Block Paving Driveways
Block paving suits front gardens where you want texture, character and a surface that can be lifted and relaid if a pipe ever needs reaching. This page explains the options, the typical scope and what we'd think about together before any work is planned.
Choosing a pattern and palette
Herringbone, stretcher bond and basketweave each give a different feel, and borders can frame the drive or echo the brickwork of the house. We'd put two or three options side by side so you can compare them on your own property.
What the work usually involves
Existing surface removal, ground preparation, edge restraints, a compacted base and the blocks themselves, finished with jointing. Drainage falls and any channel details are planned early so water goes where it should.
What shapes a proposal
Every project is different, so anything you'd receive would be written after looking at your space. These are the factors that usually shape the options:
- Area of the drive and shape of the space
- Pattern, block type and border choices
- Depth of excavation and condition of the ground
- Drainage falls, channels and threshold details
