Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best type of paver for Australian backyards?
The best paver depends on your needs and style, but for most Australian backyards, concrete and natural stone are top choices. Concrete pavers are affordable, durable and come in many colours and textures. Natural stone options like bluestone, sandstone or granite offer a premium look and handle heat well. Porcelain pavers are a newer option — sleek, low-maintenance and great around pools. Always consider slip resistance, colour fade, and how hot they get underfoot.
How do I prepare the ground before paving?
Proper preparation is crucial for a long-lasting paved area. First, mark out the area and dig down to the required depth — usually around 150–200mm. Remove any soft soil, roots or debris. Then add a compacted base layer of road base or crushed rock, followed by a layer of sharp sand. Level and compact each layer thoroughly. This base supports the pavers, ensures good drainage, and prevents sinking or movement over time.
Do paved areas need drainage?
Yes, all paved areas need proper drainage to prevent water pooling, flooding or damage to your foundation. A slight slope should be built into the paving to guide water away from buildings or garden beds. In some cases, a strip drain or channel system may be needed, especially around pools or retaining walls. Without good drainage, water can build up under the surface and cause the pavers to shift, crack or sink.
