Couldn’t recommend APJK Paving enough! Jamie was extremely professional from start to finish and massively succeeded my expectations. He was polite, helpful and punctual (which is rare these days!). He was able to bring my ideas to life and was happy to make suggestions that best suited the area we had to work with. As for the actual work itself I am extremely pleased with what has been done and it has completely transformed my home! Highly recommend. Thank you very much!

BEFORE

Tobermore Pedesta Driveway Transformation, Fulwood

This Fulwood project involved replacing a cracked, weed-strewn concrete driveway with a full Tobermore Pedesta block paving installation. We excavated the area, laid a proper sub-base and installed Tobermore Pedesta blocks in a mixed grey tone with a contrasting charcoal border, wrapping around the side of the property to give a generous, level parking area right up to the front door.

As a Tobermore approved contractor, we install genuine Tobermore products to manufacturer spec, backed by our own workmanship guarantee. We offer free, no-obligation quotes on all block paving projects.

We'll beat any block paving written quote from another paving contractor.

Block Paving Installation – Our Process

Our block paving installation process ensures a strong, durable surface. Each stage, from groundwork preparation to laying and finishing the paving, is carried out carefully to create a long-lasting driveway or patio.

1. Site Preparation

We remove any existing surface and excavate the area to the correct depth to prepare for the new paving.

2. Sub-Base Installation

A strong sub-base is installed and compacted to create a stable foundation that supports the paving long term.

3. Edging Installation

Durable edging is installed to hold the paving securely in place and give the driveway or patio clean, defined borders.

4. Laying the Block Paving

The paving blocks are carefully laid in your chosen pattern, ensuring consistent spacing and a professional finish.

5. Compacting & Jointing

The surface is compacted and kiln-dried sand is brushed into the joints to lock the blocks securely together.
