Block Paving Driveways for homes in Kilton
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 Kilton
Kilton is a residential district on the eastern side of Worksop, largely made up of post-war estate housing along with older properties toward the Kilton Hill and Manton side. The estate housing here follows the familiar pattern for its period — semi-detached properties on regular plots with front gardens that were designed for planting rather than parking, and rear gardens of a decent, workable length. Converting those front gardens into proper off-road parking is the single most common request in this part of Worksop, and doing it correctly means excavating the full area, building a base that will carry vehicle weight, and setting the falls and drainage so water goes to the road rather than toward the house. The ground rises toward Kilton Hill, so levels are checked carefully.
