Paving, West Auckland
Driveways, patios, courtyards, pathways and entertaining areas in concrete, clay or natural stone pavers.
What is covered
The part you never see is the part that matters
Pavers sink when the ground under them was rushed. The site is excavated down to stable sub grade, a compacted GAP aggregate basecourse goes in, then screeded bedding sand, precise laying, edge restraints and joint locking sand. That layering is what keeps a driveway flat under a car and stops weeds coming up through the joints.
Falls and drainage, planned first
Auckland rain finds every flat spot. Correct falls, the right sub base and permeable jointing sand send surface water where it should go instead of pooling against the house.

Glen EdenCommon questions
Can paving go on uneven ground?
Yes. Levelling and site preparation are part of the job, not an extra.
Which paver suits a patio or pool surround?
Large format concrete or natural stone such as basalt or bluestone is popular for entertaining areas. For driveways, smaller interlocking pavers spread vehicle weight better.
How much maintenance is paving?
Very little. A sweep or a wash down keeps it clean, and topping up the jointing sand every few years keeps it tight.
