Bases, falls and storm runoff

In Brisbane the failure point for paving is usually the base and the drainage, not the pavers: summer storms wash out poorly compacted bases, and water ponding against the house is a problem. Ask what base depth and compaction the contractor uses and how the area falls away from the building. Work over $3,300 needs a QBCC licence in Queensland.

Before you hire a paving & driveways in Brisbane

  • Confirm who supplies the pavers and what happens to excavated soil.

Common questions

Why have my pavers sunk after a Brisbane storm?
Water has probably washed fine material out from under a thin or poorly compacted base. Lifting and relaying only works if the base and drainage are fixed at the same time.
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.
