Block Paving Installation with A1 Driveways
Our company supplies almost all types of block pavers and provides installation services at affordable costs. Our installation process for block paving in West Yorkshire includes:
Site Inspection
Our experts inspect your site and assist in choosing the suitable design and material for blocks. Then, they provide a detailed estimation of the project for your approval.
Site Preparation
Once you approve the estimation, the installation will be started at the scheduled time. It begins with ground preparation, which includes:
- Cleaning the area.
- Excavating the soil (around 150mm-200mm deep).
- Adding edge restraints or cementing the edged blocks.
Compaction
The soil is compacted using a compacter to reduce pore space, ensuring high density. It also involves levelling the site (if needed).
Laying Sub-base
Now, a sub-base is added to strengthen the block paving driveway, car park, or patio. It is usually a mixture of limestone aggregates and other stones that bear the weight of people and vehicles as a sub-base.
Adding a Sand Layer
After laying the sub-base, we lay a layer of sand to make the sites smooth and ready for the blocks. The sand is compacted and levelled as well.
Laying Block Pavers
Block pavers are laid over the sand layer. They are interconnected with each other, ensuring minimum space is left along the edges. Our workers install them appropriately to give the finish you want.
Sweeping Sand
The last step is sweeping kiln-dried sand to fill the slight gaps between blocks and along the edges. This process is followed by compaction and repetition, ensuring all the gaps are filled.

FAQs
How long will block paving last?
The block paving is installed on a very compact and robust sub-base, and blocks are also highly durable. So, block paving can last for a lifetime if maintained properly.
Do I need to reseal my block paving driveway?
Regular use and weather conditions lead to gaps between blocks. Therefore, you should reseal your block paving driveway after 2 to 3 years to fill these gaps.
Is it challenging to maintain block paving?
No, it’s not. You only need to wash your driveway or patio with a suitable detergent occasionally. Apart from that, keep an eye on weed growth and eliminate them immediately.
How complex is it to repair block paving?
It’s not complex; you only need to remove the damaged blocks and install new ones in their place.
