Designing Block Paving to Match the Property

Block paving is a versatile material that allows for a wide range of design permutations. Our team in Hook can help you select a pattern, colour and layout that works harmoniously with your home’s features.

We offer a variety of styles, including:

Herringbone for added strength and interlocking on driveways
Stretcher bonds for linear appearances on paths and patios

Basketweaves to add texture and depth to courtyard areas
Circular, radial designs for focal points and feature spaces

Each design option can be tailored with colour, shape and block size to ensure a new surface enhances your property’s character. We also advise on edge detailing and contrasting borders, helping customers to define outdoor areas clearly while creating a visual interest.

Laying Techniques and Materials

Block paving installations in Hook are laid using methods that are a little more precise in design to ensure better durability and smooth finishes. We start with ground preparation, uplifting an old surface and levelling the sub-base to create a solid foundation. A layer of compacted hardcore is laid before sand is levelled, and screeded, to an exact tolerance. This will give the installation more stability.

Each block is then positioned by hand, following a chosen pattern.

Once laid, kiln-dried sand is brushed between the joints to secure a block paving installation and prevent movement. Finally, the surface is compacted to achieve a tight, stable fit that won’t shift.

These techniques not only create a neat and even appearance but also ensure that block paving withstands regular use or changing weather.

The Benefits of Block Paving

Homeowners in Hook continue to choose block paving in larger numbers because it delivers both practicality and style. Its modular design makes it easy to maintain, repair and replace individual blocks if it is needed, but without disturbing the rest of the laid surface.

Block paving also provides:

Excellent drainage through permeable product design
Long-term resistance to cracking and movement

A wide choice of colours and textures
A clean, low-maintenance surface for all everyday uses

With the right design, block paving can increase a property’s kerb appeal and add more resale value should you decide to move on.
