Block Paving in Withywood

In most cases, no, provided you use permeable block paving or drain rainwater to a soakaway or lawn within your property boundary. We handle all the technical requirements for Withywood properties to ensure your new driveway is fully compliant with current regulations.

A properly installed block paving driveway will last 25-30 years with minimal maintenance. Our Withywood 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.

Block paving is ideal for the Bristol area's climate. It handles heavy rain through permeable options and jointed gaps, withstands frost without cracking (unlike poured concrete surfaces), and performs reliably through the wet winters we experience in Withywood and across BS13.

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 Withywood home so you can see how different colours look against your property's brickwork and surroundings.

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 Withywood properties, we also offer optional sealing treatments that enhance colour and inhibit weed growth.
