Enhance Your Outdoor Space with Block Paved Patios
What Are Block Paved Patios?
Imagine stepping into your garden, greeted by a pristine patio exuding elegance and durability. That’s what block-paved patios from Create Driveways & Patios Ltd can offer. Block-paved patios are outdoor spaces paved with individual units or “blocks.” These blocks are typically made from various materials, such as concrete, clay, or natural stone, and are available in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and colours. The key to their popularity lies in their versatility and ability to create stunning patterns and designs.
How Are Block Paved Patios Installed?
Setting up a block-paved patio involves careful attention to detail and calls for professional skill and exactness. Here’s a quick glimpse into the installation steps:
- Site Preparation
The area for the patio is excavated to the required depth, ensuring proper drainage. - Ground works
Proper ground work is crucial to prevent future settlement and unevenness. We take great care in this phase, ensuring the ground is compacted and stable. - Sub-base
A layer of compacted aggregate is laid as the patio’s foundation to provide stability. - Edging
Bordering blocks are installed to define the patio’s shape and hold the main blocks in place. - Sand Bedding
A layer of sand is spread over the sub-base, providing a level surface for the blocks. - Block Placement
The blocks are carefully arranged in the desired pattern, ensuring uniformity and precision. - Compaction
A compactor is used to settle the blocks into the sand and ensure a stable, level surface. - Jointing Sand
No-weed kiln dried sand is brushed into the gaps between the blocks, locking them in place. - Sealing
Optional sealing can be applied to enhance the appearance and durability of the patio.

What are the benefits of block-paved patios?
Durability
Block-paved patios are renowned for their exceptional durability. The individual blocks are manufactured to withstand heavy foot traffic, the elements, and the test of time. We also pride ourselves on using no-weed kiln dried sand to protect your patio for longer.
This means your patio will remain in pristine condition for years to come, even in the face of harsh weather conditions.
Design Flexibility
One of the standout features of block-paved patios is their design versatility. With a vast array of colours, shapes, and patterns available, you have the creative freedom to design a patio that perfectly complements your home’s aesthetic. Whether you prefer a classic, contemporary, or rustic look, block paving can be customised to match your vision.
Low Maintenance
Homeowners appreciate the minimal maintenance required for block-paved patios. Unlike natural stone or wood, which often demand regular sealing, staining, or cleaning, block paving is relatively hassle-free. Routine maintenance involves occasional weeding and sweeping to keep the surface looking its best.
Improved Property Value
Adding a well-designed block paved patio can significantly boost the value of your property. Potential buyers are drawn to the aesthetic appeal and functionality of outdoor spaces, making a block-paved patio an attractive selling point. It not only enhances your home’s kerb appeal but also expands your living space, making it a worthwhile investment.
Environmentally Friendly
Block-paved patios contribute to environmentally responsible landscaping. The permeable nature of the blocks allows rainwater to drain naturally into the ground, reducing the risk of flooding and erosion. This sustainable approach to landscaping helps maintain the local ecosystem and minimises the need for additional drainage systems.
