A practical approach to block paving driveways
A paved driveway needs more than attractive blocks. The sub-base must be stable, the edges have to hold the paving in place and the finished levels need to direct water sensibly. We set out the pattern around gates, paths, walls and entrance lines so the job feels balanced rather than pieced together.
Block paving is a familiar choice on Dublin driveways because it can suit everything from compact semi-detached frontages to larger entrances. The best-looking jobs usually keep the pattern simple and use borders where they add definition rather than decoration for its own sake.
What can be included
- Block paving and cobble-style driveway layouts
- Patterns and borders to suit the frontage
- Prepared sub-base and firm edge restraints
- Careful cuts around pillars, drains and paths
- Repairable modular surface if individual areas ever need lifting
