FAQ
Common questions
What is the best block paving pattern for a Staple Hill driveway?
Herringbone is our most recommended pattern for Staple Hill driveways, it provides the strongest interlock and handles vehicle traffic brilliantly. However, stretcher bond and basketweave also work well depending on your property's style. We'll help you choose at your free consultation.
How long does installation take for a Staple Hill driveway?
A typical single driveway in Staple Hill takes 3-5 working days from excavation to completion. Larger projects or those requiring additional drainage work may take up to 7 days. We provide a clear timeline with your quote so you can plan around the work.
What maintenance does block paving need?
Block paving is very low maintenance. We recommend an annual brush and wash to keep it looking fresh, and reapplying kiln-dried jointing sand if it washes out over time. For Staple Hill properties, we also offer optional sealing treatments that enhance colour and inhibit weed growth.
