A driveway that holds its shape under cars for years, which is decided by the depth and the drainage underneath long before the blocks go down.
Block paving is one of those jobs where the part you pay for is the part you never see. This driveway to a detached home was dug out, built up with a proper sub-base and drained correctly before a single block was laid.
Get the base and the falls right and the surface stays flat, drains cleanly and takes the weight of vehicles for years. Skimp on it and the blocks on top start to move within a season. The finished paving is the easy bit; the groundworks are the job.
