Photo gallery: paving repair from the base up

In shortA gallery of photos from the stages of block paving work that matter most for repairs: lifting, spreading and levelling the sub-base, screeding the bedding, laying blocks against firm edgings, setting channel drains and compacting the finished surface.

What can you see in this gallery?

The photos below follow paving work through its hidden layers rather than showing only finished surfaces. You will find lifted pavers on a footpath, granular sub-base being spread and levelled in front of a garage, bedding screeded between edgings, blocks placed by hand on grit, a channel drain set between kerbs and a plate compactor working over relaid paving. Captions describe only what each picture shows.

If your own paving has sunk, rocks underfoot or holds water, comparing it with these stages helps explain what a proper repair involves. The repair work in pictures page describes each group of photos, and repair step by step explains the sequence. Send us a photo and the approximate m² – free, no-obligation quote.
