FAQs

How Much Does Block Paving Cost?

Block paving is an investment for your property, and the price depends on several factors including materials, professional installation, and necessary groundwork. The cost can vary based on your region. Key elements influencing the price include the type of blocks and paving you choose, the sub-base required (usually made from compacted crushed stone), labour costs calculated per square meter, and additional expenses such as excavation and waste disposal.

What sand should I use for a block paving driveway?

For laying a block paved driveway, kiln dried sand is the best choice. This type of sand is completely dry and has an extra fine texture, which makes it perfect for locking the blocks securely in place. Unlike regular sand, kiln dried sand doesn't clump together, ensuring a stable and secure structure for your driveway by minimising the risk of movement.

How Long Will Block Paving Last?

Block paving, when properly installed, can last a lifetime. While it does require some maintenance over time, damaged blocks can be easily replaced without redoing the entire driveway. Regular upkeep will minimise issues, making block paving a long-lasting and stylish choice for your driveway.

Can Block Paving Be Laid on Concrete?

Yes, block paving can be laid on concrete, but it depends on the condition of the concrete. It’s not advisable to lay concrete solely to place paving blocks on top. Any issues with the concrete below, such as cracks, can affect the driveway's quality and may require more extensive repairs than just replacing a damaged block. Cracks in concrete can worsen due to freeze-thaw cycles, potentially leading to the need to relay the entire driveway. Before proceeding, have the concrete surface assessed by professionals to ensure it is suitable for block paving.
