FAQs StablePAVE
Frequently Asked Questions
• Does it drain? Yes, all products are fully permeable and
water simply runs through the gravel and honeycomb.
• How do you edge it? 1. Brick & Cement 2. Haunched
concrete 3. Tanalised timber 4. Tarmacadam (for ramping
to existing surfaces) 5. RITE-EDGE 6. RITE-L-EDGE
approximately -25°C and +75°C.
• What maintenance do I need to carry out? Ensure that
the honeycomb is always covered with a thin layer of gravel
(approximately 10 - 20mm). See pages 10-11.
• How long does it last? StablePAVE involves fairly new
technology and has not been on the market that long,
however, failure is rare and we have installations that are
over 25 years old and are still in good working order. For a
long-lasting driveway proper installation is key, but of
course weather and local geology are influencing factors.
• Can you drive cars on it? Yes (although only light traffic
on StablePAVE ECO) with the correct sub base (75mm to
300mm of hard-core / crushed concrete) and 25mm to
50mm of compacted sharp sand. The product will
withstand occasional large lorries such as removal lorries,
horse boxes, skip lorries and oil deliveries.
• Can you use it on a slope? Gentle slopes are OK; (up to 1
in 10) you must maintain the area by raking the gravel. If

• Can you install it on an old drive / concrete base? We

• Are they frost proof and heat proof? Yes, they are to
