Proper preparation of the ground is crucial before paving. If the ground is not correctly adjusted, the built pavement could experience premature failure. In addition, the paving will not perform as expected. One of the critical issues that you must address during ground preparation is the type of soil. If the soil is not ideal for laying pavers, it will need to be remediated before the construction begins. There are different approaches to stabilising the ground before paving.

Your driveway probably doesn't need to handle large trucks, tractors or trailers, but it will take its fair share of stress over the years. Your own vehicle will add its own far-from-insubstantial weight, and changing weather conditions will have their impact. Over time, this can lead to a type of fatigue cracking often referred to as 'crocodile cracking' or 'alligator cracking'. The name comes from interconnected cracks that make small cells usually no more than a foot across.
