Excavation & Sub-base Preparation
We excavate to 250-300mm depth and install a compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base. This provides the solid foundation essential for Currie's ground conditions and long-term stability.
Edge Restraints & Laying Course
Heavy-duty edge restraints are installed around the perimeter, followed by a 50mm sharp sand laying course screeded perfectly level for your chosen block pattern.
Block Laying & Compaction
Blocks are laid in your chosen pattern (herringbone, stretcher bond, etc.) with 2-5mm joints. The surface is plate-compacted and kiln-dried sand swept in for a professional finish.
