Block Paving vs Imprinted Concrete vs Resin – Which is Right for You?
Block paving offers the practical advantage of individual block replacement. Imprinted concrete delivers a seamless, weed-free finish replicating natural stone using a more accessible material. Resin bound driveways are fully permeable, SUDS compliant, and virtually maintenance-free. Our team will give you honest advice on which is the best fit during your free site visit. Visit our full services page to learn more.
When properly installed with a correct sub-base, block paving typically lasts 20 to 30 years or more. Routine maintenance such as re-sanding joints and occasional power washing will extend its lifespan significantly. Our installations come with a written guarantee for complete peace of mind.
For front driveways in Redland, you generally don’t need planning permission if the paving is permeable or if rainwater drains to a lawn or border. For non-permeable surfaces over 5 square metres, you may need permission from Bristol City Council. We can advise you on this during your free site visit.
Block paving is low maintenance. Occasional power washing removes dirt and moss, and re-sanding joints every few years keeps the surface stable. Sealing is optional but helps prevent staining and weed growth between joints.
Yes – one of the biggest advantages of block paving over concrete or tarmac is that individual blocks can be lifted and replaced without disturbing the rest of the surface. This makes individual repairs quick and straightforward.
Absolutely. Redland is one of Bristol’s most desirable residential areas, and a professionally installed block paving driveway or patio adds significant kerb appeal and value. The durability and repairability of block paving make it a durable long-term investment.
