Question

How durable is crazy paving drives??

Answer 1

lf you mean driveways made with ''pavers'',( the ones the size and thickness of red bricks ), very durable. Don't drive a concrete truck on it. Do the site prep as required. They will tell you at the place you buy them. Shop around, My neighbor did and saved about 1/3 by checking with companies just outside of town.

Answer 2

The finish to your driveway is as important as to what is underneath it, the foundation determines how much traffic the driveway can take. Put in a good foundation and it does not matter how you finish the top.

Answer 3

it all depends on how well it was laid in the first place

Answer 4

Crazy paving is OK for patio's and paths. But I wouldn't recommend it if cars have to be parked/driven on it. Even for a patio extensive work is requiered. levelling of ground. laing and tamping down 3-4 ins of sand. then brushing in a 3-1 mixture sand concrete over the surface, without treading on slabs till dry. It's all in the preperation.

Answer 5

Remember, 'crazy' paving is made of broken paving slabs - so if they break, then they're just going to get 'crazier'.

It's the grouting that goes. You can replace it by brushing in a dry motar mix - ( 1 part cement and 3 parts sand )

Answer 6

as long as you have a good base and the right mix of concrete it will be very durable.
