Block paving is one of the most popular materials for drives and
paths. It is cost effective, durable and can be laid in many
patterns, colours, styles and finishes. It can also be easily
maintained, and in cases of stains and damage, individual blocks
replaced.
We use 60mm blocks for strength & for heavy domestic traffic.
Firstly preparation and installation is of great importance to
maintain a firm grounding for your completed driveway therefore
after using a small compact digger and concrete
breaker we remove your current concrete and/or grassed/soil area.
We then remove all of this waste and then place down a type 1 sub
base which is solid stone. (You may have seen some driveways with
problems, sinking, uneven blocks even puddles of water this is where
less diligent companies have not prepared the area to be paved
correctly, they have cut their costs and corners).
We then place a 25mm-50mm layer of compacted sharp sand over your
type 1 sub base. We then screed the sand to our correct falls and
levels, every driveway is different dependent on land fall.
We then put in the drainage channels if needed, alter manholes and
use special man hole covers that our blocks fit into the top of,
called recessed covers, which disguises unsightly manholes and of
course drains.
After this we lay the block paviors to your chosen colour and block
pattern design. We then cut all of the perimeter blocks which are
then cut into the perimeter border blocks.
Our next stage is to brush kiln dried sand in to the completed
paving and the blocks are given a final pass with a compactor plate,
known to many as a wacker plate.
Our final stage is to carefully check over all of our work and make
sure you are 100% happy with your new driveway.
Then of course we request your payment or outstanding payment if a deposit was paid during the installation process. We issue you with a receipt showing all of your payments and end balance, this is also your guarantee so keep it safe.
