Whether you want to replace your drive, or create the perfect patio,
block paving Leicester wide can
provide the perfect finish. Whether
you’re looking to do it yourself, or
want to ensure you hire the right
builder, this guide will help.
The first step is to create a design. If
you’re building a driveway, consider
whether you’re completely replacing
what you have, or extending the
existing driveway. Making these
decisions helps you calculate the
number of slabs you need. Once you
have all this, it’s time to prepare the ground. You need to consider the
damp course of any adjoining building, ensuring the blocks or paving
slabs Leicester wide sit below this.
Once the ground is prepared, think
about the foundation. For the best
finish, create a concrete foundation
for your paving blocks to sit on.
When laying block paving, start at
the bottom of the slight slope you’ve
created. Block paving should be
started at a corner to ensure that they fit correctly regardless of the
pattern.
To complete your block paving Leicester based drive or patio, kiln
dried sand should be added. Finally, the area should be compacted
with a vibrating plate that’ll not damage the block paving.
