If you’re wanting to improve your home with a new patio or driveway, but your’re not sure about the best kind of surface to choose then block paving is unquestionably worthy of consideration. Block paving comes in many different colours, so you can establish your own designs without difficulty. Many homeowners we come across don’t consider block paving because they’re of the belief that they are limited with what is achievable in terms of design. This couldn’t be further from the truth – in reality, block paving for driveways and patios is still one of the better options available to homeowners. Block paving in Northampton is hard wearing and will involve very little maintenance. Block paved patios and driveways don’t wear down over time and, in contrast to materials like concrete and tarmac, they aren’t prone to cracks. You’ll also find that it doesn’t get too hot in summer, so it’s ideal if you park your vehicle on the driveway instead of in the garage. Block paving is effortlessly installed when you contact experienced professionals, and the material offers a number of benefits over other patio and driveway surfacing materials. When it comes to designing a block paved patio or driveway in Northampton the choices are endless – the sky is really the limit.
Pathways
Block paving is a great surface material for pathways. Whilst for pathways you generally wont be able to add circular designs or swirls, you do have endless colour options from which to choose. Whilst maintenance for block paved pathways is low you’ll find over time that moss and weeds grows between the bricks. This can be sorted out in a matter of seconds, and the blocks themselves won’t fade or reduce in colour as time passes. With paving stone pathways, you increase the chances of weeds and you also run the risk of them breaking if an excessive amount of pressure is applied. Block paving is far more durable and hard wearing, whilst the smaller sized stones offer a much improved sub structure. As the blocks are smaller in size, many people choose to have curved pathways running through the garden or round the side of their properties, and even from the driveway to the front door.
Driveways
Block paving is a long lasting, durable material for driveways. The stones themselves have plenty of grip, and this is ideal for when it comes to winter. Block paved driveways don’t get slippery when wet and vehicle weight won’t crack the stones. Some people believe paving flags are a good choice for a driveway surface, but flags are just not practical – under excess weight they’re prone to crack and lift. Block paving, however, doesn’t present you with this challenge and you will also find that it can support large vehicles as well. Design options are endless with intricate design options available and a wide range of different colours.
Patios
For patio surfacing, block paving is possibly the best option available. Many people believe that wood decking is the better option when it comes to outside flooring, but it unquestionably has numerous problems. Regular maintenance will be essential with wood being prone to mites and some other infestations, and with or without regular maintenance you’ll see that decking rots over time. Aside from a little moss growing between the bricks, block paved patios are virtually maintenance free and will last considerably longer than a wood deck. Block paving is a superb choice for those who want a low maintenance solution for their outdoor flooring.
