Block paving is by far the most popular surface for a driveway or patio. The wide range of blocks colours and laying patterns allows you to create a unique design to enhance your home.
The base must be at least 100-150mm deep, consisting of MOT 'Type 1' granular material (laid on a 'terram' membrane to stabilise ground and suppress weeds). The sub-base must then be consolidated with a heavy vibrating roller to prevent sinkage.
Drainage is very important and is often ignored because it can be difficult to install and adds cost. As a professional driveway installer we will take this into account and advise you accordingly.
Following the introduction of new legislation in October 2008, you can no longer pave over your garden or existing driveway without considering where the surface water may drain to.
