Driveway Contractors Staines-upon-Thames

Block paving, also known as brick paving, is a method of creating paved surfaces using individual bricks or blocks. These blocks are typically made from concrete, clay or natural stone and are arranged in various patterns to create driveways, pathways, patios and other outdoor surfaces.

The duration of a driveway installation can vary depending on factors such as the size and complexity of the project, weather conditions and the chosen material. In general, however, most driveway installations can be completed within a few days to a couple of weeks.

Tarmac driveways are relatively low maintenance. Regular sweeping to remove debris and occasional pressure washing to remove stains are usually sufficient. Periodic resealing every few years can help maintain its appearance and prolong its lifespan.

Sealing is applying a protective coating to your driveway after cleaning once the surface is fully dry. It can be applied to block paving and natural stone patio slabs. Sealing puts a protective layer on the surface which is oil and water-resistant which deters staining. It also helps to harden the sand between the joints which will help deter weed growth.

While minor repairs such as filling small cracks or patching holes can be done DIY, more extensive repairs or replacements are best left to professionals. As professional contractors, we have the expertise, equipment and experience to ensure that repairs are done correctly and effectively, saving you time, money and hassle in the long run.

While weeds can sometimes sprout through the gravel, installing a weed barrier or membrane underneath the gravel can help prevent weed growth. Additionally, regular maintenance such as weed pulling or applying herbicides can help keep weeds at bay.

You can have your driveway pressure washed at any time of year. However, if you have block paving, it will need to be re-sanded after cleaning and colder, damper months are not suitable for this as the blocks are likely to stay damp.

With proper installation and maintenance, a gravel driveway can last up to 100 years or even longer. Factors such as the quality of the gravel, drainage and frequency of use play a significant role in determining its lifespan. The beauty of gravel is that it can be repaired or replenished on an ongoing basis.
