What Is Block Paving?

Block paving is undoubtedly one of the most common and popular types of driveway found in the UK, using blocks or bricks to form patterns that are held in place with sub-base and sand. It is popular thanks to its easy installation and versatile capabilities – once you’ve prepared the ground you simply need to lay the bricks in your chosen pattern and seal them in place! Whilst it is incredibly simple to install, it can be a truly beautiful addition to your home, with pattern options available to suit everyone’s unique tastes.

Aesthetics

One of the most important features of any household feature is how it looks, so it’s important that you’re able to find the right style when you’re choosing the designs for your new driveway. Block paving driveways are ideal for those who want their driveway to create a more stylish initial image for their home, with the option to personalise the pattern from simple designs to intricate patterns that really catch the eye.

Maintenance
