What is block paving?
Our Pickering block paving is sometimes known as 'brick paving' - it is a commonly used decorative method of creating a pavement or hard-standing. Block paved driveways can be used for both domestic and commercial locations.
The main benefits of using paviers over other materials are the attractive appearance and the fact that individual blocks can be lifted and replaced when they become worn or damaged.
The appearance of Pickering block paving
The bricks or 'paviers' used in Pickering block paved driveways are usually made from recycled materials such as crushed glass and old building rubble. Paving blocks can be used to achieve different layout patterns on your new Pickering driveway, including the most popular styles like a 'herringbone' pattern.
Not only does block paving look good, but it offers a very strong bond due to the interlocking nature of the paving patterns.
What are the other advantages of block paving in Pickering?
Pickering block paving has many more benefits. Apart from adding value and kerb-appeal to your home, there is also no need for separate drainage.
Paving blocks provide enough strength and support for cars and other vehicles, and a properly laid block driveway should not sink or move around.

Driveway FAQs
Read some frequently asked questions about Pickering block paving and driveways
One major difference between the two is that in a resin bonded system, the stone is only bonded to the resin on one side. In contrast, a resin bound driveway features a multi-layer stone surface, with a much smoother finish.
Resin bound is water permeable, letting rain drain through the surface, whereas resin bond doesn’t allow for this.
Unlike block paved or concrete driveways and surfaces, tarmac can be laid directly onto any existing surface, whereas the other materials require a full depth bedding layer before work can even begin.
Permeable surfaces (also known as porous or pervious surfaces) allow water to percolate into the soil and filter out pollutants, recharging the water table.
Tarmac/Asphalt, Resin Bound, Gravel/Shingle and Block Paving are all classes as permeable surfaces.
As a completely natural and fully recyclable material tarmac can be considered one of the most environmentally friendly methods of surfacing available.
A resin bound surface is the recommend surface type for a slope driveway. This is because it can be easily shaped to cover nearly any area.
There are particular guidelines for householders who want to pave over their front gardens in order to turn them into driveways.
Planning permission is not needed for new driveways, regardless of the size, as long as the surfacing used is permeable. This porous surfacing allows water to drain through. Experts suggest using porous asphalt, resin bound or permeable concrete block paving, or directing the rainwater to a lawn or border in order for it to drain naturally.
A new driveway must be at least 10ft to 12ft wide (3m to 3.6m), as anything smaller will present challenges for drivers.
Block paving does not need sealing in order to last a long time. However sealant reduces the risk of your driveway discolouring and cracking, and it really is the protective layer.
If anything is spilt on your driveway i.e. oil, it is much easier to clean up if the area has been sealed.
A driveway can potentially add 5-10% to your property’s value, as long as it is expertly installed.
A gravel/shingle driveway is the cheapest option for most properties and is also the quickest to install.
The best type of driveway depends on many factors. How long you want it to last, how much maintenance you are prepared to do, how you want it to look and how much traffic it will face.
We recommend Tarmac/Asphalt or Resin Bound if you want a hard-wearing yet attractive surface, with little maintenance needed.
