Block Paving Driveways in Somerset
Block paving driveways across Somerset need strong ground preparation, restrained edges and drainage that suits the property, whether the job is a small frontage in town or a rural driveway with heavier use.
A great driveway starts underneath the surface: proper sub-base preparation, drainage and edge restraints before the finish goes down.
Somerset block-paving considerations
On flat or low-lying Somerset plots, the block surface must be laid with planned falls and drainage so water does not sit in the sand bed or undermine the sub-base.
Rural properties and larger drives may need stronger construction, while town frontages often need neat borders, recessed covers and compact access planning.
Block paving is repairable, but only if it is built on a compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base with proper edge restraints from day one.
- + Full excavation to the correct depth for vehicle loads
- + Compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base - the foundation of the whole job
- + Screeded sharp sand laying course
- + Concrete-haunched edge restraints so the edges never spread
- + Drainage falls, ACO channels and recessed covers where needed
- + Blocks laid to your chosen pattern, cut neatly at edges
- + Kiln-dried sand jointing and plate compaction
- + Full site clean-up and aftercare guidance
