We are looking for a suitable material for a new driveway. A quick tour of the neighbourhood reveals about 60% of block paving drives (some only a couple of years old) have developed significant dips. I can't believe that they all used shoddy installers so perhaps the ground is just not suitable. Would using setts on a concrete base be more likely to resist the dips?
Any recommendations for a respected installer in the Southend-on-Sea area would be appreciated.

Thanks
Al

a door knocker may have called and done a few in one hit. in which case, shoddy workmanship.
they shouldn't sink if installed correctly.

More often than not, they haven't been dug out deep enough.

award winning drives and patios

chance are pikeys or door knockers have done the others

more than 70% of the work in a drive is unseen

I.E. the correct groundworks
