Block Paving vs Resin: Which Driveway Is Best in Redditch?

If you're thinking about block paving driveways for a property in Redditch, here's what's genuinely worth knowing first. A block paved driveway gives a property a smart, durable entrance, laid using individual concrete or clay blocks that are set over a properly compacted sub-base so the surface stays flat and stable under vehicle weight. There's rarely a single right answer here - it depends on the garden, the budget and how the space will be used.

Weighing Up the Options in Redditch

There isn't one option that's automatically right for every Redditch garden. Points worth weighing up include:

• A durable surface built to cope with everyday vehicle use
• A wide choice of block styles, colours, patterns and borders
• Individual blocks can be lifted and replaced if ever damaged
• Properly laid paving improves drainage compared to old cracked concrete

How long does a block paved driveway last?

A properly installed block paved driveway in Redditch should last for decades, provided the ground preparation and sub-base were done correctly at the outset.

Do I need planning permission for a new driveway?

In most cases resurfacing an existing driveway doesn't need planning permission, but larger non-permeable driveways over a certain size can require it - we're happy to advise on your specific project in Redditch.

Can block paving be repaired if it's damaged?

Yes, one of the advantages of block paving is that individual blocks can usually be lifted and replaced without disturbing the rest of the driveway.
