About Block Paving

What is a Block Paving Driveway?

A block paving driveway is constructed using interlocking concrete or clay blocks arranged in a chosen pattern. These blocks are laid onto a prepared sub-base and sand bed, creating a strong, durable, and visually appealing surface.
Unlike poured surfaces, block paving is made from individual units, meaning it is flexible, resistant to cracking, and easy to repair. It’s ideal for homes seeking long-lasting style combined with structural strength.
