During this process the paving will lose some of its flexibility and the key to good quality paving is that it does not lose a high level of resilience during the test cycle. Losses in Mpa should not exceed 5 Mpa Some types of bark may be acidic, which can affect the pH of the soil and potentially harm certain plants.
