We highly recommend block paving to all our customers over other materials, such as pattern imprinted concrete or tarmac.
Block paving is durable, easy to maintain, and cost effective. It comes in all shapes, sizes and colours to fit any design you have in mind.
If property maintenance is needed after install, simply lift and relay block paving without any damage, repairs or further expense.
From 01/02/24 – 31/07/24 price of block paving will be reduced by 10% for customers that contact us quoting PJSALE10.
The price of block paving will be reduced from the estimated quote provided.
After initial design plans have been made, preparation for removing the existing driveway or patio can begin. Usually this is done with a hydraulic breaker, mini digger and Stihl saw. All debris will be collected together and removed from the premises by vehicle or truck. The remaining ground will be made level and compressed with a compactor plate.
Next we make a solid surface for the driveway or patio using grade 1 stone. This is made level and compressed using the compactor plate.
On top of the grade 1 stone we use sharp sand and cement to create a surface for the blocks to be placed on. We carefully level out the sand to ensure water does not sit on the surface of the blocks.
After the blocking phase is complete, the sides are secured with cement to keep the blocks in place.
Dry sand is brushed over the top of the blocks and compressed into the blocks using the compactor plate. This makes the dry sand seep into the gaps to create a solid bond.
The end result is always impressive.
Block paving is unique in shape and colour. With plenty of styles on the market it can suit any preference.
The most common style is standard rectangle blocks or cobble blocks. They range in colours from sand, brindle, or granite.
We highly recommend you visit a building yard, such as Joseph Parr and see some samples for yourself.
