The Block Paving Installation Process
When you choose us for your block paving driveway, we follow a step-by-step approach to ensure a top-quality outcome. Here’s what you can expect:
- Site Assessment & Consultation: Our team will visit your property to assess your needs, offering expert advice on the right type of block paving, pattern, and design that works best for your space.
- Preparation: We’ll prepare the ground by removing the existing surface and ensuring that a solid base layer is laid for maximum stability. This process is crucial for a durable driveway that lasts.
- Block Installation: Our team meticulously lays each block, ensuring perfect alignment and securing the blocks tightly for durability and a flawless finish.
- Sealing & Jointing: After the blocks are set in place, we fill the joints with high-quality sand and apply a protective sealant to prevent staining and protect the driveway from the elements.
Each part of our process is carried out by experienced professionals who have extensive knowledge of UK-specific conditions, ensuring a perfect fit for your driveway.
Different Types of Block Paving Materials
There are several types of block paving materials to choose from, depending on your preferences, budget, and desired outcome. We offer:
- Concrete Blocks: Popular for their cost-effectiveness and durability, concrete blocks are perfect for homeowners who want a functional, low-maintenance driveway.
- Clay Pavers: Clay blocks offer a more traditional look with a rich colour palette, perfect for homes with classic or period-style architecture.
- Permeable Paving: Ideal for areas with drainage issues, permeable blocks allow water to flow through, reducing flooding risk and maintaining a clean, dry surface.
Our team will help you select the best material for your block paving driveway, ensuring it suits both your practical needs and design preferences.

Block Paving Driveway Maintenance: Keep Your Driveway Looking New
Block paving is a relatively low-maintenance option for driveways, but with some simple upkeep, it will stay in excellent condition for many years. Here’s how to maintain your block paving driveway:
Regular Cleaning and Sealing
Cleaning your driveway every six months using a pressure washer will keep it free of dirt, moss, and algae. Applying a high-quality sealant every few years will protect the surface and keep it looking fresh.
Joint Sand Replenishment
Over time, the sand in between the blocks may wash away. We recommend replenishing the joint sand every couple of years to prevent shifting and ensure stability.
With these easy maintenance tips, your block paving driveway will remain an attractive feature of your property for many years.
