Question 2

What is the difference between pavé uni and dalles?

Accepted Answer

Pavé uni measures 60 millimeters thick or more, depending on its size, and is used for garage entrances due to its dimensions and specific thickness. Dalles are 60 millimeters thick or less, depending on their size, and are used for landscaping, pool surrounds, patios, and pedestrian walkways.

Question 3

What is the importance of surface preparation for paved surfaces?

Accepted Answer

Proper surface preparation, including excavation to a depth of 12 to 24 inches with a crushed stone foundation and geotextile, is crucial for the longevity and stability of paved surfaces. Proper drainage is also essential to prevent water accumulation and soil movement, which can damage the pavement over time.

Question 4

How long can an asphalt driveway last?

Accepted Answer

An asphalt driveway can last over 20 years if properly installed. Key factors include sufficient compaction of the crushed stone layers, perfect leveling, and the use of a quality geotextile membrane to prevent soil from mixing with the stone.

Question 5

When should asphalt paving work not be performed?

Accepted Answer

Asphalt paving work should not be performed in cold weather or when it is raining.

Question 6

What are the functions of retaining walls?

Accepted Answer

Retaining walls are used for both aesthetic and practical purposes. They can delineate property lines, surround patios, create distinct zones, provide a stable base for soil support and containment, manage land elevation differences, frame steps, stabilize slopes, and prevent erosion.
