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.
