THE APEX DIFFERENCE
The overwhelming majority of brick paver driveways that have sinking and settling issues are attributed to the fact that a sufficient sub-base was not installed. In order to eliminate any sinking, settling, or ruts from the vehicle tires, a crushed lime rock “DOT Road Rock” sub-base must be installed. This is the same base material installed under most highways and local streets. The crushed lime rock base should be 4”–6” deep for residential driveways. Although the sub-base depth is different according to the existing soil conditions, 4”– 6” seems to be the average from our experience. A “concrete sand” base alone is not adequate. Many municipalities do not require that a crushed lime rock base be installed. Apex Pavers made the decision to install a lime rock base in every driveway as a standard, not the exception. Having the confidence of the proper sub-base, Apex Pavers is able to guarantee that your driveway will not sink and settle. Apex hopes that this bit of education and their guarantee will help remove some of the concerns surrounding brick pavers.
