Job description

Paving Casebrook, Christchurch

Published on 10th November 2025

Hello, I need someone to finish off our paving that we tried (and failed) to level in our backyard. It is roughly around 3m x 5m. We did the edges ourselves and first thing that went wrong was that we based our measurements from previous bricked courtyard we had, so now the edges are not square (woops). We also compacted aggregate (50-50mm increments total 100mm) ourselves and it wasn’t that level (thinking that we just need to add more crusher dust to non level areas). Next we laid down the crusher dust 30mm of it (for 20mm depth ceramic pavers) then put the pavers on top. Now once we had done this, we realised that the pavers are wobbly and have less than 1mm gap in between the pavers. We need someone that can professionally level and give us atleast 2-3mm gap in between pavers so that we can pavetight (already bought but not used yet). We may have to cut the pavers in order to fit. We are willing to go to a professional to cut the pavers, but need the person to come and see the area first and have a plan in place before cutting etc..

"Thank you for an awesome job with our pavement! It was what my partner and myself have envisioned with the final look. We are so excited to fill the space with furniture and can finally have our pizza nights again, but in style! Banjo, you are awesome tradie to work with! If our next project fails again, we will have you on speed dial 😆"
