Many residential households, including commercial premises, prefer block paving for a variety of reasons, including:

  • Block paving is extremely durable.  Having a block pathway/driveway installed, can be a hugely useful asset, as well as enhancing the exterior visual of your property.

  • This is a hugely desirable look for homes; many people will be more than happy to look at your home if you ever decide to sell based on this fact. Both from a practical and aesthetically pleasing angle. It is a popuar choice and many people believe it’s by far the most welcoming look for the outside of a home
