When planning your new block pave drive in Market Rasen it is essential to think ahead when you're considering how large you should make it. Obviously, you may be limited by the dimensions of the garden area that you've got to build on, but it's best to plan your new driveway to be able to safely park and move around your car. If it is at all possible in your situation, it's also a great idea to put in a driveway that has enough room for more than just your own vehicle. This allows visitors to park their own vehicles or maybe an older child's vehicle when they eventually pass their driving test.

When you're seeking out a specialist block paver in Market Rasen, always try to get no less than 3 fully itemised estimates from different companies in the area. If any friends and family have had a block pave drive installed recently, you could try asking them if there's anyone they can recommend.

A respectable company should provide a free and detailed quote for the complete project. Any people who simply rock up at your front door stating they "just happen to be working locally on another project", should generally be avoided. They may of course be legitimate (highly unlikely), and there are any number of horror stories of people being ashamed and out of pocket when a drive is not successfully completed, or getting substandard work done.

Provisioned for any quote would be items like:

  • Preparation (excavation) of the area
  • Sub-base installation
  • Water run-off and drainage specifications
  • Colour, amount and style of block pavers
  • Waste disposal
  • Other things to consider

PREPARING THE GROUNDWORK

If you have a pre-existing driveway, this material will have to be removed and disposed of in the correct fashion. Further excavations may be necessary to ensure that your new block paved driveway conforms to regulations relating to your property's damp proof course. New installations of driveways should be 2 brick courses or 150mm below the existing damp proof course.

If your block paving dive in Market Rasen is being installed over bare earth or grass, roughly 230mm (9") of soil must be excavated and disposed of. This is going to allow for the creation of a proper sub-base and sharp sand stratum, before your block paving is put down.

INSTALLATION OF THE SUB-BASE

The sub-base comprises a layer of MOT Type 1 crushed stones and gravel covered with sharp sand. To make sure your driveway won't move or develop low lying spots where pools can form, a solid sub-base is vital. The Type 1 is a crushed granular aggregate, usually composed of granite or limestone which is firmly packed down to form a firm, durable and sturdy surface for your terrace, driveway or path in Market Rasen.

During this stage of the installation any potential drainage issues will be sorted out. To allow excess water to drain away easily, a fall or slope, will be inserted, if not already present in the lay of the land. This water will either be directed as far away from your property as possible, or into drainage grates, inserted in between the driveway and your home.

Once the sub-base type 1 aggregate has been compacted down, sharp sand is added and levelled off to create a decent base for arranging the paving blocks.
