How Is a Block Paving Driveway Laid in Leeds?
Good preparation is one of the most important parts of building a driveway that stays level and stable. The exact process depends on the site, ground conditions and design.
The contractor will normally excavate the area to remove turf, soil or an old surface. The excavated area is prepared with a firm, compacted base before the Block paving is laid by hand on a sand bed over a compacted sub-base, in the chosen pattern.
Kerbs, Edging and Drainage
Suitable restraint edging is used to keep the blocks secure, and falls are set to direct rainwater to a suitable drainage point.
