FAQ
Common questions
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 Stoke Gifford properties, we also offer optional sealing treatments that enhance colour and inhibit weed growth.
How long does installation take for a Stoke Gifford driveway?
A typical single driveway in Stoke Gifford 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 block paving colours are available?
We offer a wide range of colours including charcoal, natural grey, buff, brindle, red, autumn gold and mixed blends. We bring physical samples to your Stoke Gifford home so you can see how different colours look against your property's brickwork and surroundings.
How long does a block paving driveway last?
A properly installed block paving driveway will last 25-30 years with minimal maintenance. Our Stoke Gifford installations use premium blocks on a compacted sub-base, meeting British Standard specifications for residential driveways. Many of our early Bristol-area projects still look excellent decades later.
