Proper maintenance is essential to prolonging the lifespan and appearance of your new driveway. Depending on the material used, maintenance tasks may include regular cleaning, sealing, filling cracks or potholes and addressing any drainage issues. We can provide specific maintenance guidelines based on your driveway’s material.

Regular maintenance is essential to keep block paving looking its best and to prolong its lifespan. This includes sweeping or power washing to remove debris and dirt, periodic resealing to protect against stains and fading and repairing any cracks or loose blocks as needed. Additionally, it’s important to keep vegetation, such as weeds and grass from growing between the blocks to prevent damage.

There are several options available for driveway materials, including asphalt, concrete, gravel, block paving and resin. Each material offers its own set of advantages in terms of durability, aesthetics and maintenance requirements.

You can have your driveway pressure washed at any time of year. However, if you have block paving, it will need to be re-sanded after cleaning and colder, damper months are not suitable for this as the blocks are likely to stay damp.

Some key benefits of block paving include its durability, versatility in design, ease of repair and ability to withstand heavy loads. Block paving is also known for its aesthetic appeal, with a wide range of colours, patterns and textures available to suit different preferences and architectural styles.

Common issues include cracks, potholes, sinking or uneven surfaces, fading or discolouration and drainage problems.

Yes, resin bound paving is suitable for slopes and inclines. Its porous nature allows water to drain efficiently, reducing the risk of surface water runoff and providing excellent slip resistance. However, proper installation techniques are crucial to ensure stability and durability on sloped surfaces.

While weeds can sometimes sprout through the gravel, installing a weed barrier or membrane underneath the gravel can help prevent weed growth. Additionally, regular maintenance such as weed pulling or applying herbicides can help keep weeds at bay.

Sealing is applying a protective coating to your driveway after cleaning once the surface is fully dry. It can be applied to block paving and natural stone patio slabs. Sealing puts a protective layer on the surface which is oil and water-resistant which deters staining. It also helps to harden the sand between the joints which will help deter weed growth.
