Block Paving Driveway Installation in Burgess Hill

Proper Sub-Base Preparation
The most important part of a block paving driveway is what goes beneath the blocks. Without a properly compacted sub-base of the right depth, blocks will sink, shift, and cause puddles within a few years. M&S Landscaping excavates to the correct depth for the expected load, compacts a hardcore sub-base thoroughly, and lays the correct sand bed before any blocks go down. This preparation stage is what separates a driveway that lasts from one that fails early.
Block and Colour Selection
Block paving comes in a wide range of colours, textures, and laying patterns. Herringbone is the most common and most stable pattern for driveways, but basket weave and stretcher bond are also popular. We help you choose a block and colour combination that suits your property and the surrounding streetscape. Many of our Burgess Hill customers like a block colour that complements their brick or render rather than one that stands out sharply.
Edging, Drainage, and Finishing Details
The finishing details make the difference between a good driveway and a great one. Solid edging restraints keep the block field from spreading outward over time. A channel drain or cross fall keeps rainwater moving off the surface and away from the house. And properly kiln-dried sand brushed into the joints binds the whole surface together. M&S Landscaping pays attention to all of these details so your Burgess Hill driveway performs as well as it looks.

We completed a full block paving driveway for a detached property near Hurstpierpoint where the original tarmac had cracked and sunken badly after years of use. The customer chose a herringbone layout in a warm charcoal block. We excavated the old surface, built up the sub-base, installed drainage, and laid the full driveway in four days. The customer was delighted with the result.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does block paving driveway installation take in Burgess Hill?
A standard residential block paving driveway in Burgess Hill typically takes three to five days from start to finish, depending on the size and site access. We will give you a clear timeline when we provide your free quote.
Do I need planning permission for a block paving driveway in Burgess Hill?
Block paving is a permeable surface and typically does not require planning permission when installed correctly with appropriate joint sanding and drainage. Non-permeable driveways over five square metres may need permission. We will advise you on this during your free quote.
How do I maintain a block paving driveway in Burgess Hill?
Block paving is low maintenance but benefits from occasional jet washing and re-sanding of joints every few years. Sealing the surface also helps prevent weed growth and keeps the colour looking fresh. M&S Landscaping can advise on maintenance during your free consultation.
