Driveways

Block Paving

Block paving is still the most popular driveway surface across Wiltshire, and for good reason. It is tough, it comes in dozens of colours and shapes, and if a section is ever damaged you can lift and relay individual blocks rather than patch the whole drive. We lay every block on a compacted base with a proper haunched edge, so nothing sinks or spreads after the first winter.

  • Excavation and a compacted, well-drained sub-base
  • Concrete-haunched edge restraints to lock the blocks in place
  • Your choice of colour, block size and laying pattern, including borders
  • Kiln-dried sand jointing and a whacker-plate finish
  • Drainage falls and channel drains where the site needs them

FAQs

Block Paving questions

Will weeds grow through block paving?

Kiln-dried sand joints and a well-compacted base keep weeds down. An occasional brush and a top-up of jointing sand keeps it that way.

Can you match my existing paving?

Often, yes. Bring us the block name or a photo and we will source a match or the closest current equivalent.

How long does block paving last?

A well-laid block paved driveway on a proper base lasts for decades, and because blocks lift and relay individually, the odd repair is simple and inexpensive.

Do I need planning permission?

Most driveways that drain to a border, soakaway or permeable surface fall under permitted development. We build to those rules and will tell you if your job is an exception.
