Paving and resin
-
Block paving, resin bound, tarmac, gravel and concrete wear, drain and cost differently, so we go through what each one is like to own long term.
-
Resin bound is permeable while resin bonded is not, and that difference is what brings permission into play.
-
Block paving can be lifted and put back over a service run, useful where a meter or drain lies underneath.
-
Samples come out and get wetted in place, because each of these surfaces looks quite different under rain.
Digging the base
-
A drive carries vehicles rather than furniture, so the sub-base goes deeper than a patio's and is compacted in layers rather than all at once.
-
Farnham's greensand digs easily and drains fast, but it still needs a trial hole to set the depth underneath.
-
Falls directed away from house and garage, with a linear drain set into the threshold.
-
Anything over five square metres out front must be permeable, or drain to a permeable area.
Kerbs and gateway
-
We submit the dropped kerb application for you, though the council decides it and normally builds the crossing, so we check beforehand.
-
Edging kerbs haunched in concrete, as an unrestrained edge is the point where block paving begins to spread.
-
Manholes, gullies and meter covers brought to the finished level, with recessed trays where they sit in the paving.
-
Ducting, posts and gates installed before surfacing, and the drive swept and the road washed off each evening.
