Afterward, a team of specialists is hired, and the site is prepared for paving. Site preparation includes clearing the area of debris, plants, and structures. In many cases, excavation is required.
The process then continues to base installation. This is the foundation of the pavers. It usually consists of aggregate or crushed stone, which is then spread over the surface to be paved. The aggregate stone is then compacted before asphalt or concrete is laid down. The budget and preference will determine if the paving is asphalt or concrete. Again, the material is laid out over the stone and compacted.
The next step is laying down the paving. The previous material should create a smooth surface for the paving. The final stages allow the paving to cure. This step enables the paving to harden correctly.
