- Clear pricing and tidy, careful crews
Herringbone
The strongest pattern for vehicles, because the interlock spreads load and resists movement. It suits driveways well.
Stretcher bond
Blocks laid in straight rows like brickwork. Simple and neat, but less locked in under heavy turning.
Basketweave
A decorative pattern best for patios and paths rather than busy drives.
Colours
Greys and charcoals look modern, buff and brindle suit traditional homes, and red is classic. Mixed colours hide dirt better.
Borders and details
A contrasting border or parking bay marking adds detail without much extra cost.
Choosing
Match the house, brick, roof and neighbouring homes. See block paving driveways.
