What is Block Paving?

Block paving also called brick paving is a commonly used to develop a pretty, hard wearing path or driveway. It’s popular with lots of homeowners throughout the UK.

The major benefit over other ways of creating hard wearing drives is that the surface, made up of small blocks have the ability to be lifted up and then replaced. This allows for remedial work to be carried out beneath the surface of the paving with no visible disruption to the surface when the paving bricks are replaced. This often ensures the cost of maintenance is a low one.

Common areas of use are for driveways, sidewalks, patios, town centres, and street surfaces.

How to Get Rid of Weeds in Block Paving

When your block paved drive is installed, ensure that there is a sufficient and proper slope for water to drain from when the wet weather hits (this is the UK – so this is of the up-most importance 🙂 – weeds like cool, damp environments, so proper drainage will help ensure the weeds are kept at bay.

Ensure your drives regularly swept and cleaned. This will prevent any weeds and their seeds from settling and establishing themselves on your lovely drive! Doing this from time to time will ensure your drive continues to look its glorious best!

• Want to use a pressure washer? No problem – for the best results angle your pressure washer at 30° and spray it diagonally on a medium pressure setting
