Your garden, considered

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.

For Kingston upon Thames semis, block paving is a natural choice that suits the period of the house.
