The edges secure the block paving in such a way that through the years, the blocks themselves are far less likely to move. Edges are of particular significance on slopes. They are also very important when it comes to vehicles moving along the same areas of a driveway, which is more likely than not the case: Driveways are likely to be just one lane wide, rather than two. Paving in driveways that stretch around a lawn, for example, will also encounter likely usage around the same areas. Any area in which paving wraps around soft landscaping features require edging if there are motor vehicles being used on them. In order that blocks not be forced apart, a secure framework must hold them in place. During the construction of your block paving surface, the edging can act as the area where you can have “falls” for drainage. Damp proofing may be significant if your block paving Manchester is flush with a house wall. In this case, the house itself may act as an edge. Edges also serve as a practical guide when building the block paving surface in any number of ways. The edges are useful for establishing the area over which the sub base and screed will be placed. Screeding of the grit is of importance as it is the layer on which the blocks will be laid. Even if the edging didn’t serve other purposes, screeding of sand and grit can be a messy business. For this reason, having a defined area over which the sand, gravel and stones of the sub base and the sand layers can be placed makes things far less untidy in the long run and obviates the need for a big clean up. |
