Driveways, patios & paving

Block paving for drives, paths and patios

Block paving takes the weight of a car, individual blocks can be lifted and re-laid if a service ever needs digging up, and there is enough choice in colour and pattern to suit almost any house.

What separates a drive that stays flat from one that ruts is entirely what happens underneath. We lay onto a compacted sub-base with a screeded laying course, set the blocks to your chosen pattern, and restrain every open edge on concrete haunching. The blocks are then vibrated in and jointed with kiln-dried sand so they lock together and carry load as one surface.

Common questions

Block Paving FAQs

Will weeds grow through block paving?

Kiln-dried sand joints on a properly compacted base give weeds very little to root into, and what does appear usually blows in on top rather than growing up through. A jointing stabiliser is available if you want to cut maintenance further.

What if a block gets damaged?

That is the advantage of block paving. A damaged or stained block can be lifted out and replaced without disturbing the rest of the surface. We normally leave you a few spares from the same batch.

Does block paving need sealing?

It does not have to be. Sealing can deepen the colour and make the surface easier to clean, but it is a choice rather than a requirement, and we will tell you what it does and does not achieve.

Can you match my existing paving?

Often we can get close, though blocks weather and exact matches to an older drive are rarely possible. Where a match matters we will show you the nearest options before ordering.

How long before I can drive on it?

Once the blocks are compacted and jointed the surface is ready to use. We will tell you if any edge haunching needs a little longer to cure before it takes wheel loads.
