Block Paving Driveways offer a wide range of colours and designs...

Block paving is a versatile and cost effective driveway solution. As well as a range of colours, the following types of blocks can be laid:

Driveway paving
Cobble stones
Retro style paving

During your site survey we can discuss the design, any drainage that will be required for natural water run off and features that you may require such as kerbs and edgings.

Using different coloured blocks, an eye catching finish can be obtained that will provide a long lasting finish.

Block paving is a permeable surface and therefore required no planning permission in front gardens. Please check further down the page for more details.

Tom came round to quote yesterday morning and sent email quote immediately. I asked for a couple of modifications to the quote and these were actioned straight away. Once I was happy to proceed, I had an email (which I missed) and a follow up call because they could fit our job in yesterday afternoon. I was surprised but really pleased to get it done so quickly. Harry and his mate arrived on time and did a great job. Access through our neighbour’s garden, old concrete post and chain link in the way, long extension cable needed, not much room on our side due to our old shed…..nothing was a problem for these guys - they got on with it and were very friendly and polite. Thank you guys - I will recommend you to my family and friends :) Very easy to pay online too!

I wanted some of my patio removed and a concrete ramp built from my back door down to my gate. Tom arrived on time to give the quote which I was happy with, and as it was urgent I was booked in the same week for the works which I was pleased with. The guys who came to do the job were a bit late but were polite and friendly and kept me informed about what they were doing. Very pleased with the end result!

They've done a fantastic job for a very reasonable price. They listened to what I wanted, adapted to changes on the day, and left everything neat and tidy. The result looks high quality, I'm so pleased with it!

Very impressed with the landscaping job that Bobby, Harry and Dom did on our front and back patio. They really listened to and took on board our ideas and have improved the garden immeasurably. Good attention to detail, hard working and professional throughout. Fair price agreed with Tom, who was also a pleasure to deal with. I would definitely recommend and would use again

Everything You Need to Know

Typically, block paving driveways are installed as follows:

Levelled out subbase (after excavation)
150mm layer of type one hardcore
30mm layer of sharp sand (laying course)
Blocks with kiln-dried jointing sand swept over the top

We also use geo-textile membrane to keep the layers separated while allowing water to pass through.

Planning Permission Block Paving

You will not need planning permission if:

It is a replacement driveway
The surface is permeable (block paving is permeable) or naturally drains to the lawn or a border with natural drainage.

For more information check the government website for Permeable surfacing of front gardens.
