Driveways sink for many reasons. The main one being the area has not been dug out correctly or deep enough. Sometimes the choice of materials used are incorrect, the sand might be the wrong type or laid too deep.

If your current driveway is sinking please contact a member of the team who can help discuss the available solutions.
