Building a concrete driveway


If you want to build a nice driveway for your property, you can follow this video and save tons of money by making it by yourself. The most important thing about this project is to have a really nice and sturdy support for the driveway. Therefore, remove the top layer of soil and then compact it properly.

When you pour the concrete form you need to make a nice formwork and level it thoroughly. Screed the concrete along the form slats and let it dry out for a few days.




Install the concrete borders along the concrete driveway and level them with a spirit level. Next lay a 1" thick layer of sand and screed it. Compact the sand. As a tip, you need to make sure the sand is moist, otherwise you can't compact it thoroughly.

Install the pavers using a mallet. Work in small portions and check the rows are properly installed. After you install all the paver blocks you need to fill the gaps between them with fine sand. The fine sand will lock all the pavers together tightly.
