Frequently Asked Questions

  • How important is drainage when preparing a driveway?

    Proper drainage is crucial to prevent water pooling and erosion that can damage your driveway over time. During preparation, grading the surface to direct water away from the driveway and foundation helps maintain its integrity. Good drainage extends the life of your driveway and reduces costly repairs.

  • How thick should a driveway base be?

    The thickness varies depending on the driveway type, expected traffic and soil conditions. Gravel driveways usually require 100–150mm of compacted base, while concrete or bitumen driveways often need 150–300mm or more. A professional assessment ensures the base thickness meets your specific needs.

  • How long after preparation can I lay concrete or asphalt?

    The timeframe depends on weather and soil conditions but typically, the base should be stable and compacted immediately before laying the surface. It’s important to avoid delays that can cause soil settling or erosion, which may compromise the driveway’s structural integrity.
