Driveway Block Paving
Paving Supplies Norfolk specialise in driveway block paving. Based on our years of extensive experience, we have learnt that choosing a new driveway isn't a regular occurrence, in some cases, it's a once-in-a-lifetime occasion.
A new driveway is more than providing secure off-street parking, it also complements the aesthetics of the house and garden and adding value to your property. All of our paving materials are made to last with the best quality natural material available.
There is a wide range of materials you can choose for driveway block paving, dependent on your budget, the style of your property and the design you'd like to achieve. For traditional brick houses, brick weave paving is an ideal method to create synergy between the elements and complement the aesthetics of your property. Homes with a rustic charm, such as country cottages, may benefit from the "olde-worlde" appeal of cobble setts.
Patio and Garden Paving
Your garden is an extremely flexible space to suit a wide range of purposes, it's your private retreat, and we are dedicated to realising your ideal. Whether you'd like to have a tranquil space to relax on a leisurely evening or a social area to enjoy the company of others, you can count on us to provide everything that will help you achieve it.
A successfully designed garden cannot comprise entirely of soft landscaping. The contrast of soft and hard surfaces such as stone paths and raised flowerbeds help to highlight design features in the garden and leave a lasting impression. Our patio and garden paving slabs are available in a variety of materials and colours. Durable and easy to clean, they offer a practical solution for your garden.
Paving Ideas
Driveways are very much a permanent feature, which makes choosing the correct material all the more important. We will provide as much information and be as descriptive as we can about our products. However, if you have any questions regarding our products or services, please simply get in touch on 01603 510446 to speak to a member of our friendly, knowledgeable team member.
Understandably, you may want to physically see and feel the material before committing to a long-term investment. We have a central depot in Norfolk which you can visit by appointment. Our experienced team will be able to dedicate personal attention to yourself and advise on design and practicality.
If you are after some inspiration on how to maximise the potential of your garden, you can view some of our paving ideas below:
Brick Weave Paving
Brick weave paving is instantly recognisable. It's a highly decorative and practical solution for your driveway. Although clay bricks are used traditionally, there are now alternatives such as specialised paving bricks which can be made in almost any size and colour. The bricks do not adhere to the ground surface. Thus any broken bricks can simply be lifted and replaced individually.
Stone Block Paving
Stone block paving slabs are available in different sizes to create a more irregular, natural layout. They are available in a wide range of styles and colours to suit any home and garden design styles. They are typically preferred in garden paving. However, some setts can be used for driveways. The smaller sett stones mean larger compatibility with curved edges and able to form patterns with different coloured stones.
Concrete Block Paving
Unlike brick and natural stone, concrete block paving does not refer to a distinctive style of paving. It instead uses the versatility of concrete to mimic the appearance of other materials, such as clay bricks in a weave pattern. While the appearance can be made to look similar, the fundamental difference lies in the practicality of the material.
Herringbone: This is the most common pattern you may see in a brick weave driveway. It's one of the strongest weave patterns because it offers the most interlocking bonds between the blocks. It's typically set at 45 or 90 degrees depending on the preference.
Stretcher Bond: You may recognise this bond as the "standard brick wall". It's the most straightforward pattern to lay, and you can add an interesting texture by using different toned bricks.
Basket Weave: This is a modular laying method which requires each brick/block to have a 2:1 proportion. This pattern is ideal for driveways which have a long straight edge.
Cobble Setts: Often mistaken as "cobblestone", setts are formed to a regular shape in contrast to the natural contour of the latter. They instantly bring a rustic, authentic appeal to country style homes and are known to be extremely durable.
Sandstone: One of the most popular options for stone paving. Amidst the wide range of natural stones available, they offer the best all-round option considering price, durability and physical appeal.
Slate: Available as small chips to add texture to the garden, or as large slabs to provide an appealing and practical surface. Slate adds a sleek and contemporary feel to complement modern homes.
Availability: Concrete blocks are widely available from paving suppliers, such as ourselves, in a great range of colours and styles to suit your specifications. If required, they can be commissioned to be manufactured from scratch.
Value for Money: Compared to clay bricks of the same dimension and quantity, concrete blocks are up to 50% cheaper. This is due to the availability of the material and their ease of manufacture.
Recycled Material: This is one of the great advantages of concrete over clay and quarried stone. Concrete blocks can incorporate recycled construction material such as glass and crushed rubble. This helps to reduce waste and contributes to lowering costs.
Reclaimed Paving Materials
Paving Supplies Norfolk are passionate about reducing waste and our impact on the environment. Wherever possible, we will reclaim any unused paving materials. This is not only good for the environment, but it's also a cost-effective solution for our customers who may have overestimated their project and ended up with a surplus amount of material.
Our experts will inspect the materials to ensure it's of sound quality to be reused. Our reclaimed paving materials stock changes are fluid so please get in touch on 01603 510446 for the most up to date version. Reclaimed paving blocks are ideal for individual replacements to match an existing driveway which offers excellent value for money.
