Hard-wearing block paving driveways laid properly, with the right sub-base and falls, for a surface that stays flat for years.
Block Paving Driveways in Bath
Bath customers looking for block paving driveways turn to Severn Vale Driveways. Block paving remains the most popular driveway surface in the UK for good reason — it's tough, repairable, and available in enough colours and laying patterns to suit anything from a Victorian terrace to a new-build estate. At Severn Vale Driveways we take the groundwork as seriously as the finish: proper excavation depth, a compacted sub-base, and correctly graded bedding sand so water runs where it should instead of pooling or undermining the blocks. Herringbone, stretcher-bond or a mixed-pattern border — we'll talk you through what suits your property honestly, without pushing you toward the most expensive option. Because block paving is made of individual units, a damaged or stained section can be lifted and replaced without disturbing the rest of the drive, which most other surfaces can't offer. As a UNESCO World Heritage City, Bath has some of the tightest planning controls of anywhere we work — the honey-coloured stone terraces around the centre and much of the wider city sit within conservation areas where hard-surfacing choices are scrutinised closely. Resin-bound driveways in a stone-matched aggregate or muted block paving tend to sit far better against Bath stone frontages than plain black tarmac, and we always factor the city's planning sensitivities into the recommendation before quoting. Properties further out toward Odd Down and Newbridge have more flexibility.
