Block paving drives, paths and edging
We lay block paving as full surfaces and steps, and as the neat block edging round our tarmac drives.
Block paving as the whole surface
A block-paved drive or path is laid course by course on a prepared stone base with a bedding layer, then compacted and jointed. Done well it looks smart and can be lifted and repaired in sections if a service pipe ever needs reaching.
Block edging on tarmac
Many of our finished drives pair a black tarmac surface with a block edging course along one or both sides, as in our curved drives round lawns. It frames the drive, holds the edge and makes it look finished.
Steps and paths
We also build steps and paved paths up to the house. If your job needs levels changed, say so when you ring.
Choosing blocks
Colour, size and laying pattern all change the look. We will talk you through what we would lay.
