Block Paving Driveways for homes in Harworth
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 Harworth
Harworth and the adjoining Bircotes sit at the northern tip of Nottinghamshire, close to the South Yorkshire boundary, and both grew around Harworth colliery — Bircotes in particular being planned model housing built for the pit. That planned origin gives regular streets and uniform, generous plots. Substantial new development has been added around the former colliery site in recent years, so the area now combines that consistent older stock with modern estate housing on smaller, level plots. The two need different approaches: the older properties have the room for a driveway with genuine turning space and a rear garden split into zones, while the newer housing suits a cleaner, more compact scheme in porcelain paving and artificial grass.
