Block Paving in Yelverton

Block paving can look great as a driveway. It is a stylish and functional answer to your driveway and will give your home great kerb appeal. Whether you want a classic herringbone design or something a little different, there are many block paving materials and options available to you. The bricks used in block paving are most commonly made of clay, but some are made up of different composite materials. Among the main benefits to block paving is that if some 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 because it has the strongest interlock, which makes it a fantastic choice for driveways. The tradesperson creates the herringbone design by placing the blocks at 45 degrees or 90 degrees to the perpendicular. Both types of herringbone pattern create an elegant and appealing look for your driveway that can make your home look fantastic to potential buyers.

Yelverton

Yelverton is a large town on the south-western side of Dartmoor, Devon, in England. When Yelverton train station (on the Great Western Railway (GWR) line from Plymouth to Tavistock) opened up in the 19th century, the village came to be a prominent house for Plymouth travelers. The railway is now closed, yet the Plym Valley Railway has reopened an area of it. Yelverton is well known for Roborough Rock - a noticeable mass of stone near the Plymouth road on the edge of neighboring Roborough Down, near the southern end of the landing strip. It offered its name to the Rock Hotel, constructed as a farm during the Elizabethan duration, however transformed in the 1850s to cater for expanding tourism in the area. The location to the south as well as west of the roundabout at the centre of the town was resolved in late Victorian and Edwardian times, with many grand and luxurious vacation homes. A location created at regarding the same time on an odd designed tract to the south of the Tavistock road is referred to as Leg o' Mutton Corner. At the start of the 2nd World War, an airfield (RAF Harrowbeer) was built at nearby Harrowbeer as a competitor terminal for the air support of Devonport Dockyard and the Western Approaches. A 19th century balcony of houses, currently mostly exchanged shops, had to have its upper floor removed to provide a much easier strategy. One tall structure which was not modified was St. Paul's Church, but the tower was struck by a plane, leading to a warning light being fitted. The format of the runways is still extremely clear and although they are considerably grassed over, the many planet and block safety shelters constructed to safeguard the fighters from strike on the ground are all still in position. Some American airmen and also anti-aircraft battery units were based right here during the 2nd half of the war. A plane carrying President Roosevelt landed below when its original location was fogbound.

how much is block paving?

So have you decided to lay block paving on your property? If yes, then knowing how much it would cost would help you prepare a budget and set out a plan before commencement of the project. The cost of block paving depends on a wide range of factors such as the the size of the area in question, cost of labour as well as the type of brick and block paving to be used. So how much does block paving cost? In this article, we’ll give you an general idea of the cost of laying of block paving on a driveway so you can estimate your cost according to your personal requirements and needs.

For a small to medium sized driveway featuring a complex design, the block pavings’ cost starts from a range between £3,000 to £4,000, meanwhile that of a large sized pathway will jump to a range between £6,500 to £7,500. And depending on the complexity of the design, the final cost of the project can be greatly impacted as it would also take a longer period of time to be completed. For the same small to medium sized pathway featuring a simple design which usually takes up to 3 to 4 days will cost within a range of £4,500 to £5,500. While a complex design such as a herringbone pattern will take up to 5 to 6 days and costing within a range of £5,000 to £6,000.

Furthermore, there are also other factors that can determine the price of block paving and another example is the current condition. This includes the preparation work to be carried out before laying the block paving can be a time consuming task especially when the driveway is in a terrible condition and this comes with a high labour cost. Another factor to be considered is the materials used in making the block paving such as stone, concrete, cement, composite and resin - they’re all available in various range of colours and textures. They play a key role in the block paving cost.

what sand for block paving?

Have you decided to install block paving and wondering what the best sand to be applied to the joints is in order to achieve a perfect job? Well, you’re at the right place! This is one of the most frequently asked questions when it comes to block paving and we seek to give you a reliable solution once and for all.

The best sand for block paving is a kiln-dried sand. It’s an extremely fine sand which has been dried in a kiln to get rid of all the water before it’s incorporated to achieve the best results. Therefore, the sand contains no moisture and is commonly used to fill the joints of block paving to keep the paving’s structure rigid and strong. It also goes a long way to prevent the ingress of water while stopping the paving from moving and becoming loose. The major reason why the paving sand must be dried is to allow it flow easily into the joints as well as the block paving’s gaps. As result of this smooth flowing to the bottom of the joints, there will be no sand sticking to the sides of the pavers.

Another major reason why kiln-dried sand is commonly applied to the block paving’s joints is to prevent water from penetrating the paved area. It also tightens the individual pavers together to prevent from moving and becoming loose. In the event whereby you happen to leave the joints of your block paving without kiln dried sand, it’s highly likely that they’ll sink as a result of water penetration and the blocks will become very loose. After washing block paving, it’s very important to also replace any sand washed off in the process once the paving is dried to prevent water ingress into the joints.

When's the best time to get driveway work done?

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.
