Paving and Driveway Installation FAQs
Is paving better than concrete for driveways?
Both options can work well. Paving makes it easier to access underground services and repair
small areas, while concrete offers a continuous surface. Your choice can depend on budget, look
and how you plan to use the driveway over time.
What base is needed under paving?
Pavers usually sit on a compacted base designed to support the expected load. Areas for cars may
need deeper bases than paths. Pavers can explain what they normally use for similar jobs in your
area and soil type.
How do I reduce weeds between pavers?
Good base preparation and joint filling can reduce weed growth, though some seeds may still settle
in joints over time. Pavers can discuss sealers, sand choices and maintenance steps to help keep
paved areas looking tidy.
Can existing paving be lifted and relaid?
In some cases pavers can lift, re level and reuse existing pavers if they are in reasonable
condition. They will check for damage and base issues before suggesting whether this is a
practical option or whether new materials make more sense.
