Hi everyone hope this is in correct section as posted earier in garden but think its better here, I am thinking about getting my drive way done , I currently is partially block paved but I am thinking I may get it re-done and get the full lot done as the soil is very damp were I live as clay underneath and grass is covered in worm casts + wife just passed test so could do with larger drive.
I have been looking on check a trade and some of the company's say they use
All our paving is set on a solid non sinking concrete base (the same concrete they build houses on) if it can hold your house up it can hold your car.
so is a concrete base or a sand base better ? I didn't know anyone used concrete for block paving on driveway and if they do are you able to lift the blocks if needed for ay reason or do the paves stick to the concrete as I imagine ?
also I read that clay pavers are better as hold colour etc is this the case ?
Lastly how my neighbour said he knows an electrical cable or phone cable runs under my grass at front would it be a lot deeper than then the drive would be dug out ?
any help if appreciated
thanks Dean
