The three common paver types
Concrete interlocking pavers: the usual driveway choice, laid in patterns that lock under load.
Cobble pavers: a classic look for driveways and walkways.
Clay brick pavers: colourfast and long lived, common on patios and walkways.
Whatever you choose, the base decides the result
A driveway fails at the base long before the pavers wear out. On Completo the base compaction stage carries a required photo before the pavers go down, and your money stays in the SafePay trust account until you approve each stage.
