Ross · Answer

Indian stone driveways are known for their durability and strength, making them suitable for withstanding the weight of cars without cracking. When properly installed on a well-prepared base and maintained correctly, Indian stone driveways can provide a stable surface that can handle the weight of vehicles without issues. It's essential to ensure the driveway is laid on a suitable sub-base and that the stones are of high quality to minimize the risk of cracking under the weight of cars. Regular maintenance, such as keeping the surface clean and addressing any issues promptly, can help prolong the life of the driveway.

Not if the backs of the sandstone paving will need to be coated with a SBR coating slurry and layed on a full bed of sand and cement on top of a solid road stone base.

James · Answer

No as long as a sub base has been layed and layed correctly

If they are done properly they will be fine, ideally laid over a concrete base and “must” be laid on a “full bed” of strong mortar mix.

No if properly prepared sub base and formation level is dug out first and then compacted properly
