Block Paving Driveways in Aughton

Block Paving Driveways in Aughton

Aughton has a village feel, with substantial detached houses and smaller village-centre homes sitting side by side, and block paving suits that mix better than most surfaces. On the larger plots, a sweep of block in a blend of tones can echo the brickwork and give a drive some character, while the smaller frontages near the centre benefit from the way block can be cut neatly around bays, steps and borders. Block paving in Aughton also handles the occasional longer approach well, since it can be laid in sections and repaired by lifting individual blocks. If your drive is a long rural-style run with little formal edge, gravel or tarmac may be more natural, but for most frontages block paving is a dependable, attractive choice.

Planning block paving driveways in Aughton

Aughton sits on the edge of the West Lancashire Plain, so ground is generally flat, but longer fringe drives need thought about edge restraint and drainage at the lower end. Properties nearer the older village centre tend to benefit from a more considered colour choice, such as muted tones rather than strong reds. Where a drive leads off a lane, check how the surface meets the road. Planning questions go to West Lancashire Borough Council, and a dropped kerb is a separate highways matter from the paving itself.
