    The paving process is not as complicated as you may think. It is pretty simple and can be done by anyone with basic DIY skills. Here are the steps to pave your driveway, path or patio:

    – Choose the material you want to use for paving.
    – Measure the area you want to pave.
    – Mark out the area with string or chalk.
    – Excavate the area to a depth of around 15cm.
    – Compact the soil with a tamper.

    – Add your paving stones or bricks, starting at one end and working along in a straight line.
    – Use a level to make sure the stones are even.
    – Fill any gaps between the stones with sand or mortar.
    – Compact the paving with a tamper.
    – Add a finishing touch by edging the paving with bricks, stones or timber.

    Costs and considerations

    Regarding the cost of paving, it is essential to factor in the price of materials as well as the cost of labour. If you are doing the job yourself, you will need to factor in the cost of renting or purchasing equipment. It is also essential to consider how much maintenance the paved area will require. A gravel driveway, for example, will require regular raking, whereas a concrete driveway will require very little maintenance.

    When choosing a suitable paving material, there are a few things to consider. The climate is essential as some materials are more durable in certain conditions than others. For example, concrete is a good choice for areas that experience extreme temperatures as it does not crack in the heat or freeze in the cold. The cost is also essential as some materials, such as asphalt, can be pretty expensive.

    It is also essential to consider how much maintenance the paved area will require. A gravel driveway, for example, will require regular raking, whereas a concrete driveway will require very little maintenance.
    Another factor to consider is the appearance of the paving material. Some materials, such as brick pavers, can be pretty stylish and add curb appeal to a home.

    FAQs

    Some common questions we get on paving are;

    How long will my asphalt driveway last?

    In most cases, yes. However, it is always best to consult with a professional paving contractor to ensure that your existing driveway is in good enough condition to pave over.

    The cost of paving a driveway varies depending on the size of the driveway, the type of material used, and the project’s complexity.
