Block Paving in Hartlepool

Block paving can look great as a driveway. It is an elegant and functional solution 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 possibilities available to you. The bricks used in block paving are made of clay commonly, but some are made up of different composite materials. One of the main benefits to block paving is that if some 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 frequent pattern that driveway companies lay is the herringbone pattern because it has the strongest interlock, rendering it a great 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 pattern create an elegant and interesting look for your driveway that can make your home look fantastic to potential buyers.
