Block paving can look great as a driveway. It is a stylish and functional solution to your driveway and can give your home great kerb appeal. Whether you want a classic herringbone design or something a little different, there are many block paving options and materials available to you. The bricks found in block paving are most commonly manufactured from clay, but some are made of different composite materials. Among the main advantages to block paving is that if some of the bricks get damaged over time, they can be replaced easily. In addition, it means that it is simpler to carry out work under the surface of the paving without leaving a mark. The most common pattern that driveway companies lay is the herringbone pattern because it has the strongest interlock, rendering it a fantastic choice for driveways. The tradesperson creates the herringbone pattern by placing the blocks at 45 degrees or 90 degrees to the perpendicular. Both types of herringbone design create a stylish and appealing look for your driveway that will make your home look fantastic to buyers. Complete our online form to speak to up to 4 driveway companies who can provide you with a quote for a block-paved driveway.

Goodwick is a coastal town in Pembrokeshire, south-west Wales, immediately west of its twin town of Fishguard. The coasts of Wales went through Norse raids throughout the Viking Era and, in the latter 10th century, Norse trading posts and settlements eventually became developed. Goodwick was a small fishing village in the parish of Llanwnda, but in 1887 work started on a train connection and harbour, and the village proliferated to service this. The principal industry is now tourism although in the town's industrial past brick making was formerly an important sector. Some fishing still occurs on a modest scale however most activity is centred on Milford Haven. The regional beach, Goowick Sands, is where the defeated French invasion force convened just before their outright surrender on 24 February 1797. Fishguard and Goodwick railway station served local rail travellers from the town, and from close-by Fishguard, until the line was effectively closed to such guests by the decrease in service to boat trains only in 1964. After this, trains merely served Fishguard Harbour and the station fell into disrepair. Following financial investment from Network Rail and Pembrokeshire County Council the station has actually now been re-built and was reopened for passengers once again, on 14 May 2012. It is served by the boat trains and the recently introduced regional trains. The town is additionally served by the Fishguard town service bus, which runs alternately from Harbour Village or Stop-and-Call, originally a distinct settlement, to Fishguard town hall. Two Fishguard to St. Davids bus routes additionally travel through the town. For all your home enhancements, make sure to find trusted experts in Goodwick to make certain of quality.

• Identify and mark out the area to be excavated.
• Dug out the area until you reach a suitable level
• Ensure that the proposed finish level is 150mm underneath the damp proof course in any of the adjoining building’s brick.
lEdge Restraints
• Build a 100mm depth-thick concrete foundation with the help of a concrete mixer, 1 part cement and 6 parts ballast.

• Ensure the blocks are placed at about 10mm to 15mm above the required finish level.
• Make sure the blocks used are between 3-5 packs as you proceed with your desired pattern. You may need to cut smaller block pieces to fill smaller gaps.
lFinishing Touches
• Clear out the area to ensure no debris is left on the blocks.
• 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
• Repeat the process until the joints are full of sand.
