Large Block-Paved Driveway in Skelmersdale
One of the many reasons why Lake Stone Paving has enjoyed so much success over the years involves the attention to detail that we associate with every project. When combined with a client-centred approach alongside a host of driveway surfacing solutions, it is clear that we are indeed a cut above the rest. This is particularly relevant when discussing unique surfacing techniques such as block paving. Let’s examine a recently completed project in Skelmersdale to better understand what customers can expect.
A Bit of a Change
In this case, we were tasked with removing a tarmac driveway that was slightly outdated. The customer was instead interested in a different type of surface that would offer functionality alongside bespoke beauty. We discussed a handful of options in detail and it was finally decided that block paving stones represented the most logical solution.
The Beauty of Block Paving
Block paving stones offer a decidedly traditional flavour and yet, they are perfectly suited within more contemporary environments. These materials are extremely durable and it is possible to select from a kaleidoscope of different patterns (we chose a herringbone layout for this project). As each needs to be laid by hand, the outcome is always a direct result of industry experience and an eye for detail.
All About Coordination
The interior of the driveway consisted of light grey paving stones. These represented a nice departure from the jet black nature of tarmac. We then chose to employ a red brick border in order to coordinate the driveway surface with the exterior facade of the home. This is often a preferred method due to the fact that it can provide a visually seamless appearance. Other unique elements included a series steps leading to the front door and strategically placed drainage grates.
Block paving is certainly one of the most popular driveway surfacing options and we are pleased to offer this as one of our many solutions. Whether you are dealing with a smaller area or your driveway will accommodate numerous vehicles, feel free to contact us directly to learn more.
