Large Block Paved Driveway and Path in Rochdale
We recently completed this extensive 120 square meter driveway transformation in Rochdale, turning a tired and uneven concrete space into a stunning, modern entrance to the property. The entire project, from excavation to the final touches, was completed in just 7 days.
Our Process
As you can see from the “before” images, the existing driveway was dated and worn. The initial phase of the project involved breaking up and removing all of the old concrete and vegetation, a significant task that required careful and thorough site clearance. Our team then meticulously prepared the groundwork, leveling the entire 120m² area to create the perfect foundation for the new surface. This preparation stage is crucial for ensuring a long-lasting and durable finish.
Before and After:
Laying The Block Paving
With the foundations set, we began laying the block paving. The client chose a stylish combination of Brindle and Charcoal blocks, which we laid in a classic 45° herringbone pattern. This design adds a sense of depth and character to the large space. To ensure a seamless and practical finish, we integrated two recess manhole covers, hiding them from view while keeping them fully accessible.
Finishing Touches
Beyond the main driveway, the project also included a new block-paved garden path and a step, creating a cohesive look that flows from the front of the house right through to the garden. The finished result is a clean, expansive, and highly durable driveway that dramatically enhances the property’s curb appeal.
Final Result:
The completed driveway is a stunning transformation that has completely revitalised the exterior of the property. The striking Brindle and Charcoal block paving laid in a 45° herringbone pattern creates a smart, textured finish that’s both attractive and practical. The new surface is not only visually impressive but also built to last, thanks to the solid groundwork and expert installation. The addition of recessed manhole covers keeps the surface looking clean and uninterrupted, while the new garden path and front step tie everything together beautifully. This 120m² upgrade has given the homeowners a spacious, low-maintenance driveway and a welcoming new entrance that significantly boosts the property’s curb appeal and everyday usability.
