Many people don’t consider block paving for their driveway or patio because they believe their choices are limited when it comes to creativity and design. This couldn’t be further from the truth – in reality, block paving for driveways and patios is still one of the best options available to homeowners. Block paving in Newcastle under Lyme is hard wearing and will require very little maintenance. Block paving won’t wear down over time and it isn’t prone to cracks like tarmac.

You can have complete flexibility over your own design and almost anything is possible, whether you want a circular design with lots of colour or a criss-cross design that utilise the same colour, there are almost endless options to choose from.

Pathways

For pathways, block paving is an ideal material choice. You won’t be able to create circular designs or swirls, but you will be able to add whatever colours you want. Block paving is very low maintenance, but now and again you might find that weeds or moss grows in-between your bricks. This can be treated in a matter of minutes but the blocks themselves don’t fade in colour over time. With paving stone pathways, you increase the chances of weeds and you also run the risk of them cracking if a lot of pressure is applied. Block paving is very hard wearing and the smaller sized stones offer an excellent support structure. Because the blocks are smaller in size, many people choose to have curved pathways running through the garden or round the side of their properties and even from the driveway to the front door.

Driveways

Block paved driveways don’t get slippery when wet and vehicle weight won’t crack the stones.
