Block Paving Driveways in Kent

Professionally Installed Block Paving Driveways

Block paving combines a distinctive appearance with the durability required for everyday driveway use. Individual paving blocks can be arranged in different patterns and combined with contrasting borders or edging, giving homeowners considerable flexibility over the appearance of the finished driveway.

The range of available styles means block paving can complement both traditional and contemporary properties. We can discuss the look you want to achieve and consider how the driveway will work alongside the house, entrance, paths and surrounding landscaping.

Block Paving Styles & Finishes

One of the biggest advantages of block paving is the freedom it provides when designing the finished driveway. Different block colours, sizes, laying patterns, borders and edging details can be used to create anything from a simple, understated driveway to a more decorative entrance.

Contrasting blocks can also be used to define the perimeter of the driveway or highlight particular areas. The right choice will depend on the style of the property, the size and shape of the driveway and your own preferences, and we can discuss suitable options when planning your project.

Replacing an Existing Driveway

A worn, uneven or dated driveway can have a significant impact on the appearance of the front of a property. Replacing it with block paving provides an opportunity to improve both the appearance of the entrance and the practicality of your off-road parking.

Where required, the existing driveway can be removed before the area is excavated and prepared for the new paving. At this stage we can also consider the existing levels, drainage and layout, allowing any necessary groundwork to be addressed before the blocks are laid.

Ground Preparation for Block Paving

Good block paving starts with the work beneath the finished surface. Driveways need to withstand regular vehicle traffic, making appropriate excavation and preparation of the underlying base an essential part of the installation.

A&A Construction & Surfacing has extensive groundwork experience, allowing us to undertake the preparation as part of the complete driveway project. Once the ground and base have been properly prepared, the paving can be laid and finished to create the completed surface.

Driveway Drainage & Levels

Water management needs to be considered when planning a new block paved driveway. The existing levels, proposed driveway layout and method of construction can all influence how surface water is managed around the property.

We consider drainage and levels during the preparation stages rather than treating them as an afterthought. Where additional drainage work is required as part of the project, our experience in groundworks and drainage means this can be incorporated into the driveway installation.

Block Paved Paths, Borders & Entrances

Block paving does not need to stop at the driveway itself. Matching or complementary paving can be used for paths, entrance areas and other features around the front of the property, while contrasting borders can help define different spaces and provide additional visual detail.

Our wider landscaping and construction services include paths, patios, steps, brickwork and groundworks, enabling us to coordinate surrounding improvements with your new driveway where required.

Creating Additional Off-Road Parking

For homeowners looking to increase the amount of usable parking at their property, a new block paved driveway can provide a practical and attractive solution. This may involve changing the existing layout, extending a driveway or converting another suitable area at the front of the property.

Where a new access is also required, our dropped kerb service means the driveway and vehicle crossover can be considered together. Any necessary permissions should be established before work affecting the highway or pavement proceeds.
