Block Paved Driveways
Enhance Your Home's Kerb Appeal
What is a Block Paved Driveway?
A block paved driveway is a type of surface covering that uses interlocking paving blocks to create a visually striking and highly durable driveway. These blocks come in a variety of shapes, colours, and sizes, allowing for endless design possibilities. Block paving is renowned for its versatility, making it a popular choice for homeowners seeking a unique and stylish way to enhance their driveways.
How Are Block Paved Driveways Installed?
The installation of block paved driveways is a meticulous process that requires precision and expertise. Here’s a brief overview of the installation steps:
- Site Preparation
Before the paving process begins, our team thoroughly prepares the site. This involves removing existing materials and ensuring a stable, well-drained base. - Sub-base Installation
A strong sub-base is essential for the longevity of your block-paved driveway. We carefully install a lean mix concrete base, and compact it to create a stable foundation. - Edge Restraints
To maintain the integrity of the design and prevent movement, edge restraints are installed along the perimeter of the driveway. - Sand Bedding
A layer of sharp sand is spread over the compacted sub-base, providing a stable and level surface for the blocks. - Block Paving Installation
The interlocking blocks are meticulously laid in the desired pattern. Attention to detail is crucial to achieve a flawless finish. - Compaction and Jointing
Once the blocks are in place, we use a compactor to settle them into the sand bedding. Kiln-dried sand is then brushed into the joints, securing the blocks in position. - Final Compaction
To ensure a solid, even surface, the driveway is compacted one final time, ensuring the blocks are securely in place. - Cleaning
The driveway is thoroughly cleaned to remove any residue. - Sealing
Sealing is recommended after the first year to allow effervescence to leave the blocks first.
