Block Paving Driveways for homes in Gateford
Block paving is the traditional choice for a driveway and it is still hard to beat — it takes the weight, individual blocks can be lifted and replaced if something ever gets damaged, and there is a huge range of colours, sizes and laying patterns to work with. Herringbone, stretcher bond, basketweave, a soldier course border in a contrasting colour to frame the drive. We set out the pattern before we start laying so the lines run true against the house and the falls take water where it should go, then edge, compact and joint the whole thing properly so nothing creeps or settles unevenly later.
Working in Gateford
Gateford is the main area of modern growth on the north-western side of Worksop, and it is dominated by relatively recent estate housing — considerably newer on average than the rest of the town. That gives a consistent starting point: brick housing on regular plots, a builder-standard tarmac or block drive, a small rectangular rear garden, and often a modest slab patio outside the back door with turf beyond it. It is the most common brief we see, and the most predictable to improve well. Upgrading the frontage to resin or a properly patterned block drive with a contrasting border transforms the kerb appeal, and in the rear garden a porcelain patio sized correctly to the back of the house with artificial grass beyond gives a low-maintenance, year-round usable space.
