Hi all,
Been on these forums since building my house, been slowly doing all the landscaping etc, now I'm up to my driveway.
Ok so I'm paving my driveway, I've got a concrete base already in and its about 60 sqm.
The drop from the garage to the slab is 90mm the drop from the cross over to the slab is 80mm. My pavers are 65mm thick so I need a sand bedding of 25mm slopping down to 15mm. The slab has a natural slope down the driveway to the road so no need to add anything etc for water run off etc...
I've been reading and asking around about the process to follow when laying pavers and I seem to be getting conflicting advice.
My question is do you lay the sand and compact that to the correct level I require and then lay pavers
OR
Do I lay my sand down to a height just a bit more than I need, level it off then lay my pavers and then use a compacter to get it to the level I require?
If the second option how much is 15-25mm of sand going to compact? The sand I'm using is a Paving Sand made to Australian Standards from my local landscape supplier.
Pavers getting delivered tomorrow, sand on Wednesday then starting on Thursday
Thanks
Dave.
