Bluestone and bases on reactive clay

Bluestone is the classic Adelaide paving material, used for paths, courtyards and driveway edging. On reactive clay a well-compacted, properly drained base is what stops pavers from rocking and sinking, and expansion joints keep large paved areas from cracking. Ask what base depth and compaction the contractor uses, and where the water will run.

Before you hire a paving & driveways in Adelaide

  • Photograph the whole area and any pooling water or sunken sections.
  • Measure the area roughly and say whether vehicles will use it.
  • Ask what base preparation, edging and drainage the quote includes.
  • Confirm who supplies the pavers and what happens to excavated soil.

Common questions

Can pavers be laid straight over clay in Adelaide?
Not reliably. A compacted crushed rock base with proper falls is normally required. Ask the contractor to show you how they prepare the base.
Why have my pavers sunk?
The base or drainage may have failed, or the ground may have moved. Lifting the bricks alone may not fix the cause.
Can pavers be laid over old concrete?
That depends on the slab condition, height at doors and drainage. Ask the installer to inspect the site first.
