The brief

An existing driveway had failed twice on a thin base and was ponding water against the garage threshold. The client wanted the surface rebuilt properly rather than patched a third time.

How it was built

  1. 01Failed surface lifted and the sub-base tested before any new material was ordered.
  2. 02Levels reset to move water away from the threshold and into a new channel.
  3. 03Setting-out lines pegged and approved with the client before laying started.
  4. 04Edge restraint and kerbing cast first so the field could be laid tight to a fixed line.

Outcome

Handed over in three weeks with no ponding after the first summer storm season. Two subsequent referrals in the same street.
