Project Overview
This huge project in Clitheroe involved a complete transformation of the outdoor space. We had a focus on the functionality and aesthetic appeal. The transformation included a block paved driveway with a herringbone pattern and a stunning porcelain- tiled patio that is complemented by sleeper flower beds.
Driveway Installation
- Block Paving Selection: We used natural grey block paving for the main surface, paired with contrasting charcoal accents to define the edges. These colours complement the home’s exterior while also maintaining a clean and modern look.
- Herringbone Pattern for Strength: The laid was laid in a 45 degree herringbone pattern, which enhances durability and distributes weight evenly. The herringbone pattern prevents the blocks from shifting under vehicle pressure, ensuring long-term stability.
- Defined Border for Polished Finish: To create a clear boundary, we installed contrasting charcoal block edging. This border neatly frames the driveway, boosting visual appeal.
- Practical and Low Maintenance: The block paving allows for easy drainage, reducing the risk of puddles or surface damage. Additionally, the materials require minimal upkeep, keeping the driveway looking fresh with a simple occasional clean.
Before and After:
Patio Area with Porcelain Tiles
- Premium Porcelain Tiles for Elegance: High-quality porcelain tiles in a cream and black colour scheme were installed, they brightened the outdoor space significantly while also maintaining a sleek, contemporary feel.
- Weather-Resistant and Easy to Clean: Porcelain is known for being highly resistant to moisture, stains and fading. This makes the patio ideal for year-round use with minimal maintenance.
- Contrasting Border for Structured Look: We framed the patio with black tiles, creating a striking contrast against the cream surface. The detail enhances the overall design and gives the patio a structured and defined appearance.
- Smooth and Safe Surface: The porcelain tiles have a textured finish, reducing the risk of slipping and ensuring safety even in wet conditions.
Sleeper Flower Beds for a Natural Touch
- Sturdy Wooden Sleepers for Raised Beds: We installed timber sleepers to create raised flower beds around the patio. These beds add structure to the garden while blending with the natural surroundings.
- Defined Planting Areas for Easy Maintenance: The raised design keeps plants contained, making garden care easier by preventing soil from spreading onto the patio.
- Durable and Long-Lasting Material: The treated timber resists rot and weather damage, making sure the flower beds remain solid and attractive for years.


The Finished Result
This driveway and patio transformation created a stylish and functional space that boosts both kerb appeal and usability. The durable block paving, sleek porcelain tiles and natural wood elements combine to form a low-maintenance, high impact outdoor area that the homeowners can enjoy for years.
