Your surface / Block paving
Pattern. Texture. Character.
Build the look around your home: a quiet grey, a warmer tone or a contrasting border. Individual blocks give the surface its rhythm.
01 / The look
Make it feel
part of home.
Think about the pattern at the entrance, the colour beside your brickwork and where the driveway meets paths and planting.
02 / The practical side
Start below
the surface.
Ask to see physical samples outdoors. Discuss ground preparation, edge restraint, drainage and how any existing uneven areas will be dealt with.
Every property needs its own assessment. Surface choice alone does not establish suitability or resolve permissions.
Bring these questions.
Can the existing driveway stay underneath?
The condition, levels and suitability of the existing construction need to be checked on site. A photograph alone cannot settle this.
What should a quote explain?
Ask for the proposed preparation, material specification, drainage, edging, removal of waste and access arrangements to be set out clearly. Discuss what is excluded as well as what is included.
Not sure this is the right finish?
Compare the other materials, and bring a photo of the house and an idea of how you use the space. You do not need a final design to start thinking.
