Hi,
Need to repair a driveway (ie not going to dig everything out and start again). Hopefully base is not too bad, slabs were fine for years until a skip disturbed a few. Slabs are the square shed/B+Q type about 3cm thick, 40cm square.
Am intending to lift, fill/screed with sharp sand and whacker plate level before relaying. Can I then whacker them again for a final level/compaction or will that scratch and/or crack them? The hire people have a rubber base (£25) you can put on the whacker (also £25) if that might help? If not ok to whacker, I guess rubber maul? Jumping up and down?!
Would appreciate any input.
