Block Paving and drainage

awishawash · 2006-05-31 23:49:39

Hey all, will be doing some paving next week in my driveway(terraced house 25ft x 20ft). I am just wondering how I should approach drainage. The base will be hardcore compacted, a cloth membrane, and sand. I am concerned about pooling and puddles and was just wondering what the norm is in city drives.

awishawash ,

Check out Paving Expert this website should more than answer your questions. If your looking for some linear dranage the cheapest I found a few weeks ago after checking the local builders suppliers and plumbin suppliers was b+q ( yeah b+q ) in liffey valley for 14.98 per linear m ( Both
galvanised grating and plastic grating ).

Hope this may be a little help for you !
