London clay driveways: why the base matters more than the finish

September 11, 2026

London clay shrinks and swells. A pretty stamp on a thin base is how drives crack and sink.

We specify geotextile, compacted Type 1 (or Type 3 for permeable resin bound), and haunched kerbs from laser levels — before anyone picks a colour.

That is the same foundation whether you choose imprinted concrete, resin bound or block paving.
