Picture Perfect: How Paving Can Transform Spaces

Good day everyone. I'm Shandalle and welcome to my paving blog. I work as a secretary for a paving company and I must confess that I had no interest in design when I began working in this office. Over the past five years, however, I've learnt how carefully chosen, well-placed pavers can transform spaces such as gardens, parks and public walkways. It has been a real eye opener! One of the best parts of my job is the annual photography competition. Our contractors take pictures of their best work and, as an impartial judge, I get to choose the winner! I am just so impressed by the fantastic effects that a quality paving contractor can achieve. I have started this blog to inspire others out there who might want to tackle a paving job and are looking for ideas. I hope you find something useful in these entries. Enjoy.

Ways to Carry out Pothole Repairs and When to Use them

Posted on February 1, 2016

Potholes are especially likely to form during winter and are a big problem for motorists. As roads/pavements are used over time, cracks form and water seeps through these cracks into the sub layers underneath the road/pavement. The freezing winter temperatures cause that water to freeze, expanding as it does so and raising the smooth surface. When temperatures rise, the water melts, leaving a gap between the top surface and sub layers. [Read More]
