Why Block Paving in Lymm is Best

If you’re looking to improve your home with a new patio or driveway but you’re not sure about the best kind of surface to choose, then block paving is certainly worth consideration. Block paving in Lymm comes in many different colours, so you can create your own designs with ease. Many people don’t consider block paving for their driveway or patio because they believe their choices are limited when it comes to creativity and design. This couldn’t be further from the truth, and the reality is that block paved patios and driveways are one of the most durable types of surface, require minimal maintenance and are extremely hard wearing.

Enhanced Durability and Aesthetic Versatility

Block paving won’t wear down over time and it isn’t prone to cracks like tarmac. You will also find that it doesn’t get hot throughout the summer months, so it’s ideal if you prefer to park your car on the driveway as opposed to in the garage. When installed by professional contractors, block paved driveways and patios are very easy to install and there are a lot of benefits provided by this type of surface. When it comes to the design of block paving in Lymm the sky is the limit – there are endless options to choose from.

Pathways

Block paving is ideal for pathways. Although you won’t be able to create circular designs or swirls, you will have endless scope for colour customisation. Block paving is very low maintenance, but now and again you might find that weeds or moss grows in-between your bricks. However, this can be dealt with in a matter of seconds. The bricks themselves require no maintenance at all and their colour won’t fade easily with the passing of time. With ordinary paving stone pathways, you increase the chances of weeds and you also run the risk of them cracking if a lot of pressure is applied. Block paving is very hard wearing and the smaller stones used offer an excellent support structure. Because each block is so small you can really design a pathway any way you like – curved pathways for instance are particularly popular so you could have a block paved path running through your garden or even from your front door to your driveway.

Driveways

Block paving is a superb material for your driveway. The stones themselves have lots of grip and this is ideal for when it comes to winter. You won’t need to fret about the floor getting slippery as much and you won’t need to worry about the weight of your vehicle cracking the stones. Some people think about using ordinary paving stones in their driveway but this isn’t a practical choice. The stones can crack with ease if the right pressure is applied and in some instances they might even lift up so they will need replacing if this  happens. Block paved driveways don’t present such troubles and can easily withstand pressure from even the heaviest of vehicles. A block paved driveway can be laid in a multitude of different colours and designs – the sky is the limit when it comes to the design.

Patios

For patio surfacing, block paving is possibly the best option available. Many people opt for wooden decking for their outdoor patio areas but decking has a number of drawbacks when compared to block paving in Lymm. Regular maintenance will be required with wood being prone to mites and various other infestations, and with or without regular maintenance you will find that decking rots over time. Aside from a little moss growing between the bricks, block paved patios are virtually maintenance free and will last much longer than a wood deck. Block paving is a very good option for those who want a low maintenance solution for their outdoor flooring.
