Victorian terraces near the High Street often struggle with narrow frontages and awkward slopes. Block paving opens up design possibilities these older properties never had. Meanwhile, the larger plots towards Hayes Common benefit from grand curved driveways that complement their spacious gardens. Each BR4 property presents unique challenges, from mature oak roots to tricky drainage patterns.
Proper groundwork makes the difference between paving that lasts decades and surfaces that sink within months. Excavation depth depends on soil type and intended use - deeper for heavy vehicles, shallower for pedestrian paths. Sub-base compaction creates the foundation, while edge restraints prevent spreading. Final laying requires millimetre precision, ensuring water runs away from buildings towards suitable drainage points.
Twenty-three years handling West Wickham's clay soil teaches valuable lessons. Local knowledge matters when tree preservation orders affect excavation routes or when matching materials to neighbouring properties in conservation areas.
