Is driveway installation weather dependent?

Best Answer

"Not really if it's block paving
But if a concrete drive then yes it is"

"It all depends on what kind of driveway your having for instance block paving doesn't have alot of wet cement used in installation in most cases one or two days to cement edges in. Only continual storm like rain will hold up a project for any length of time but also if your ground gets waterlogged that can be an issue"

"Yes it would if the sand got too wet, there are certain things you can do if it rains but when screeding the sand if it poured down would cause it to sink"

"Rain should not stop play however this depends on how heavy it rains and if it’s causing any issues re-dig out"

"Yes it can affect the ground before any finishing works are completed for example concrete or resin bound works would be affected
Tarmac can be laid in the rain but it’s not recommended"

"Alot of workers don't work in heavy rain as long as you had enough hardcore and no soft spots it would be ok"

"Yes weather should be dry because dry way should be proper smooth and ground should be flat before laying brick or other material, and cement cant give full strength to bricks"

"Yes, it will wash the cement out of the concrete and potter the top. Block paving yes also if it’s continuing to rain and not just a little shower then it will wet. Dampen the sand which will make it expand and wet so there will be movement later on when it dries out and it could go through to the stone under the sand and again create a soft patch."

"It does depend on the weather, if its resin needs to be dry and if it’s block driveway it’s ok as long as it’s not the setting in stage for example kiln dried sand needs to be dried."

"Depending on what paving you have e.g block paving has sharp sand so really needs a dry day to lay sand and bricks and slabbing needs a dry day because of the cement"
