A great driveway starts underneath the surface: proper sub-base preparation, drainage and edge restraints before the finish goes down.
Local considerations in Wells
Tumbled and muted block ranges often sit well with the period brick and stone common around Wells.
Mendip-edge plots can slope, so interlocking patterns, firm edges and drainage matter to keep the surface stable.
Conservation-area properties may have material considerations, which we factor into block choice and detailing.
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.
