Block Paving explained
What Block Paving Involves and Who It's For
What it is
Block paving uses individual blocks laid in a pattern over a compacted base and bedding layer, locked in place by edging and jointing sand. It's used as part of garden landscaping.
Who it's for
It suits homeowners who need a hard-wearing surface that copes with regular foot traffic or vehicles, and who want a neat, tidy finish.
When it's needed
Discuss block paving for your proposed garden layout at a free site visit.
Why professional help matters
Block paving depends on depth and compaction. Without enough excavation, a solid sub-base and firm edge restraints, blocks can sink or spread, especially where cars drive and turn.
General garden guidance
Considerations for Your Garden Project
Sunken or loose blocks let water sit and weeds spread, and the problem area usually grows over time.
Risks and escalating costs
- Ruts and dips where vehicles drive
- Edges spreading without proper restraint
- Standing water from poor falls
- Weeds in open joints
Common mistakes homeowners make
- Shallow excavation for vehicle areas
- Missing or weak edge restraints
- Not compacting each layer
- Ignoring where surface water will go
