Block Paving Patios in Somerset, Bristol & Devon
A block paved patio gives you a warm, characterful garden surface with patterns, borders and tones that suit period and modern homes alike - built on a proper base so it stays flat and solid for years.
A great driveway starts underneath the surface: proper sub-base preparation, drainage and edge restraints before the finish goes down.

Blocks laid to pattern with contrasting borders if chosen, cut neatly around features, jointed and compacted.

Block Patios: your questions answered
Block paving or slabs for a patio?
Blocks suit traditional looks, curves and patterned designs, and individual blocks are easy to replace. Large-format porcelain or sandstone slabs give a more open, contemporary feel. We install both - we'll show you options at your quote visit and give you an honest comparison for your garden.
Will the patio drain properly?
Yes - we set falls away from the house as standard and add discreet drainage channels where a garden's levels need them. Water should never sit against your walls or damp proof course.
How long does a block paved patio take?
Most patios take two to four days depending on size, access and groundworks. We'll confirm the timescale in your written quote.
