 Paving blocks over a compacted stone sub-base and a leveling bed of sand, concrete paving stones can be used for walkways, patios, pool decks and driveways and airport or loading docks. Pressing the dry concrete-mix into moulds rather than pouring a wetter mix allows for their 8000 psi compressive strength, making concrete paving stones a more durable choice than clay bricks or poured-in-place concrete. Clay pavers have an advantage with resistance to fading from the sun and deterioration from long term exposure to the elements. They also do not require a seal coat to prevent staining, unlike the concrete paver. Because clay pavers are fired, the pores of the paver are closed, therefore creating an almost non permeable surface. Their main disadvantage is color spectrum. They are a natural material so colors are limited. Concrete on the other hand has a limitless color spectrum when using white portland cement and pigments.

My new limestone driveway slabs are flaking in various places along the edges! What has my builder done wrong?
|
They were layed only 7 months ago. I was told that these are the strongest most hard-wearing and low-maintenance stone particularly suitable for driveway paving which is why I decided to fork out the extra £3000 over my budget for my small courtyard garden and adjacent driveway. They are called Jura Beige Limestone. My builders had carried out a

That area is an easement granted to our property in the mortgage paperwork. We do have a garage but, having just moved, it is filled with boxes and such and can barely fit our car.
