Block Paving

MC Driveways - Block Paving Driveways, Paths & Patios

Block Paving

In preparation for the block pave driveway:

We first dig out the old drive,

compact with hardcore,

lay a weed free membrane,

lay sharp sand, level accordingly

Block paved driveways are a popular choice for many homeowners as they transform the kerb appeal of a home and create a stunning, individual look as they can be customised with patterns, kerbs and steps.

Our Process

Driveway 1

Here we dig up the old driveway in preparation for the new one.  Once the driveway has been dug out, the area levelled, we lay a hard core down and level and compact. Any drainage, where necessary is laid. 

A weed proof membrane is installed and sharp sand laid, levelled and compacted before laying the block pavers.

Driveway 2

Different block paving designs can be incorporated within the main driveway.

Driveway 3

Extra sand (kiln dried) is brushed between the blocks (joints), and compacted, which allows for the natural movement of vehicles over the blocks, for extra durability

Designs

Our drives have a team whose target is to create designs which will ensure your satisfaction when we build so that you can have your design.

In addition to this you can also design your design by  yourself and we will assess it to see if it is possible to build.  To get an idea of what we can do, we can create kerbs, diamonds and stairs through block paving to ensure you have 100% satisfaction.

Edgings can be created using block paving in different colours to accentuate the driveway.

Benefits

One of the best advantages of installing block paving is that it is incredibly low maintenance. Due to the nature of the material it does not require top polishing and will never need repainting in the future.

In fact, just regularly washing your driveway or patio will do the trick and help keep it looking fresh and bright for years to come. Additionally, block paving can easily withstand harsh, erratic weathers, making it an ideal material for the fluctuating British weather.

Block paving is very durable and is expected to last reliably for at least 20 years. It is a great material for a driveway or patio as it is incredibly hard-wearing and, as such, can easily cope with lots of motor and pedestrian traffic.

In comparison to other surfacing options, block paving is particularly environmentally friendly. This is due to its porous nature, which means block paving provides an area for water to rest during rainy seasons.

You will not notice surface water on your paving, as it will be drawn in by the material.

Drainage can also be incorporated into the block paving.

Also drain covers can be incorporated into the design.

Applications


Block pave pathway

We can also lay and install garden pathways to make it easier for you to get around your home and access all areas of your garden without ruining any of the landscape. 

Paths can lead up to the front or back door and in the garden they can be straight or tailored to the landscape. They can be used to separate areas in the garden.

Block paving is suitable for paths, patios and driveways.  It is a popular product and can be the same colour throughout, if necessary.

 

Steps can be built up to your raised patio or they can be built in front of your front door. This will make it easier for you to get access to your home or to your harden paving and patio.

It will also be adding value as they can be built in the same material as your driveways and patios to help them blend in to the scheme and theme of your outdoor space.

A relaxed open plan lifestyle in the home is now being reflected outdoors too. Look on your garden as an extra room, by bringing the most important elements of indoor life outdoors.

Driveways, patio and paving areas are where specialist contractors can make a real difference to the look as well as the life of your project. Driveways in particular, have to be constructed carefully to withstand the wear that will be put on them.

Patios can enable you to have an outdoor space which you can relax on as well as entertain on for any visitors and guests that you have to your home. Patios are made out of concrete, block paving or Indian sandstone, all of which will be durable and long lasting.

It is an all season feature in your garden as well as being a centre feature and adding value to your home's outdoor space.
