Why Choose Block Paving and Driveways for Your Home?

There are many different benefits associated with block paving and driveways in the UK, particularly when they are compared to the limited practical alternatives. Whether you’re looking to create an attractive front garden, a comfortable rear garden or a side-driveway on your semi-detached property, we’ll be able to help you realise the perfect design to suit your needs.

Just some of the great advantages of paving when compared to other garden surfaces are:

• Highly Versatile and Customisable – Today’s paving stones is available in a wide variety of both colours and styles. That gives you the opportunity to create stunning patterns on your driveway or patio. This could include intricate designs, simple shapes and much more.Our wide range of coloured paving stones are the perfect choice for your property. Anything from simple neutral colours to natural-looking reds and even pale greens.In some cases, you aren’t limited by square or rectangular paving stones either. We can offer all kinds of shapes and styles to suit your exterior space. Anything from curved, angled or even more diverse shapes can all be an integral part of your driveway or patio design.
• Low Maintenance – Due to their hard-wearing nature, paving requires very little in the way of maintenance. These resistant materials do not need polishing and will never need repainting. All these spaces require is the occasional clean with soap and water. Block paving and stone driveways can easily withstand all kinds of harsh weather conditions with little risk.
• Eco-Friendly – When compared to other potential surfaces for your drives and patios, block paving is extremely environmentally friendly. As these surfaces are largely porous they can help to reduce the risk of standing water causing long-term damage to your property. These materials are also a great option when it comes to enhancing your property’s drainage solutions.
• Durability – The block paving that we can provide is extremely hard-wearing. In most cases, it can be expected to provide completely reliable service for more than 20 years. It can easily handle foot and vehicle traffic without sustaining damage – as such, block paving is commonly used in high-footfall areas of both airports and docks.This substance is also unaffected by a wide range of other materials, including:
  • Oil.
  • Salt.
  • Frost.
  • Most Industrial Chemicals.

Thanks to the interlocking nature of block paving, it can further provide enhanced durability when compared to other kinds of stone-based installations. Another great benefit is that, if damage is somehow caused to one of the panels used in the installation, the entire surface does not need to be uprooted. The damaged stone can simply be replaced with minor costs to you.
