Construction & sub-base

A good sub base will be the key to a long-lasting driveway. It is recommended that a 100mm sub-base be laid on top of a good geomembrane, after compacting it down. Any kerbs used should then be cemented in. After your kerbs and level run are done, a good layer of sharp sand should be brought to the correct screed level. Block laying will depend on the finish pattern and sizes. Finally, jointing with sand and finishing off with a rubber plate compactor.

Drainage

Most councils will require a drain channel at the end where the blocks meet the pedestrian walkway — this channel will collect the run-off water and displace it into a soakaway or drain. An alternative to channel drains and soakaways is a permeable driveway, built using either Marshalls Priora or Resin Bond Driveways. Cutting Hedge permeable driveways are SUDS built — Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems.

Permeable options

  • Marshalls Drivesett Argent Priora
  • Resin-bound resin systems
  • Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS)
  • Block, cobble and slate driveways

The Cutting Hedge driveway specialist will meet with the client to discuss the finished driveway.
