Block paving in Kent
A new block paved driveway can help give your property a more premium look, without the price tag of resin or natural stone. Block paving is available in various colours and finishes, and it can also be used to create feature patterns. Choose the colour you like, add some edging, and block paving will give your driveway a neat, modern feel.
Did you know… it’s easy for an inexperienced company to mis-sell a block paved driveway. Sand should always be kept to a minimum – a compressed depth of 30mm is plenty. Too much sand can cause your driveway to sink! You also need to be careful with weed-free membranes – the cheapest ones on the market won’t allow water through, which can ultimately lead to dips in the driveway. Remember – the cheapest option isn’t always the best option. If you have any concerns, please talk to us. We can advise further.
What is a block paved driveway?
Block paving consists of paving slabs that come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours. One of the main things to know about block paving is that it is highly versatile, making your driveway as unique as you like. When you choose block paving, you are going to be spoilt for choice. We use a diamond cut saw to cut down paving bricks and slabs, meaning the finish is always neat and professional.
It is important to note that block paving can often be mis sold. Some companies may use a weed membrane underneath the sand, which is going to be of little help as any weeds will come from falling debris, not from below. It can also create problems with the permeability of the sand, causing the driveway to sag. We use modern and sophisticated methods to combat this. We offer a weed resistant sand, which is much more effective, and ensure we keep sand layers thin and even to prevent sagging.
What are the benefits of a block paved driveway?
Block paving is a versatile driveway option with a lot to offer. Here are some of the reasons why you should consider it:
- Versatility. Block paving can be used to create a vast combination of patterns and colours.

- Aesthetics. Choose the colours and textures you want for a modern or traditional finish.
- Durability. Block paving is durable, and we can use optional sealants to prolong life further.
