It’s all about the base
The secret to durable paving isn’t the pavers themselves – it’s what’s underneath. A strong foundation comes from digging to the correct depth, compacting the soil, and laying a firm layer of crushed rock or road base. Skipping or rushing this step can lead to uneven surfaces, loose pavers and drainage problems down the track.
Drainage is the key
Water is one of paving’s biggest enemies. Getting the slope right ensures water flows away from your home instead of pooling in all the wrong places. Factoring in soil type and rainfall patterns also helps the surface hold up through every season.
The right materials, used the right way
Quality paving isn’t just about the look – it’s about using the right sand and choosing pavers suited to the site. Cutting, placing and compacting materials carefully makes everything fit securely and keeps the finish looking sharp.
Peace of mind
When paving is laid with care and the right techniques, it’s built to last. A level surface resists weeds, copes with heavy use and won’t crack or shift easily. DIY paving might look fine at first, but it often needs repairs or replacement much sooner. Doing it right the first time saves time, money and hassle.
