The difference is underneath
Preparation that protects the finished surface
A good-looking driveway or patio can still fail if the base, levels and drainage are wrong. We plan the complete build-up—not merely the visible paving.

Straight answers
Before choosing your contractor
Why use a semi-dry concrete base?
For suitable driveways and patios it creates a more rigid construction than loose aggregate alone and forms a barrier designed to stop weeds growing up from the ground below. Drainage and joints are still designed correctly.
