Block Paving Specialists
Block paving remains one of the most popular choices for homeowners looking to improve the appearance and function of their outdoor spaces. At Firmstone Drives & Patios Ltd, we install block paving across Surrey. Whether you're updating a driveway, creating a new patio, or adding paths around your property, block paving offers a neat, structured finish that works well with a range of layouts.
Why Choose Block Paving?
Block paving is known for its strength and flexibility. If a section becomes damaged, individual blocks can be replaced without disturbing the whole area. It’s suitable for driveways, paths, patios, and even commercial spaces.
Benefits include:
- Hard-wearing and long-lasting
- Easy to maintain and repair
- Available in various colours and styles
- Works well with edging and features
- Suitable for domestic and commercial use
Design Options
We offer a wide range of block shapes, sizes, and colours. You can choose from standard layouts or custom designs. Popular patterns include herringbone, basketweave, and stretcher bond. Our team can advise on what works best for your space.
Ground Preparation
We dig out the area and lay a compacted sub-base to prevent movement. Blocks are laid on a sharp sand bed and finished with jointing sand. The area is then compacted to lock everything in place and ensure a solid, even surface.
Uses of Block Paving
Block paving is suitable for more than just driveways. We also install it for:
- Garden paving
- Front paths
- Patios
- Courtyards
- Commercial forecourts
Low-Maintenance Option
Once laid, block paving needs minimal upkeep. Occasional cleaning and weeding between joints help keep it in good condition. We also offer cleaning and re-sanding services to restore older paving.
