Block Paving

Block paving offers the best combination of appearance, durability, and repairability. Individual blocks can be lifted for access to services and replaced if damaged. Patterns and colours allow creative designs that enhance your property.

The key to long-lasting block paving is the base. We excavate to proper depth, install compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base, lay a sharp sand bed, and install blocks with appropriate edge restraint. Without this preparation, blocks shift, sink, and become uneven.

Permeable block paving allows rainwater to drain through the surface, reducing runoff and flooding risk. It also satisfies planning requirements for front garden hard surfaces.

How long does block paving last?

20-25 years with proper installation and base. Individual blocks can be replaced if damaged, extending the overall lifespan.

Is permeable block paving more expensive?

Slightly, due to different base requirements. But it eliminates the need for separate drainage, which can offset the cost.

Can you match my existing block paving?

Usually yes. Blocks fade over time, so new sections may look different initially. We can source matching blocks from specialist suppliers.
