Driveways & Patios in Rotherham

Block Paving

Block-paved driveways, paths and garden areas in Rotherham and nearby towns, laid on properly prepared ground so the finished surface stays level and drains well.

What’s included

  • Digging out and removing the old surface
  • A compacted sub-base to stop sinking and rutting
  • Edging kerbs to hold the blocks in place
  • Drainage so water runs away from the house
  • Blocks laid, cut, compacted and sanded
  • Paths, borders and patterns

Why the ground work matters

Most block paving problems, such as dips, loose blocks and puddles, come from a poor base rather than the blocks themselves. We dig out to the right depth and build up a compacted base so the surface carries the weight of a car for years.

Choosing a style

Block paving comes in a wide range of colours and can be laid in different patterns, with contrasting borders to mark out edges and paths. We'll help you pick a style that suits your home.

“Recently had some block paving done in my garden by these guys and the job done was to an excellent standard. Im so happy with the results Ive already booked for more work to be done. Cant praise them enough.”

Common questions

Do I need planning permission to block pave my front garden?

Not if the paving lets water soak through (permeable block paving) or rainwater runs off into a lawn or border. Covering more than five square metres of a front garden with a surface that drains onto the road needs planning permission.

How soon can I drive on it?

Block paving is compacted as it's laid, so it can usually be used soon after it's finished. We'll confirm on the day.
