Block Paving

Block paving combines a durable driving surface with plenty of choice in colour, format and laying pattern. Individual blocks can be lifted when local repairs are required. We focus on the preparation beneath the paving, secure edge restraints and accurate laying so the finished driveway remains stable, neat and well drained.

  • Excavation and a compacted, well-drained sub-base
  • Concrete-haunched perimeter restraints to lock the blocks in place
  • Selection of colour, block size and laying pattern, including borders
  • Kiln-dried sand jointing and a whacker-plate finish
  • Drainage falls and channel drains where the site needs them

FAQs

Block Paving questions

How can weed growth in block paving be reduced?

Kiln-dried sand joints and a well-compacted base keep weeds down. An occasional brush and top-up of jointing sand keeps it that way.

Can new blocks be matched to existing paving?

Often yes. Bring us the block name or a photo and we will source a match or the closest current equivalent.

What lifespan can I expect from block paving?

A well-laid block paved driveway on a correct base performs for decades, and because blocks lift and relay individually, the odd repair is simple and inexpensive.

Is your block paving workmanship guaranteed?

Yes — our workmanship is covered, and the applicable guarantee terms are explained clearly before installation starts.
