How Is a Slab Paving Driveway Laid in Rhondda Cynon Taf?
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 Slabs are laid on a mortar bed over a compacted sub-base, positioned, levelled and jointed.
Kerbs, Edging and Drainage
Suitable edging restraints are used to frame the new paved driveway, and falls are set to direct rainwater to a suitable drainage point.
