We’ve all seen it, a once pristine block paved driveway that now looks more like a broken jigsaw puzzle. Uneven bricks, wobbly steps, and weeds sprouting up like they own the place. Sound familiar?
A sinking driveway isn’t just an eyesore, it’s a trip hazard, a puddle magnet, and a clear cry for help from your property. Whether it’s caused by poor groundwork, dodgy drainage, or just years of heavy use, sunken paving is something you can fix, and your car will thank you for it too!
Why Do Driveways Sink?
- Weak or shallow sub-base: Think of it as building a castle on jelly. Without a solid foundation, paving just doesn’t stand a chance.
- Poor drainage: Water gets trapped underneath, softening the ground and causing those annoying dips.
- Tree roots or ground movement: Nature’s sneaky sabotage, roots push up or soil shifts underneath.
- Time: Like us, driveways get a little tired with age.
The Warning Signs
- Wobbly or uneven bricks
- Gaps forming between blocks
- Standing water after it rains
- That one plant that’s somehow thriving in the middle of your drive
