North Shields Block Paving Driveways
What Is Block Paving?
Our North Shields block paving can sometimes be referred to as 'brick paving' - it is a commonly used decorative method of creating a pavement or hard-standing. Block driveways can be used for domestic and commercial purposes.
The main benefit of using paviers over other materials, besides the attractive appearance, is that individual blocks can be lifted and replaced when they become worn or get damaged.
The Aesthetics Of North Shields Block Paving
The bricks used in North Shields block paved driveways are usually made up of recycled materials such as crushed glass and old building rubble. Using paving blocks can help achieve many different layout patterns on your new North Shields driveway.
One of the most popular styles with our North Shields customers is the 'herringbone' pattern. Not only does it look good, but it offers a very strong bond due to the interlocking nature of the block paving pattern.
Why Use Block Paving in North Shields?
North Shields block paving has many benefits. Apart from the obvious one, adding value and attractiveness to your home, there is also no need for separate drainage.
There are no costly repairs, as individual block paviers can be replaced, plus interlocking blocks provide enhanced strength, suitable for cars and other vehicles.

One of the main reasons why your block paving sunk is because the drive was not done properly. In most cases, the reason is ground preparation. Your company probably didn’t dig enough out. To get a good block paving, the company setting your driveway needs to dig out down to good solid ground.
If the blocks you choose allow drainage you won’t need planning permission to lay them in your driveway or garden.
There are particular guidelines for householders who want to pave over their front gardens in order to turn them into driveways.
Planning permission is not needed for new driveways, regardless of the size, as long as the surfacing used is permeable. This porous surfacing allows water to drain through. Experts suggest using porous asphalt or permeable concrete block paving, or directing the rainwater to a lawn or border in order for it to drain naturally.
You’ll see it used in shopping centres and pedestrian areas where it provides practical, long lasting attractive paving and it has been a popular driveway option for homeowners for many years. Permeable block paving reduces surface run-off water by allowing it to drain between the blocks and into the sub-base.
