Block paving can look good as a driveway. It is an elegant and functional answer to your driveway and will give your home great kerb appeal. Whether you want a classic herringbone design or something a little different, there are plenty of block paving options and materials accessible to you. The bricks used in block paving are manufactured from clay commonly, but some are made of different composite materials. Among the main advantages to block paving is that if some of the bricks get broken over time, they can certainly be replaced. It also means that it's simpler to perform work under the top of paving without leaving a mark. The most common pattern that driveway companies lay is the herringbone pattern because it has the strongest interlock, rendering it a great choice for driveways. The tradesperson creates the herringbone pattern by setting the blocks at 45 degrees or 90 degrees to the perpendicular. Both types of herringbone design create a stylish and appealing look for your driveway that will make your home look fantastic to potential owners.

Hook is a town and civil parish within the Hart district of northern Hampshire, England. It lies 6.2 miles east of Basingstoke and 36 miles northeast of Southampton and 41 miles northeast of London. Before the 18th century, the town was composed of a scattering of farms. Set on the principal London to Exeter stagecoach route, a turnpike road was built at the end of the 18th century to aid the navigation of the Scures Hill. In accordance with the 2011 Census, Hook has a population of 8334 locals. Although the population of the town remains modest, it has witnessed significant expansion since development in the 1980s. Hook continued to expand with the building and construction of the Holt Park residential district between 2004 and 2006. There is a high level of wealth in Hook, with rural estates including Tylney Hall Park and Garden, which is Grade II * listed, and Hook Common, which is a considerable mix of forest and acid heathland. The town has useful and dependable rail connections to London Waterloo and Basingstoke, with indirect routes to Reading, Salisbury and Southampton from Hook Railway Station. The development of the train station in 1883 enabled the growth of the town after railway workers and commuters started to settle in the region. The town is noted for its considerable business community, such as the sizeable Bartley Wood Business Park being under a distance of 1 kilometre from the town centre. For all your house upgrades, make certain to make use of trusted specialists in Hook to make certain of quality.

Your contractor should have access to your driveway and a power source. If they have these things, you don’t need to be there while they’re working on your driveway. However, it’s worth being around if you can so you can clarify details and answer any questions.
Driveway work is usually done in the warmer half of the year. This is partly to avoid bad weather. If you want to get ahead and avoid waiting for a contractor to be free, you should try getting in touch with a professional in the early spring so a date can be booked for install as soon as practically possible.
The most commonly used driveway surfacing materials are gravel, asphalt, concrete and paving - which can be block, slabbed or patten imprinted. Take a look at our product information pages to help you decide which one to use and which one will look best for your driveway.
One thing you should know about block paving a drive is that it can be very expensive depending on a number of factors such as the materials to be incorporated, block paving pattern, labour cost as well as the size of the drive in question. However, before you get started it’s always a good idea to obtain multiple quotes to compare the prices and select the most reasonable quote. Here, we’ve provided a breakdown of the block paving cost to ensure that you’ll not get ripped off.
There are three main types of block paving which includes clay blocks, concrete blocks as well as natural stone. If you were to go for complex block paving patterns and extras such as drainage solutions and edging, you may have to pay a significantly higher price. The size of your drive is also a major determinant of your block paving cost. What’s more? The materials you need as well as the contractors you select will all play a key role in the final cost of block paving your drive.
The material cost for the three types of block paving includes: Clay block £70 to £100 per m2, concrete blocks £20 to £60 per m2 and natural stone £50 to £105 per m2. To calculate your total material cost, you’ll need to determine the size of your drive.
The cost of labour for installing block paving is usually within the range of £50 to £100 per square metre. In certain cases, you may also have some waste removal needs. If you’re going to hire a specialist that’ll take a day or two of labour to get the job done, it’ll cost about £150 to £200 per day.
Other additional block paving costs include: hardcore £300, blocks and edgings £1,700, sharp sand £250. kiln-dried sand £250 and skip hire £500.
