Block Paving in Kent
Block paving suits most homes because you can choose the colour, size and laying pattern, from a simple stretcher bond to herringbone, which interlocks best where cars turn. Contrasting borders and banding can frame the drive or mark out parking spaces.
We lay block paving for domestic and commercial clients across Kent, East and West Sussex and south-east London. The method is the same on every job: dig out, membrane, a compacted sub-base and a screeded bed of sharp sand, then the blocks, cut neatly at the edges and held by a concrete haunch. Kiln-dried sand is brushed into the joints and the surface is compacted to lock it together.

Quality You Can Depend On
A block paved drive should stay level for years. That comes down to compacting each layer of the base properly and fitting edge restraints that stop the blocks creeping, and those are the parts we never rush.
If you want rain to soak away rather than run off, permeable block paving is an option: the joints are wider and filled with fine grit, and an open-graded sub-base lets water drain through. Existing block drives with sunken areas or broken blocks can often be lifted and relaid rather than replaced.
