Block Paved Driveways Essex - Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a block paving driveway last?
A professionally installed block paving driveway with a proper sub-base can last many years. Occasional maintenance such as re-sanding and weed control helps keep it looking its best.
Will weeds grow through my block paving?
Weeds generally grow from seeds that land in the joints rather than from underneath. Regular brushing and, if needed, weed treatment will help prevent this. A good sub-base and membrane reduce weed growth from below.
Does block paving require much maintenance?
Block paving is relatively low maintenance. Occasional sweeping, re-sanding of joints and optional sealing are usually all that is required.
Can you extend or repair an existing block paved driveway?
In many cases, yes. We can often extend existing block paving or lift and relay areas that have sunk, depending on the condition of the current driveway.
