Paving Riverstone

Paving Contractors in Riverstone

Riverstone sits on the reactive shale clay that runs right through the Blacktown Council area, and that soil is the single biggest reason paving fails here. Clay swells after a wet week and shrinks back in summer, so any paved surface laid straight onto trimmed ground moves with it. On every Riverstone job we excavate down to firm subgrade, bring in road base and compact it in layers before a single paver is placed.

The suburb is really two paving markets. The older streets around Garfield Road and the railway have established brick and weatherboard homes with tired concrete driveways and cracked cement paths that suit an overlay or a full replacement. The newer Riverstone and Schofields release blocks come out of builder handover as bare dirt, and owners want an alfresco area, a pool surround and a side path finished in one visit.

Widening a driveway or adding a second vehicle crossing in Riverstone needs approval from Blacktown Council before the layback is cut, and the paved apron has to tie into the approved crossover level. We set out falls that carry water to the street or a stormwater point rather than back toward the house slab, screed a bedding course to the correct depth, and finish with a stabilised jointing sand that locks the pavers together and keeps weeds down.
