What is Block Paving?

Block paving, also known as brick paving, is a widely used method for creating durable and attractive hard surfaces for driveways, patios, walkways, and other outdoor areas.

Block paving involves using specially manufactured concrete or clay blocks that are individually laid on a prepared base in specific patterns. The blocks come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colours, and textures, allowing for a high degree of customisation.

Block paving starts with excavating the area, laying a compacted sub-base, and installing edging restraints. A sand layer is then spread and levelled, followed by laying the blocks in the chosen pattern and brushing sand into the joints to lock the blocks in place. Finally, the entire surface is compacted to ensure stability and a smooth, level finish.

What are the benefits?

Aesthetic Appeal: Block paving offers a wide range of colours, styles, and patterns, allowing for a highly customizable and attractive finish that can complement any property.

Durability: Properly installed block paving is extremely durable and can withstand heavy traffic and harsh weather conditions, making it ideal for driveways and high-traffic areas.

Repair and Maintenance: Individual blocks can be easily lifted and replaced if they become damaged or stained, making maintenance straightforward and cost-effective.

Permeability: Some types of block paving are designed to be permeable, allowing rainwater to drain through the surface and reducing the risk of flooding and standing water.

Value Addition: A well-designed and properly installed block paving surface can enhance the curb appeal and value of a property.
