Our Block Paving Process
PROFESSIONAL BLOCK PAVING INSTALLATIONS
Our block paving service across Colchester, Chelmsford and the surrounding areas starts with a detailed design consultation and site visit to discuss your ideas, recommend suitable styles and materials, and provide measured estimates — for example, a 50m² driveway quote during the initial visit. We’ll also advise on dropped kerbs or planning needs before giving you a clear written quotation. Preparation is key: our team excavates to the correct depth (200–350mm), installs drainage if required, and lays a compacted hardcore base with sharp sand bedding. With secure edging and accurate water falls, each block is hand-laid, compacted, and finished with jointing sand or resin. A typical 50m² driveway takes around 3–5 days to complete, with minimal disruption.

Block Paving Frequently Asked Questions
Discover how Taylorstone can enhance your home with high-quality block paving driveways and block paving services.
How long does block paving installation take?
The duration depends on size and complexity. For a standard 50m² block paving driveway our experienced team usually completes the work in 3–5 days — this includes excavation, base preparation, laying the blocks and finishing. Larger jobs, complex patterns (circular designs or extensive borders) or additional works such as dropped kerbs and drainage can extend the timescale; we give a precise schedule with every quote.
How much does block paving cost in Essex?
As a general guide for standard block paving driveways in Essex prices typically start from around £80–£120 per m², but the final price depends on excavation depth, base material, drainage, patterns and any extra features (borders, circular designs or dropped kerbs). We provide transparent, itemised quotations after a site survey so you know exactly what’s included.
How long will block paving last?
With correct installation and routine maintenance, block paving can last 20+ years. Longevity depends on base preparation, drainage and usage. We use premium materials and proven installation methods to maximise lifespan.
Do you offer a guarantee on your block paving work?
All of our block paving installations come with a workmanship guarantee covering the quality of installation and supplied materials. Guarantee lengths vary by project and materials used; full details are included in your written quotation so you can proceed with confidence.
How do I maintain my block paved driveway?
Maintaining your block paving driveway is pretty straightforward with regular sweeping, occasional pressure washing and some weed control here and there. For long-term protection we recommend resealing every 3–5 years. If stains or ingrained dirt appear, our team can provide professional cleaning and resealing services.
