Block Paving Driveway Installation Process

1. Free Site Visit & Quotation

We begin with a no-obligation visit to assess your space and understand your requirements. You’ll receive a transparent quote with clear pricing.

2. Excavation & Ground Preparation

We excavate the area to the correct depth and install a sub-base using compacted hardcore or MOT Type 1. This forms a solid, stable foundation.

3. Edging & Restraints

Strong edging blocks or kerbstones are installed to contain the paving area and prevent movement over time.

4. Laying the Sand Bedding

A layer of sharp sand is spread evenly and levelled. This bedding layer allows the paving blocks to sit firmly in place.

5. Laying the Block Paving

We lay the chosen paving blocks in your desired pattern, ensuring perfect alignment and consistent spacing.

6. Compacting & Finishing

Once laid, kiln-dried sand is brushed into the joints. The surface is then compacted to bed the blocks and lock everything together.
