Driveway paving

One of the most important considerations of all is the paving on a driveway. If the drive is going to be used as hard standing for a vehicle it needs to be paved to an acceptable standard, and one that will be safe and stable for the vehicle concerned. All too often poorly paved driveways subside as they have not been laid properly, leaving the householder with an expensive job. These days there is a great choice in driveway paving – some simple and practical, others more decorative yet still sturdy – and the right drive, with the correct mix of attractiveness and practicality, can add value to a home.

Driveway Paving Styles

There was a time when drives were routinely covered in tarmac. This led to rapid deterioration through the weather. Then came the era where heavy concrete slabs were the pacing of choice, a method that is still used to great effect today. However, latterly people have opted to make their driveway paving more attractive still, and in the form of block paving – using smaller specially formed stones of different colours that can be arranged in decorative patterns – we have a whole new area of paving that is becoming much more popular. Planning your driveway paving is essential as there will be many factors to take into account, and the actual use of the drive itself is something that should not be forgotten.

Driveway Paving Quality

Most paving slabs are made from a mixture of sand and cement and the concrete that results can vary in quality. For driveway paving you need the best, and the most durable, you can get as the drive will be subjected to constant use by vehicles entering and leaving, and standing for long periods of time. The weight of a vehicle can take its toll on paving slabs, and on block paving, hence it is advisable to make sure the slabs and stones you use are of a quality that is sufficient for heavy duty use in drives. This will preclude the use of some of the more decorative paving stones that are intended for use on pathways.

Driveway paving Prices

The price of your driveway depends on many things, chief among them the size of the area to be paved and the type and style of paving that you choose. If you opt for a decorative block paving design with patterns and attractive decor you will naturally pay more than for a simple drive with traditional slabs. One way of saving money is to install two rows of slabs where the wheels of the vehicle will travel, and fill the rest with an attractive gravel – a method used frequently by commercial builders.
