Block paving can look good as a driveway. It is a stylish and functional answer to your driveway and can give your home great kerb appeal. Whether you want a classic herringbone design or something a bit different, there are many block paving materials and possibilities available to you. The bricks used in block paving are manufactured from clay commonly, but some are made up of different composite materials. One of the main advantages to block paving is that if a few of the bricks get damaged over time, they can be replaced easily. It also means that it's easier 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 since it has the strongest interlock, which makes it a great choice for driveways. The tradesperson creates the herringbone design by setting the blocks at 45 degrees or 90 degrees to the perpendicular. Both types of herringbone pattern create a stylish and appealing look for your driveway that will make your home look fantastic to potential owners.

Driveway work is usually done in the warmer half of the year. This is partly to avoid bad weather. If you want to get ahead and avoid waiting for a contractor to be free, you should try getting in touch with a professional in the early spring so a date can be booked for install as soon as practically possible.

After spending huge bucks to install the block pavings, the last thing any homeowner would want to discover is weed taking over the prized asset. Fortunately, this is a problem that can be effectively handled in a few simple steps provided in this article.

• Leave the washed area to dry.
l Sand The Joints
• Check the weather forecast to ensure there’s about 24 to 48 hours of dryness as its important for both sand and sealant to do a perfect job.
• Put sand between the gaps and push it down with your small brush until its levelled.

• The sealing process should be done immediately and sanding.
• Clean up the patio
• Perform a test using a small area
• Apply the sealant
• Apply the second of sealant
• Leave to dry for about 2 to 3 hours.

One thing you should know about block paving a drive is that it can be very expensive depending on a number of factors such as the materials to be incorporated, block paving pattern, labour cost as well as the size of the drive in question.

Here, we’ve provided a breakdown of the block paving cost to ensure that you’ll not get ripped off.
