Driveway

[hardwoodjoint]

We are going to renovate the house. We have a driveway that is made from concrete slabs about 1.5m square. They're unsightly, can you lay pavers on a bed of sand directly over the slabs? Or do we bite the bullet and dig them all up and lay concrete?

Hi
Concreteing over them is ok without the sand, but you will have to check your heights so you dont breach your Damp Proof Course of the house.

Wouldnt you get run off into the bed of sand which would then eventually wash out?

Never seen it done before. I would go the whole way and get a bobcat in
to rip up the concrete.

Tony,
you could advertise: "free paving slabs 1.5 x 1.5M, must remove from driveway" - worth a try anyway.

You can lay pavers on concrete in a layer of cement.

Have a look around this site, it's great, and big!
