The installation process - the important TECHNICAL details
Excavation & Restraints
We always excavate to a minimum depth of 230mm for block paving driveways. We then install fixed kerbs and restraining edges to provide maximum stability to the driveway and to prevent spread, followed by a geotextile membrane to prevent separation.
MOT Type 1 Sub-base & Concrete Sand
We use MOT Type 1. This is a high-performance, permeable 0–40mm crushed stone sub-base. When compacted correctly, this provides a perfect hard load-bearing layer to install the block pavers. We always compact the type 1 in layers to ensure full compaction and to prevent spread. A 30mm bed of concrete sand is screeded ready to bed the pavers.
50mm or 60mm Pavers
Whether you choose 50mm or 60mm pavers, these are laid using various bonds, typically brick bond or herringbone. Kiln dried sand is used to fill the gaps between the blocks. This prevents blocks moving sideways, helps spread loads across the surface and reduces wobble. After initial installation, a wacker plate is used to firmly bed the pavers and forces the kiln dried sand deeper into the joints.
