Block Paving | Why Choose It over Alternative Paving Solutions

There are many positives with installing a high quality driveway or patio. It increases the visual appeal at the front of your house as well as providing a desirable environment for you to entertain your friends and family in the garden. One of the most popular types of paving in the UK is block paving as they can come in various materials, shapes and different patterns.

Here are five reasons to choose block paving:

1. Low Maintenance

One of the great advantages of having block paving installed is that there is hardly any maintenance involved. Due to the material it’s made from there is no polishing required and won’t need to be repainted in the future. If you wash your driveway or patio with soap and water on a regular basis this will keep it looking fresh for years. Block paving is also ideal for the sometimes harsh weather we receive in the UK.

2. Highly Versatile

Block paving can come in a variety of colours and styles, so there is something for everyone’s taste. It is also good to create interesting and creative driveway designs as well as intricate patterns and shapes by using different blocks.

3. Visual Masterpiece

Because you can create a wide range of styles with block paving you can enhance the visual appeal of your home. It doesn’t matter if you want a traditional feel or something a bit more striking; block paving is excellent for achieving a striking finish.

4. Kind To the Environment

If you want to create an effective driveway or patio and don’t want to harm the environment then block paving is the answer. Other materials such as tarmac aren’t so kind to the environment and as block paving has a porous nature it provides a place for water to rest during the rainy days. This is much better than water gathering or flooding your driveway or garden.

5. Durable and Hard Wearing

Block paving is extremely durable and has a reliable life span of around 20 years. It is the perfect material for a driveway or patio as it is hard wearing and so can handle a lot of activity from vehicles and pedestrians. You can often find it in airports and docks due to its durability and toughness.
