Block Paving Driveways in Stoke-on-Trent & Staffordshire
Block paved driveways built on a properly compacted base, with drainage and clean edging.
What to expect
Block paving is one of the most popular driveway surfaces because it looks smart, comes in lots of colours and patterns, and can be repaired block by block. The difference between a driveway that lasts and one that sinks is the base, so we dig out, build up a compacted sub-base, set the falls for drainage and then lay and compact the blocks.
A block paving driveway is a good fit if you want a decorative finish, such as a border in a contrasting colour or a pattern that picks out the look of your home. We lay the blocks in a range of patterns and finish the edges with kerbs or edging so they stay put.
We work across Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Leek, Stafford, Crewe and the surrounding areas. If you are not sure whether block paving or tarmac suits your property, we are happy to talk it through on site.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a new driveway cost?
Every driveway is different, so the price depends on the size, the materials, the groundwork needed and access to the site. We give a clear written quote after seeing the job, and quotes are free.
Block paving or tarmac: which is better?
Block paving gives you more colours and patterns and individual blocks can be lifted for repairs. Tarmac is a smooth, hard-wearing surface that is usually quicker to lay. Both can be finished with a block or brick border. We will talk you through the options for your property when we visit.
How long does it take to lay a driveway?
A typical driveway takes a few days once work starts, depending on its size, the digging out needed and the weather. We will give you an idea of timings when we quote.
Do I need planning permission for a new driveway?
Usually not for a driveway at the front of a house if it is made from porous materials or drains to a lawn or border, but rules differ if you need a dropped kerb or live on a classified road. Your local council can confirm what applies to you, and we can point you in the right direction.
