How to hire a paving & driveways pro in Hong Kong
- Paving jobs concentrate in village houses and ground-floor units — confirm the contractor has NT village-house experience where relevant
- Check land status: works outside your lot boundary on government land are unauthorised
- Get the spec in writing: base preparation, paver or stone type, and drainage falls
- Confirm drainage does not discharge onto neighbouring lots or block existing channels
- Ask for a per-square-foot quote and past project photos
- Agree debris disposal — construction waste charges apply at government facilities
Frequently asked questions
Should I be wary of door-knocking paving crews?
Yes. 'We have leftover asphalt from a job down the road' is a classic scam — the material is often laid thin over no base and fails within months, and the crew is untraceable. Reputable paving firms price from a site visit and written spec, not from surplus material on a truck.
How long should a new driveway last?
On a proper base: asphalt 15-25 years, concrete 25-40, block paving 25+ (with occasional re-sanding and weed control), gravel indefinitely with topping up. Sealing asphalt and concrete every few years extends life in harsh climates.
Do paved driveways need drainage?
Yes — water must drain to a lawful outfall or soak into the ground. Many jurisdictions now require permeable paving or on-site soakaways when front gardens are paved, precisely to stop rain sheeting onto the street. A good contractor designs falls and drainage before laying anything.
Can my existing driveway be resurfaced instead of replaced?
Often yes — asphalt can be overlaid if the base is sound, concrete can sometimes be resurfaced or used as a base for pavers, and sunken block paving can be lifted and relaid on fresh bedding. If the base has failed (widespread cracking, deep ruts), resurfacing only buys a year or two.
What ruins driveways fastest?
A skimped sub-base. The surface layer gets the attention, but 100-200mm of properly compacted hardcore beneath it is what stops sinking, cracking and rutting. Quotes that are far below the rest usually save money underground where you cannot see it.
How long does driveway paving take?
A typical residential driveway takes 2-5 days: excavation and sub-base first, then the surface. Asphalt is drivable within days; new concrete should cure about a week before taking a car's weight; pavers can be used almost immediately once compacted and sanded.
Why are Hong Kong paving quotes so labour-heavy?
Access. Materials often have to be carried by hand up village paths or through buildings, and skilled outdoor trades are scarce. Expect labour to be half or more of the total, and per-square-foot rates well above regional norms.
