Block Paving Driveways in Walton

Block Paving Driveways in Walton

Walton is a district of two halves when it comes to driveways. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces nearer the centre have shallow front gardens where block paving cuts neatly around steps and bay windows, while the wider plots further out give room for a proper two-car layout with a border and a turning area. In both cases the strength of block paving is that it is made of small units, so it follows the shape of the plot and can be mended piece by piece. Block paving driveways in Walton are also a popular, practical choice for homes near Walton Hall Park, where families want something hard-wearing that still looks smart. Pick a colour that picks up the brickwork, and keep the pattern simple.

Planning block paving driveways in Walton

On a Walton terrace the main issue is fitting a car in with room to open the door. Check width at the gate, any steps down to the pavement and whether the front wall needs lowering or rebuilding. Surface water should drain to a point on your own property. The pavement crossing, or dropped kerb, is dealt with separately by Liverpool City Council. On wider plots further from the centre, falls and a proper sub-base matter more than the pattern, since heavier or more frequent use will test the build.
