shown in Diagram 4. Be sure to use landscape block adhesive
between all courses of block.
• When you get to the ends of the wall, the Grand Flagstone will have to be trimmed to accommodate the
Belvedere Column. The column has a footprint of 24 inches x 24 inches.
• Construct the Belvedere Columns as detailed in the Rosetta by Browns Technical Guide.
(Optional: For additional wall stability, build the wall “into” the column as shown in Diagram 5).
• Lay the New Mission patio border around the exposed patio edge. Trimming should not be necessary except for
the final paver (the will be small gaps; this is fine).
• Secure the exposed perimeter of the New Mission Pavers with paver edging. A minimum of one stake should
be used for every 2 feet of paver edging (minimum 25 stakes).
• Install Dimensional Coping across the top of the freestanding Belvedere Wall. See Diagram 6 for
approximate trimmed dimensions of the coping pieces to make the correct radius atop the wall. Begin with a
finished end piece, and after that, alternate between long and short pieces to complete the radius. Check the
pieces as you go to ensure that the radius is correct. The final finished end piece may need to be trimmed to
a custom length. The coping will overhang the front and back of the wall by approximately 13/4 inches.
• Place the column caps atop the Belvedere Columns.
• Install the Belvedere Fire Pit as detailed in the Rosetta by Brown’s Technical Guide.
• Lay a Superior Stepping Stone walking path as shown in Diagram 3. See the Rosetta by Brown’s Technical
Guide for detailed installation instructions.
• Sweep the patio of dust and debris. Install a jointing material such as paver sand or polymeric sand. Grade
topsoil or other finish media to the secured edge of the patio. Plant grass, sod or landscape plants as
desired.

CONSTRUCTION TIPS
FORMAL PATIO: OPTION A
• Excavate a 17-foot x 17-foot area where the patio will be located. Prepare a paver base as detailed in the
Rosetta by Brown’s Technical Guide. Keep in mind during excavation that in the finished installation, the
top of the Dimensional Flagstone will be a minimum of 9 inches above the lowest point of the excavated area.
• Once the base has been prepared, lay the Dimensional Flagstone as shown in the pattern on Diagram 2.
This pattern will allow you to build the patio utilizing all of the flagstone with no wasted pieces, and with no
need to trim pieces.
• Prepare the freestanding Rockton Wall base along the perimeter of the patio, as detailed in the Rosetta by
Brown’s Technical Guide. The finished freestanding wall will span two adjoining sides of the patio.
• Starting in the corner, build the freestanding Rockton Wall as detailed in the Rosetta Technical Guide.
Use corner blocks on the ends and corner of the wall. Be sure to use landscape block adhesive between
all courses of block.
• Install Dimensional Coping across the top of the freestanding Rockton Wall as detailed in the Rosetta by
Brown’s Technical Guide. Use landscape block adhesive to adhere the coping to the wall. The coping will
overhang the front and back of the wall approximately 1 inch. Trimming may be required on 1-3 pieces
of coping.
• Install the Dimensional Fire Pit as detailed in the Rosetta by Brown’s Technical Guide. There will be
approximately a 2-inch gap between the Dimensional Fire Pit and the Dimensional Flagstone.
• Secure the exposed perimeter of the Dimensional Flagstone with a low-profile paver edging. A minimum of
one stake should be used for every two feet of paver edging (minimum 16 stakes).
• Sweep the patio free of dust and debris. Install a jointing material such as paver sand or polymeric sand.
Grade topsoil or other finish media to the secured edge of the Dimensional Flagstone. Plant grass, sod or
landscape plants as desired.
These tips are intended as a supplement to the Rosetta by Brown’s Technical Guide, which contains detailed installation
instructions for all Rosetta by Brown’s products. Get one from your local Rosetta by Brown’s dealer, or download the
Technical Guide at www.brownsconcrete.com.

trimming.
• Install the Linear Flagstone border around the perimeter of the Dimensional Flagstone, and along the interior
of the Dimensional Fire Pit Area. Some trimming of Linear Flagstone pieces will be required to complete the
installation. Also, make note of the location of the Rockton Columns, as they interrupt the Linear Flagstone
Border.
• Prepare the freestanding Rockton Wall base along the perimeter of the patio, as detailed in the Rosetta by
Brown’s Technical Guide. The finished freestanding wall will span two adjoining sides of the patio.
• Starting in the corner, build the freestanding Rockton Wall as detailed in the Rosetta by Brown’s Technical
Guide. Be sure to use landscaping adhesive between all courses of block. The freestanding Rockton Wall will
be 4 courses high (18 inches above finish grade before the coping is installed).
• Construct the Rockton Columns as detailed in the Rosetta by Brown’s Technical Guide.
(Optional: For additional wall stability, build the wall “into” the column as shown in Diagram 3).
• Install Dimensional Coping across the top of the freestanding Rockton Wall as detailed in the Rosetta by
Brown’s Technical Guide. Use landscape block adhesive to adhere the coping to the wall. The coping
will overhang the front and back of the wall approximately 1 inch.
• Place the column caps atop the Rockton Columns.
• Install the Dimensional Fire Pit as detailed in the Rosetta by Brown’s Technical Guide. There will be approximately a ⁄ -inch gap between the Dimensional Fire Pit, follow the guide in Diagram 4).
• Secure the exposed perimeter of the Linear Flagstone with a low-profile paver edging. A minimum
of 1 stake should be used for every 2 feet of paver edging (minimum 30 stakes).
• Sweep the patio free of dust and debris. Install a jointing material such as paver sand or polymeric sand.
Grade topsoil or other finish media to the secured edge of the Dimensional Flagstone. Plant grass, sod or
