FAQs

How long does it take to pave a driveway?

Depending on the size of the driveway and the materials used, the time it takes to pave can vary. Most driveways are paved using asphalt or concrete as these materials are strong and durable. In New Zealand, for a standard-size driveway of approximately 100m2, it can take about five days to prep and install a driveway. It can take up to two weeks for larger driveways, not including the curing period.

Can you pave over concrete?

You are able to put pavers over existing concrete. This is a great way to upgrade your concrete surfaces, and it's easier than ripping up the concrete and re-pouring it to install pavers or even laying paving stones in the traditional way.

Can you do paving in the rain?

You are able to do most types of paving while it's raining slightly. However, it is advised not to lay pavers in heavy rain or frost. However, asphalt can not be poured during the rain as the mixtures contain oil which reacts negatively when it comes into contact with water during the pouring phase.

How long do pavers take to cure?

Depending on the materials used, after installation, it takes at least 14 days to cure before it can be sealed. After sealing (which is optional), it takes an additional 48 hours for the sealant to dry completely. The sealer can take up to 48 hours to dry and harden completely.

Can you walk on new pavers?

You can park or drive on your newly installed driveway as soon as it's been grouted with sand - which is the last step in the installation process. However, if you decide to seal your driveway, you'll have to wait an additional 48 hours for the sealant to dry completely. Foot traffic after three to four hours usually won't damage the sealant.
