Our Block Paving Installation Process
Proper installation is essential for long-term performance.
Our process includes:
- Excavation and ground preparation
- Installation of a strong sub-base
- Laying of edge restraints
- Precise placement of paving blocks
- Jointing, compaction and finishing
This ensures a stable, durable and visually appealing driveway.
Ground Preparation for Block Paving Driveways
The most important part of a block paving driveway is the groundwork.
We ensure:

- Installation of a solid sub-base
- Correct compaction and levelling
- Effective drainage
Without proper preparation, block paving can sink or move over time, which is why we prioritise this stage.
