Block paving driveways that stay level
Block paving can look smart for years if the groundwork is done properly. That means digging out soft ground, installing a solid sub-base, compacting everything correctly and getting the drainage right before any blocks are laid.
We build block paving driveways across Kent, East Sussex and Surrey with a focus on the parts you never see: the foundations, the levels and the work that stops dips or movement later on.
Popular block paving options
- Standard block paving in greys, charcoal and multi-tone blends
- Traditional block paving for period or character homes
- Modern paving blocks for clean, minimal driveways
- Edging blocks in contrasting colours to frame the driveway
- Drainage channels to help manage rainwater on sloped driveways
If you prefer, we can recommend block colours that match your property or show you examples from recent driveways.
Driveways built with proper ground preparation
The key to long-lasting block paving is in the groundwork. We excavate to the correct depth, install a compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base, screed the sharp sand evenly and ensure levels fall in the right direction so water does not sit against the house.
Edging stones or kerbs create strength at the sides of the driveway, helping keep everything locked in place under everyday use.
