Block Paving Driveway in Longwell Green, Bristol

Here is a highlight of our latest project in Longwell Green, Bristol. Our team at SD Home Improvements has finished a double width block paving driveway there.

Our first steps were to take down the aged front wall, remove the chipped concrete driveway and dig out the old hedging and lawn.

We then proceeded by building new fence on one side of the property. We installed concrete posters for great stability and wooden panels in between.

Afterwards we laid a type 1 membrane and a bed of stone dust as a foundation for the future driveway.

As the driveway is slanted, we had to install new ACO drains around the house to prevent water pooling and possible damage to the outer walls.

The colour combination of choice was Charcoal for the blocks and Light Grey for the kerbing edge.

New Block Paving Driveway in Yate

Here are some pictures of before, during and after of a block paving driveway in Yate, Bristol. Materials were provided and work was delivered by our block paving professionals at SD Home Improvements.

Our first step was to dig out all of the original concrete driveway and damaged areas.

Next, we took down the front wall to make space for two cars in the future driveway.

Then we made a solid foundation for the paving blocks, by laying a type 1 MOT base with membrane sheeting and a bed of stone dust.

To avoid water pooling on the surface, ACO drains were installed at the front of the driveway.

The paving blocks themselves were laid in a traditional 45° herringbone pattern. The front doorstep was laid with matching blocks and enclosed with charcoal block paving kerbs.
