Block Paving Brownhills West Midlands

You have to think carefully about the size of your block paving dive in Brownhills during the design phase of the process, to make certain it's big enough for your purpose. You'll want to be able to move and easily park your vehicle, and it is best to design your new drive around these requirements, although the size of the area that you've got to build it on will have an impact on this. If you are able to put in a drive that has enough room for at least one more car than your own, that is also recommended. This permits any visitors to park their vehicles or perhaps a teenager's vehicle when they eventually pass their driving test.

When looking for a competent contractor to lay your block paved area in Brownhills, always obtain a minimum of three fully itemised price quotes from different companies. Where possible, you can ask neighbours and friends who have had a block paving driveway installed, for their advice and recommendations.

Any self-respecting Brownhills company will supply you with a free and detailed quotation for the whole project. Try to stay clear of contractors who say they "just happen to be working locally on another project." They might of course be legit (highly unlikely), and there are hundreds of horror stories of folks being ashamed and out of pocket when a drive is not finished, or having poor work done.

Included in any quote would be items like:

  • Preparing the groundwork (excavations)
  • Sub-base installation
  • Water run-off and drainage requirements
  • Quantity, style and colour of block pavers
  • Disposal of waste materials
  • Other factors to consider

GROUNDWORK PREPARATION

Block Pavers Brownhills (01543)

If you've already got a driveway on your property in Brownhills, the related materials and waste will have to be lifted, removed and disposed of in a responsible and ethical way. To make certain that your new block paving dive observes regulations relating to your property's damp proof course (DPC), more extensive excavations might also be necessary. Two courses of bricks below your property's current DPC, is the rule for new driveways in Brownhills.

If your block pave drive in Brownhills is being installed over bare earth or grass, roughly 230mm of soil will need to be excavated and removed. This allows for a proper sub-base and sharp sand layer to be created before any block pavers are installed.

INSTALLING THE SUB-BASE

The sub-base is made up of a sharp sand covered layer of Type 1 crushed stones and gravel. The installation of a solid and stable sub-base is crucial to make sure that the driveway doesn't end up with dips where water can pool and cause you problems. The MOT Type 1 is a crushed aggregate mixture, typically made from granite or limestone which is firmly packed down to create a strong, durable and firm surface for your driveway, patio or path in Brownhills.

During this stage of the installation any drainage issues will be addressed. A fall or gradient, will be introduced, if not already present in the lay of the land, to enable water to flow away easily. Either drainage channels and grates can be inserted between your dwelling and the drive for channelling away this water, or it can simply be directed away from your property by the slope.

Sharp sand is added above the compacted sub-base Type 1 aggregate and levelled out to form a base for the pavers to be laid into.

WATER RUN-OFF AND DRAINAGE

Any driveway in Brownhills with a surface area in excess of 5M², must include the provision for water to run away to a permeable area nearby. Planning permission from your local authority will be necessary, if this requirement cannot be adhered to. Any water run-off from your driveway is not allowed to be redirected into the drainage system in order to prevent localised flooding.

Pathway Block Paving Near Brownhills West Midlands

To keep your new driveway within the law, an experienced Brownhills block paving installation company will calculate your requirements for drainage as an integral part of the driveway installation process and take any measures that are necessary. They might need to install a permeable driveway, excavate a soakaway on your property or add integrated drainage channels, so as to achieve this.

If your home is inside the defined limits of a conservation area, further design and drainage aspects might need to be considered. A reputable block paving installation contractor will have the experience and knowhow to steer you through this tricky process.

COLOUR, DESIGN AND QUANTITY OF PAVERS

To suit any design of driveway you have in mind, block paving comes in a lot of different shapes, sizes and colours. With anything from the commonly seen straight edged, square or oblong block pavers, to the fancier, circular, diamond, s-shape and curved variations, you should be able to find the ideal style. You could create an eye-catching feature with a different colour, or pick one which exactly matches your property's brickwork.

Tumbled Block Paving Brownhills (WS8)

Traditional style pavers, often referred to as tumble or tumbled pavers, can be bought for older buildings in Brownhills, to create a sympathetic and seamless entrance to your home. These block pavers have been pre-faded during manufacture to give the look of being old and time-worn. For a more modern look, you can also buy contemporary block pavers, which can create a high-gloss finish when correctly sealed.

The layout of your driveway might be a simple rectangular or square shape, or maybe you've got landscaping features that it will have to snake its way around. Three of the most widespread paving designs are Herringbone, Basketweave and Stretcher Bond, although block paving can be laid in many patterns to create different effects. No matter what design you choose, a reliable block paving company in Brownhills will be able to build you an awesome looking driveway to give you that much needed curb appeal.

The installation of some block paving edging is also something to consider. You can have a chat with your chosen installer about the advantages of raised kerb stones, different colours or shapes, or if your drive butts up against walls, whether it needs to be edged at all.

WASTE DISPOSAL

Rates for the removal of waste and soil and the proper manner of its disposal should all be included in a block paving installation quote. The size of your new driveway will determine the quantity of existing driveway materials and soil that will be required to be gotten rid of. Any excavated topsoil will have to be carried away by truck if it can't be utilised on other sections of your garden. Earth and other materials that are excavated throughout the installation must be disposed of in a sound, responsible manner at a registered site.

OTHER THINGS TO CONSIDER

You may be encouraged to apply a seal to the block paving after it has been installed, although this is not essential for your new drive in Brownhills. Sealing can help to lengthen the lifespan of your block paving driveway, it also keeps it from staining, inhibits the growth of algae, stops fading and brings out the true colour. The application of a quality block paving sealer is a great way to safeguard the considerable investment you have made in your new drive.

Sealants should never be put on a newly installed block paving drive as joints and sand need to properly settle for some time. The suggested waiting time for applying seal to a new drive is 6 months, and it is always best to use a specialist for this type of project because it's hard to rectify any errors in this process.

TO CONCLUDE

A block paved patio or driveway can truly transform the look of your home in Brownhills. It can provide a hard wearing and stable area for parking your vehicles, or create a fantastic area to enjoy a sturdy seating and BBQ area in your back garden.
