Why Block Paving Driveways?
Quickly becoming the go-to option for many UK homes, BPD’s allow for an aesthetically pleasing job without the fuss and upkeep of gravelled or grass jobs. Should any problems arise, because of the interlocking system used, single bricks can easily be replaced, something that isn’t so simple on other types of driveways.It is also a good idea for back gardens, saving valuable time on upkeep and maintaining the appearance of the exterior of your property. The materials used are mostly recycled too, so you are helping the environment as well.
First Steps
So you’re considering the block paving driveway. First up you need to think of the colour schemes that you would like. The beauty of this method is that the bricks can be customised to suit any type of driveway and any preference.

Things to Note
