Survey of the existing base: sinking, rutting, loose edges and drainage
Plane or cut back at thresholds, kerbs and covers so levels still work
Weed treatment and a clean surface
Bond (tack) coat sprayed to glue the new layer to the old
Edges sealed and joints to existing surfaces cut neatly

In England, a new hard surface over 5 m² in front of a house needs planning permission unless it is porous or drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. Any new or widened crossing over the pavement needs approval from the highway authority (the county or unitary council).
