Block paved driveways

Block paved driveways built to last

Block paving remains one of the most popular driveway finishes in Warwickshire — durable under daily traffic, flexible on colour and pattern, and easy to repair if a section ever needs lifting. KBL installs and replaces block paved driveways with the detail that keeps them looking sharp: excavation and sub-base, falls for drainage, edge restraint, and neat joints against thresholds and the highway.

From classic charcoal herringbone to multi-tonal random patterns with contrasting borders, we help you choose a layout that suits the house and stands up to everyday use. Need a tarmac finish instead? See our dedicated tarmac driveway page.

Our process

How a block paved driveway is built

  1. 01

    Survey and design

    We assess levels, drainage, edge details, and pattern options so the quote matches the finished look.

  2. 02

    Excavation and base

    Failed surfaces are excavated or regulated, with sub-base and edge restraint prepared before blocks are laid.

  3. 03

    Lay, sand, and compact

    Blocks are laid to pattern, jointed with kiln-dried sand, compacted, and handed over with aftercare guidance.

Marc Clay5 stars · Google review

“Had a raised concrete platform with block borders. The guys were fantastic. From quote to completion it's been perfect. The job quality is flawless and they cleaned up all the waste once finished. The guys were detail conscious and it just made the job spot on. Would highly recommend and will be calling them back for future projects.”

FAQs

Block paving questions

Specific to this service — see the main landscaping page for general FAQs too.

How long does a block paved driveway take?

Most domestic block paving projects take a few days once scheduled, depending on excavation depth, drainage, edging, and weather. We confirm the expected programme after the site visit.

Will a new block paved driveway need planning permission?

Many replacement driveways do not, but front-garden hardstanding and runoff rules still matter. Permeable systems or planned drainage help meet SuDS expectations.

We flag when you should seek formal approval before we commit dates.

How soon can I drive on new block paving?

Once the surface is compacted and jointed with kiln-dried sand you can usually drive on carefully, but we ask you to avoid sharp turning loads for a short settling period. You get a simple aftercare sheet at handover.

Can you repair dips or sunken areas without replacing everything?

Often yes — localised lifting, sub-base repair, and re-laying can fix dips or puddles. If the base has failed more widely, a fuller renewal may be better value. We show both options clearly in the quote.
