A great driveway starts underneath the surface: proper sub-base preparation, drainage and edge restraints before the finish goes down.
Local considerations in Taunton
Older concrete driveways across Taunton often need full removal so the sub-base can be rebuilt to handle vehicle loads.
Newer estates may need driveway widening, matching paths or patio work at the same time, which should be planned into the levels from the start.
For sloped or compact frontages, herringbone patterns, firm edge restraints and drainage details are especially important.
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.

Block Paving in Taunton - common questions
What block-paving pattern is best for Taunton driveways?
Herringbone is usually the strongest choice for vehicle areas because it resists turning forces. Other patterns may suit paths and patios better.
Do block-paving driveways need sealing?
Sealing is optional, not essential. Many customers seal after the driveway has settled and weathered, especially where stain resistance and joint stability matter.
Can you include recessed manhole covers?
Yes. Recessed covers keep inspection chambers accessible while allowing the blocks and pattern to continue across the cover neatly.
