Questions people ask
Why does a block paving driveway sink?
The sub-base was too thin or not compacted, so it moves under the weight of the car.
Why herringbone?
Herringbone locks the blocks together better than other patterns, so it resists turning tyres.
Do you fit drainage channels?
Yes, where the drive falls towards the house or garage, so water is taken away.
