What Does Block Paving Driveway Installation Include in Buckinghamshire?
Most of the work involved in a long-lasting driveway happens underneath the finished asphalt. The exact process will depend on the condition of the area and the finish chosen.
Work usually starts with excavation to the required depth. A stable foundation layer is then laid and compacted before the Concrete or clay blocks are set individually on a prepared bed and finished with kiln-dried sand in the joints.
Edging and Finishing
A row of edge blocks or kerbs is normally set first to contain the paving, and drainage is considered as part of the design so water does not collect on the surface.
