Installation
The first stage is to remove your existing driveway,
this is done using a mini digger with all the debris
collected by a grab wagon and will normally be completed
in a day depending on the size of the area.
The minimum depth to be excavated is
10″ ( 250mm ) to allow for 6″ ( 150mm ) hardcore
2″ ( 50mm ) river sand and 2″ ( 50mm ) for the blocks.
The new driveway has to be set to the correct falls
and cross falls, this is done by setting pegs into the ground
at various points in the drive and attaching a string line
to achieve the necessary angle so rainwater can run off.
A new M.O.T. (Ministry Of Transport) standard type 1
sub base is installed and has to be compacted
with a vibrating roller.
Once this is completed, new edging restraints,
drainage and manholes are set in concrete.
A compacted layer of river sand is then laid and
screeding rails are positioned. Once the sand is screeded,
the laying of the blocks can begin in the chosen pattern.
Once all the blocks have been laid, cuts need to be made
using diamond tip blades at the edges. Finally kiln dried
sand is brushed into the joints and a vibrating plate is run
over the area so that the sand filters down in between the blocks. This process is repeated until blocks are fully bedded and
all joints are full. Any surplus sand is swept away.
