Who Does the Work

One Paver, From the Measure to the Last Joint

Prime Paving Canberra is run by Dominic Deegan. When you get in touch, you deal with Dominic, the person who will do the job: he comes out, measures the area, talks through the pavers and the laying method with you, and prepares the quote.

On the day, that same person digs out, builds the base, lays the pavers and finishes the edges and joints. If something on site needs a decision, the person who made the plan is there to make it.

How We Work

The Base Decides How Long Paving Lasts

Asked what separates paving that lasts from paving that starts moving, sinking or cracking, the answer is the same every time: base preparation.

“It's the base prep. Hands down, base prep every single time.”

  • Done to the Australian Standard

    Paving built on a properly prepared base, to the Australian standard, should give a good result for twenty to thirty years.

  • Driveways Built for Cars

    Clay paver driveways sit on at least 100 mm of road base and about 50 mm of bedding sand, compacted in layers no thicker than 75 mm.

  • Edges and Joints Locked In

    A header course locks the pattern in, a mortar haunch, a strip of mortar along the outside edge, holds the edges, and polymeric sand is swept into the joints.

What We Lay

Clay, Travertine and Porcelain

The paver you choose decides how it is laid. Budget, the style of paver and where it is going all come into it.

Dry Laid

Clay Pavers

Segmental pavers and larger flags in many colours and styles, bought from Canberra suppliers. Laid on compacted road base and bedding sand, with no concrete slab underneath.

Wet Laid

Travertine

Natural stone laid in mortar, either on a concrete slab or on 100 mm of compacted road base. Common around pools.

Wet Laid

Porcelain

Outdoor porcelain, the same thing as outdoor tiles or rigid paving, laid in mortar on a slab or on compacted road base.
