Why block paving remains popular
Block paving is strong, flexible and repairable: individual blocks can be lifted to reach services or replace a stain. It offers many colours and patterns to suit the house.
Its strength comes from a deep compacted sub-base, a laying course, firm edge restraints and kiln-dried sand in the joints.
On Forest Hill frontages, a contrasting border can define parking and path areas neatly.

Colour, pattern and permeability.
Edges hold everything together
Without firm edging, blocks creep and joints open. We set edge restraints in concrete before laying, and compact the surface with sand to lock the blocks together.
