Block Paving in Abberley

Block paving can look great as a driveway. It really is an elegant and functional answer to your driveway and will give your home great kerb appeal. Whether you want a classic herringbone design or something a bit different, there are plenty of block paving materials and options available to you. The bricks found in block paving are most commonly made of clay, but some are made of different composite materials. Among the main benefits to block paving is that if a few of the bricks get broken over time, they can be replaced easily. In addition, it means that it's easier to perform work under the top of paving without leaving a mark. The most common pattern that driveway companies lay is the herringbone pattern since it has the strongest interlock, which makes it a great choice for driveways. The herringbone pattern is established by the tradesperson by setting the blocks at 45 degrees or 90 degrees to the perpendicular. Both types of herringbone pattern create a stylish and interesting look for your driveway that will make your home look fantastic to buyers.

Abberley

Abberley is a little village in North West Worcestershire, England. It is situated in the middle of the River Severn and River Teme. It had a population of 830 in 2001.

There are three parts to the village of Abberley. The oldest side, The Village, was formed in the 12th and 13th century. The Common is the most inhabited section of the village and has a village shop and post office. There is also the primary school and village hall in this part. The Hill is mainly farmland, with a small amount of houses and cottages standing on the steep slopes of Abberley Hill.

Abberley Hall is on the other side of Abberley Hill. It was formerly a country house until 1916 when preparatory school Abberley Hall School moved its premises there.

There are two churches in Abberley. The longest-standing is the run-down St. Michael's Church, although the chancel was restored and is still used for occassional services. St. Mary's Church was built between 1850 and 1852 to take over from St. Michael's to the north of the parish.

When you're looking to have property developments done for your property in Abberley, make sure you always get quotations from a respected firm.

FAQs

can you lay block paving on top of concrete?

Can You Lay Block Paving On Top Of Concrete?

The replacement or improvement of your driveway is unarguably one of the most expensive projects you can undertake in the exterior of your home. When done by a true professional the results can be impressive and visually appealing, however you’d have to pay huge bucks to have this done. This is exactly the situation with block paving as it is not only time consuming, but also a lot more expensive when compared to other types of driveway.

A large chuck of this cost is associated with the removal of the existing driveway. So assuming your old driveway is concrete, can you simply pave over the existing concrete? If yes, will it save you money? The simple and short answer is yes. It’s in fact advisable to pave over concrete as this will not only add around 20% to your home’s value, but also make it look a lot more attractive and pleasing to the eye.

However, there are some problems associated with block paving over concrete. It may be better to remove the concrete in situations whereby the base is substandard. For instance, if the ground underneath the concrete is failing, there’ll most definitely be problems.

Also, there’ll be some issues with settling (not even the cracks). If your concrete is dropping little amounts every year, these can affect the blocks and ultimately lead to dropping of some sections of the block paving in such a way that they’ll no longer be on the same level as the other blocks. Giving a rise to the possibility of drainage issues, tripping hazard and lots more.

Other issues that may crop up can be triggered as a result of using the wrong size block height as well as totally ignoring or overlooking the undulations of the concrete.

• Put kiln dried sand and brush across the whole of the area, ensuring the sands falls between the blocks’ joints.

• Compact the drive with the vibrating plate.

• Brush more kiln dried sand over the area and compact again
