Laying block paving bricks is a great option for adding individual style to your paved areas. They come in a wide range of colours from traditional terracotta to contemporary silver granite and even multicoloured options, so let your creativity run free by combining colours to create attractive block paving patterns. Block paving is a very hard wearing option for your outdoor areas, and will easily withstand the pressure of your car driving over it. After all, block paving is even used at airports because it can carry the weight of an airplane. Block paving is porous, meaning that water won’t pool on the surface which helps to avoid rain and frost damage.

Block paving blocks sit tightly together to form a continuous surface, so the eye reads the whole area as one calm field of colour and texture. The classic 200 x 100 format creates the familiar brick look many people expect from driveway block paving, while smaller 100 x 100 units feel closer to sett paving stone or cobble block paving in character. That gives you a lot of scope, from formal parking bays outside newer homes to softer, more rustic schemes around period properties.

On a driveway, block paviors tend to make the space feel finished and substantial, especially where driveway border blocks or a different colour course are used to frame the main area. For patios, block paving pavers work well when you want a crisp, brick-style finish under dining sets, outdoor kitchens or hot tubs. Colours such as silver, buff, brindle and charcoal block paving can be echoed in walling, steps or garden cobbles nearby, so the whole design feels connected.

For a driveway, block paving is a strong contender wherever you want a solid, long-lasting surface that still allows individual blocks to be replaced if needed. A properly installed block paving driveway uses a compacted sub-base and a suitable laying course, so it copes well with daily car use and occasional heavier vehicles. If one paver block for the driveway becomes stained or damaged, it can be lifted and swapped rather than resurfacing the whole area, which helps spread maintenance costs over time.

The main disadvantages of block paving driveways tend to be upkeep and installation quality, however, this is very little and is almost in line with standard paving slabs. Joints need to be kept filled with kiln-dried or jointing sand to limit weed growth and movement, and poorly compacted sub-bases can lead to rutting or dips over time.

Choose from different colours, textures and surface finishes to create the perfect block paving driveway, patio or BBQ area for your garden. Our yellow granite block paving combines light and dark speckles that gives a traditional appearance that’s ideal for period properties, or you could combine our incredibly popular silver granite paving blocks with charcoal block paving slabs to give your garden or driveway a more modern look and feel.

You could opt for porcelain block paving which combines the traditional look of block paving with the high quality finish of porcelain paving slabs or our eye-catching range such as our dark grey charcoal option which looks refined against grey block paving slabs.
