Block Paving for Driveways & Patios

Block paving is an excellent option for a new driveway, providing a hard-wearing surface that can withstand regular vehicle use. When installed on a properly prepared sub-base, it offers stability and resistance to movement, even under heavier loads.

For outdoor living spaces, a block paving patio enables creative layouts and defines seating or entertaining areas. The range of colours, shapes, and laying patterns makes it easy to design a patio that blends naturally with existing landscaping.

Block paving is also a practical solution for a driveway replacement, allowing old or damaged surfaces to be removed and rebuilt with a fresh, durable finish.

T Attwell Driveways provides a full-service block paving installation, with all work carried out in-house. This ensures consistent standards from start to finish and clear communication throughout the project.

Each stage is completed with care to ensure the finished surface remains stable, even, and visually consistent.

The pavers can be used to create clean, contemporary driveways or more traditional finishes that complement period homes. For patios, they work well alongside steps, borders, and garden features, helping create a cohesive and practical outdoor space.

A Low-Maintenance Solution for Driveways & Patios

When installed correctly, block paving is a durable surface designed to last for many years. One of its key benefits is ease of repair, as individual blocks can be lifted and replaced without disturbing the surrounding area.

Maintenance requirements are minimal and usually involve keeping the surface clear of debris and ensuring joints remain filled. With routine care, block paving continues to look neat and perform well over the long term.

FAQs – Block Paving

How long does block paving last?

A professionally installed block paving surface can last for many years. Its lifespan depends on factors such as the quality of the groundwork, drainage, and the area’s use. One advantage of block paving is that individual blocks can be replaced if damaged, helping maintain the overall surface and extend its usable life without requiring a full replacement.

Can you remove my old driveway or patio before installing block paving?

Yes, that’s no problem. Our team can remove existing surfaces, clear waste, and properly prepare the area before your new block paving is installed. This ensures correct levels, effective drainage, and a stable base for the new surface.

Does block paving require frequent maintenance?

Block paving is considered low maintenance. Routine care typically involves sweeping to remove debris and occasional washing to keep the surface clean. Over time, jointing sand may need to be topped up, particularly after heavy rainfall or pressure washing. Addressing small issues early helps keep the surface stable and looking tidy.

Can weeds grow between block paving?

Weeds do not grow from underneath block paving, but they can appear in joints if airborne seeds settle on the surface. Keeping the area clean and ensuring joints remain properly filled with sand helps minimise this. Any weeds that appear are usually easy to remove and do not affect the paving structure.

Is block paving a good option for sloped driveways?

Yes, once it’s installed correctly. Proper edging, drainage planning, and secure block laying techniques help prevent movement and ensure the surface remains safe and functional. That’s why it’s important to work with an established and experienced paving contractor, such as T Attwell Driveways.
