Question

Can I use slabs and gravel for a permeable drive 5 sqare metres

Thomas · Accepted Answer

Yes but only 2 runs of slabs at 5 linear meters for car wheels to sit on

Steven · Answer

Yes you can but I would advise to put down a sub base if you are parking on it as well or it will sink over time

Mick · Answer

You will need to have a sub base of type 1 for strength if you don’t do a base the slabs will crack and you will have to redo all again

Jamie · Answer

Good sub base and full bed (as always) to ensure the slabs don’t crack or move

Don · Answer

Yes 
Make sure that the hardcore and sand cement mix are well compacted

Jamie · Answer

Hi yes you can but ensure the paving is laid on a solid bed to make sure the don’t move and a solid sub base and any heigh levels near the house to be finshed 150ml below dpc 
Makes sure the gravel has a solid sub base also

Aaron · Answer
