Block Paving FAQs
Most UK domestic addresses don’t require planning permission, unless your drive exceeds 5 m² of front-garden paving without adequate drainage (to comply with Sustainable Drainage Systems – SuDS). Always check local council regulations before starting.
With quality installation and proper maintenance, block paving can last 20 to 25 years. The interlocking block system and strong sub-base enhance longevity, especially when laid in durable patterns such as herringbone.
Allow at least three days for the jointing sand to settle and bedding to compact before driving. In cooler or wetter weather, you may need to wait a little longer. This ensures the paving beds properly and remains stable.
DIY installation is possible if you’re confident with groundwork—excavation (~150 mm), sub-base (MOT Type 1 aggregate), bedding sand, and edge restraints. But to achieve perfect drainage, compaction, and crisp laying patterns, hiring a professional is often wise.
Block paving offers a striking aesthetic with varied colours, patterns (like herringbone or stretcher bond), strong durability under vehicle loads, and easier repairs—individual blocks can be replaced without redoing the entire surface. It’s generally longer-lasting than tarmac and provides better foothold than gravel.
Regular sweeping keeps debris and weeds at bay. Use weed-resistant jointing sand or polymeric sand after cleaning, seal every few years to prevent staining, and address any loose or sunken blocks promptly to avoid bigger repairs.
