Block Paving Driveways in Exeter
Block paving is a practical option for Exeter driveways where a durable, repairable surface and traditional appearance are more important than a seamless resin finish. For a free written quotation, call 01823 729604 or WhatsApp photos to 07379 046388.
A great driveway starts underneath the surface: proper sub-base preparation, drainage and edge restraints before the finish goes down.
Local considerations in Exeter
Sloping plots and heavy rainfall make sub-base preparation, edge restraint and drainage central to block paving in Exeter.
Newer estates may need driveway widening or replacing thin builder-spec finishes with a stronger construction.
We quote Exeter honestly as a selected Devon service area from our Somerset base, not as a separate local branch.
Installation options
Full excavation and sub-base construction
Block paving depends on the groundworks underneath. We excavate to the right depth, install compacted MOT Type 1 in layers and set firm edge restraints before laying blocks.
Patterns, borders and block choices
Herringbone is normally the strongest driveway pattern. Borders, keylines and colour choices are planned around the property rather than added as an afterthought.
Drainage and long-term maintenance
Correct falls, ACO channels where needed, kiln-dried sand and final compaction help prevent sinking, spreading edges and standing water.

Is block paving suitable for sloping driveways?
