FAQ
What is the cheapest option for paving a driveway?
Gravel driveways are typically the most cost-effective solution. Compared with block paving, natural stone, tarmac, or resin surfaces, a well-installed gravel driveway requires less material and labour. You’ll need a properly compacted sub-base, geotextile membrane to suppress weeds, and decorative gravel such as limestone or granite chippings. Gravel is permeable, helping with water drainage, and can be topped up or raked smooth over time. Resin-bound surfaces can look similar but carry higher material costs, while tarmac and block paving driveways involve more labour and precision cutting, driving up installation expenses. For an affordable yet durable finish, speak to a reputable driveway company about competitive prices on gravel driveways and simple base preparation.
How to clean a block paving driveway?
Regular maintenance keeps block paving driveways looking pristine. First, remove loose debris and weeds by brushing with a stiff broom or using a leaf blower. For deeper cleaning, apply a proprietary paving cleaner or diluted mild detergent, then jet-wash at a low pressure to avoid dislodging jointing sand. After washing, re-sand the joints with kiln-dried sand or a polymeric jointing compound to restore stability and prevent weed growth. For oil stains, use a degreaser before jet-washing; for algae or moss, apply a specialist biocide. Annual or bi-annual cleaning by a professional paving services contractor ensures your block paving maintains its colour, prevents damage, and extends its lifespan.
How to find a good driveway contractor?
Look for a driveway company that specialises in both block paving driveways and gravel driveways, with proven experience in Surrey or London landscaping projects. Start by browsing online portfolios and customer reviews to assess the quality of workmanship and finished results. Confirm they’re fully insured, CRB-checked, and offer a written, itemised quote covering materials (natural stone, sandstone, porcelain pavers) and installation. Ask if they provide a permeability solution (e.g., permeable block paving) to manage rainwater. A reputable contractor will discuss sub-base requirements, drainage, and edge restraints, and offer competitive prices without sacrificing quality. Finally, check for industry accreditations (e.g., Horticultural Trades Association) to ensure you’re hiring a professional with the expertise to build a beautiful, long-lasting driveway.
Is block paving permeable?
Standard block paving relies on tight joints packed with kiln-dried sand, which limits permeability. However, permeable block paving systems use wider joint gaps filled with gravel or resin-bonded aggregates, or specially designed permeable blocks, to allow water infiltration through the surface into a permeable sub-base. This sustainable approach reduces runoff, prevents flooding, and often meets local SuDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems) requirements. For driveways, pathways, patios, and landscaping services where water management is crucial, discuss permeable block paving options with your contractor. They’ll design and install a layered base—geotextile membrane, angular stone sub-base, and permeable blocks or resin joints—to ensure your paved area remains both functional and environmentally friendly.
