Drainage: Install proper drainage systems such as French drains or sloping the ground away from the paved area to divert water. This prevents water from pooling underneath the pavers, which could lead to swelling.

Soil Stabilization: To reduce the expansion and contraction of clay, you may need to mix the clay soil with lime or gravel to enhance stability. This helps to firm up the base and reduces movement.

to movement with changing weather. What to Do: Base Layer: Add a thick layer of compacted crushed stone or gravel (around 5 to 15cm) to create a solid foundation that minimizes the effects of the clay soil shifting beneath it.
