Block Paving Newton Abbot

Block Paving Newton Abbot Devon (TQ12): These days, block paving is one of the most popular ways to build a pathway, patio or drive on a garden in Newton Abbot. Of all its many applications, block paving is primarily used to create long lasting and durable parking areas for cars and vehicles in settings of both a domestic and commercial nature.

Off-road parking is a highly desirable feature for any Newton Abbot property, and a professionally installed block paved driveway will add value to your house. Should you eventually decide to sell your house, money invested in good quality block paving now, will pay dividends in the long run.

When planning and designing your new block paved drive in Newton Abbot it's essential to think carefully when you are considering just how large it should be. You'll need to be able to move and safely park your car or vehicle, and it is better to plan your new driveway around these prerequisites, although the size of the area you've got to build it on will have an influence on this. It is also a great idea, if possible, to think of building a drive that has enough room for at least one more vehicle than your own. This provides more space for visitor's vehicles and also for teenager's cars when they pass their test and begin driving.

Always try to obtain no less than three price quotes from different paving companies, when your are looking for a qualified contractor to install your block paving patio or driveway in Newton Abbot. Where possible ask neighbours and friends who have had a block paved drive installed, for their advice and recommendations.

Any self-respecting Newton Abbot block paving installer will offer you a free and comprehensive quote for the whole project. Try to avoid people who state they "just happen to be working locally on another job." There are any number of horror stories of householders having poor work, or being left out of pocket when the promised drive isn't completed, by these sorts of rogues.

Stuff that you should count on seeing itemised on any satisfactory quote might be:

• Preparing the groundwork (excavations)
• Installation of sub-base
• Water run-off and drainage requirements
• Colour, amount and style of block pavers
• Waste disposal arrangements
• Other factors to consider

If you already have a drive, the associated materials and waste products will need to be lifted, removed and disposed of in an ethical and responsible way. To ensure your new block paved driveway observes building regulations with respect to your property's damp proof course, further excavations may also be necessary. The guidelines demand that new driveways are installed at least two courses of bricks or 6 inches below the existing damp proof course of your property.

Newton Abbot block paved driveways that are being laid on bare earth or grass, will need approximately nine inches (230mm) of soil to be excavated and taken away. This will allow for the creation of a decent sub-base and sharp sand stratum, before your block paving is put down.

A good layer of Type 1 crushed material, topped with sharp sand, will be used to form the sub-base. A sound sub-base makes certain the driveway will not move or develop dips and low lying spots where puddles can form. Compacted to form a durable, firm and strong surface for your drive, footpath or patio area in Newton Abbot, Type 1 is a crushed aggregate, typically comprising limestone or granite.

This is the stage where potential drainage issues will be dealt with. To encourage the water to drain away easily, a slope or fall, will be introduced, if not already present in the lay of the land. This will be directed either away from your house or into purpose built drainage grates that are installed between your dwelling and the driveway.

As soon as the sub-base aggregate has been compacted down, sharp sand can be added and levelled out to create a good base for laying the paving blocks.

All driveways in Newton Abbot above 5 sq mtr must allow excess water to run away to a permeable area. Planning permission from your local council will be necessary, if this proviso can't be complied with. In order to avoid local flooding, any water run-off from your drive can't be redirected into the main drainage system.

Included in the installation process, a reliable block paving specialist in Newton Abbot will evaluate your requirements for drainage and take the measures needed to keep your new driveway within the law. This could require integrated drainage channels, a permeable driveway and perhaps the digging of a soakway on your land.

Additional design and drainage factors will probably have to be considered if your property is within the defined limits of a conservation area. An established block paving installer will have the knowledge and experience to shepherd you through this tricky process.

To suit any design of drive you need, block pavers come in a range of sizes, colours and shapes. From the regular and widespread, straight sided, oblong or square blocks, to the more elaborate, circular, diamond, curved and s-shape patterns, there will surely be a style which matches your needs. You can match up your driveway colours with your property's brickwork, or create an eye-catching feature with a contrasting colour.

Older buildings in Newton Abbot may be more suited to the traditional style of block pavers, often called tumbled or tumble pavers, which produce a more seamless and sympathetic result. These block pavers have been pre-faded during manufacture to give the appearance of being old and time-worn. For a that more modern feel, there are also contemporary pavers, which can provide you with a high-gloss finish when correctly sealed.

Your new driveway in Newton Abbot could be designed as a straightforward square or oblong shape, or it could weave its way around other landscaped features of your garden. To realise various effects, the laying of block paving can be completed in several patterns; Stretcher Bond, Herringbone and Basketweave, being among the most common. No matter what pattern you pick, a skilled block paving specialist in Newton Abbot will build you an exceptional looking driveway that will be the envy of your neighbours.

Installing an edging to your block paving should also be given some consideration. To find out about the advantages of raised kerb stones, different shapes and colours, or when your driveway is flanked by walls, whether it actually needs to be edged at all, you can talk to your block paving contractor.

When you're given a quotation for the installation of block paving, an allowance for the removal of waste materials and its proper manner of disposal should all be listed. The size of your new drive will dictate the volume of waste materials and soil that must be carted away. Any excess soil will need to be carried away by truck if it cannot be made use of in other parts of your garden. Environmentally friendly disposal at a registered site is vital for any waste earth and associated materials.

You might be urged to put a coat of sealant on the block paving after it's been installed, although this isn't absolutely essential for your new drive in Newton Abbot. You can lengthen the lifespan of your block paved driveway by sealing it, and furthermore the sealer keeps it from staining, slows down fading, brings out the true colour and lowers the growth of algae. A high quality sealant is a great way to secure the investment that you have made in your block paved drive.

Block paved driveways must never be sealed right after installation, as it is important for the sand and joints to properly settle for a period of time. The recommended waiting time for coating a new drive with sealer is six months, and it is always best to use a specialist for this kind of project because it's hard to put right any errors in this process.
