A great driveway starts underneath the surface: proper sub-base preparation, drainage and edge restraints before the finish goes down.
Local considerations in Wellington
Older concrete and tarmac drives across Wellington often need full removal so the sub-base can be rebuilt to take vehicle loads.
Family homes with good-sized gardens frequently combine a new driveway with patio or path work, which should be planned into the levels together.
Rural entrances on the edge of the Blackdowns may need a stronger build-up and firm edge restraints.
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 Wellington - common questions
Which block pattern is best for a Wellington driveway?
Herringbone is normally strongest for vehicle areas because it interlocks under turning loads. Borders frame the drive neatly.
Can you do the driveway and a patio together?
Yes, and it often makes sense to plan levels, drainage and materials across both at once.
Do block-paving quotes include drainage?
Where needed, yes. Falls, channels and water discharge are part of the specification, not optional extras.
