Block Paving Driveways in Heswall

Block Paving Driveways in Heswall

Few places in Merseyside reward block paving as well as the hillside above the Dee. Block paving driveways in Heswall suit the town's larger detached homes because the interlocking blocks and firm edge restraints hold their line on a gradient, where loose or poorly edged surfaces tend to creep downhill. The sandstone beneath much of the town generally drains reasonably well, and the pattern options let you echo the character of a bigger house rather than settle for a plain apron. Individual blocks can also be lifted and replaced if a service trench is ever dug, which is handy on older plots. If your drive is steep, we would look hard at falls and edging before talking about colour.

Planning block paving driveways in Heswall

On a sloping Heswall plot the first question is where the water goes. A drive that falls towards the house or onto the pavement needs its levels reset and a proper sub-base, not just a new top layer. Edge restraints matter more here than on flat ground, because the blocks are working against gravity. Terrain changes from street to street across the hill, so each site is assessed individually. Check whether the area is covered by any extra restrictions, and if the new surface will be impermeable, speak to Wirral Council about permission for anything over five square metres at the front.
