The Brew Cabin

Hi, My block paving driveway has sunk slightly in a 1.5 sq.m. section (where my wife parked her car with a heavy load in the boot!) - could you please advise me how to carry-out a DIY repair job and without having to resort to hiring a whacker plate.
Also any recommendations about best brand of weedkiller for the drive which won't discolour the pavers?

Hi Ian,

look at the Repair and Maintenance page for guidance on how to lift and relay the sunken paving. You can re-consolidate using a rubber "clonker" (see Tools page) or even by hammering a timber board laid over the replaced paving.

Don't forget the jointing sand - it's absolutely essential!

Weedkiller - we normally use Sodium Chlorate, but Pathclear or Tumbleweed is fine.
