Block Paving Driveways in Bedford
Block paving lets a driveway in Willington match the brick of the house or stand apart from it, with herringbone, basketweave or stretcher patterns and a contrasting border. We lay it on a compacted base with a sand bed and kiln-dried sand joints, edged so the blocks stay locked in place.
We dig out to the right depth, compact a sub-base, lay a sharp sand bed and set the blocks inside solid edge restraints. Kiln dried sand fills the joints so the blocks lock together. Individual blocks can be lifted and relaid if a section sinks or a pipe below needs attention.
Block paved driveways are laid from Bedford to Kempston, Biggleswade, Sandy and Milton Keynes. You receive a free quote in writing covering the pattern, edging and groundwork, with the figure based on the access and ground at your property.
When Block Paving Is the Right Choice
These are the situations that most often lead people to get in touch about this work, and what each one usually means.
A Classic, Smart Finish
Homeowners who want a traditional look with crisp borders and a defined pattern often choose block paving to suit the style of the house.
Old Tarmac or Concrete
A cracked concrete slab or a worn tarmac drive is a common reason to switch to block paving, which gives a far more finished appearance.
Room for Another Car
Widening a drive to park a second or third car is a common reason to relay it, and block paving can be shaped to fit the space you have.
Access to Services Below
Where drains or cables run under the driveway, block paving makes sense because sections can be lifted and put back without obvious patches.

How Block Paving Is Laid
Picking Blocks & Pattern
We measure the area, check the levels and fall, and help you choose block colour, size and laying pattern, including any border or feature detail.
Dig Out & Sub-Base
The existing surface is removed, the ground excavated, and a layer of aggregate is spread and compacted to form a stable foundation for the blocks.
Edging & Block Laying
Edge restraints are set in place, a screeded sand bed is prepared, and the blocks are laid to pattern with neat cuts around every edge and cover.
Jointing & Sign-Off
Kiln dried sand is brushed into the joints and the surface compacted. After clearing up, we review the completed work with you and confirm it is as agreed.
