PREPARING THE GROUNDWORK

Block Pavers Frodsham UK (01928)

If you've got an existing drive, these materials will have to be removed and disposed of in the proper manner. To ensure that your new block pave drive concurs with regulations with respect to the damp proof course of your property, more excavations may also be needed. The guidelines demand that new driveways are installed at least two courses of bricks below the existing damp proof course of your building.

Frodsham block paved driveways that are being installed upon bare earth or grass, will need approximately 230mm (9 inches) of soil to be dug out and taken away. This allows for a proper sub-base and sharp sand to be laid before any block pavers are installed.

INSTALLATION OF THE SUB-BASE

A good layer of MOT Type 1 crushed material, covered with sharp sand, is used to form the sub-base. The installation of a solid and firm sub-base is crucial to ensure your driveway does not develop dips where puddles can form and cause issues. Made from granite or limestone which is compacted to create a sturdy, solid and durable surface for your driveway, footpath or terrace in Frodsham, MOT Type 1 is a type of crushed granular aggregate.

Any drainage issues will be addressed during this stage of the installation. If not already present in the natural lay of the land, a gradient or fall will be introduced, to enable the water to drain off. Either purpose built drainage channels/grates can be installed between your dwelling and the driveway for channelling away this water, or it can simply be redirected away from your property by the effect of gradient.

The final base upon which the paving blocks are arranged is created by shovelling sharp sand onto the packed down type 1 sub-base.

DRAINAGE AND WATER RUN-OFF REQUIREMENTS

Every driveway in Frodsham with an area of over five square metres, must include a provision for the water to drain away to a permeable area close by.
