How Is a Concrete Driveway Laid in Bath?
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 Reinforced concrete is poured over a compacted sub-base and finished to the required texture.
Kerbs, Edging and Drainage
Suitable edging or formwork frames the new concrete driveway, and falls are set to direct rainwater to a suitable drainage point.
