Custom Appearance
Choose complementary colours, block sizes, patterns, edging and feature details.
Professionally designed and installed block-paving driveways, paths and patios with lasting kerb appeal.
Block paving combines strength with flexibility. Different colours, sizes, laying patterns and borders can be brought together to create a driveway that complements the age and character of your property.
The finished blocks are only one part of a successful installation. Our team carefully considers excavation depth, sub-base construction, edge restraint, drainage and levels before laying the final surface.

From subtle traditional colours to strong contemporary borders, block paving can be tailored more closely than most driveway surfaces.

Damaged or stained blocks can often be lifted and replaced without renewing the entire surface.
Kerbs, borders and contrasting courses create a neat finish around lawns, beds and entrances.
Correct installation creates a durable surface that enhances the appearance and usability of the property.

A properly constructed foundation helps prevent settlement, movement and drainage problems.
We measure the site and assess access, finished levels and water movement.
The existing surface and unsuitable material are removed to the required depth.
A suitable aggregate foundation is installed and compacted in controlled layers.
Restraints, channels and falls are formed before the paving is laid.
Blocks are aligned, cut, jointed with sand and compacted to complete the surface.
Driveway drainage must be considered before installation begins. We assess the natural fall, entrances, buildings and adjoining surfaces, then recommend appropriate drainage channels, permeable construction or other practical measures.
This attention to groundwork is what helps a new block-paved driveway remain stable, usable and attractive.
