Block Paving Driveway in Chorlton Cum Hardy, Manchester

An Impressive Block Paving Driveway in Chorlton Cum Hardy, Manchester, Completed!

At Planet Surfacing we have the skills and expertise to install a wide range of driveways including resin bound, pattern imprinted concrete, tarmac, and block paving. For about 25 years, block paving was often the first choice for a new driveway in Chorlton Cum Hardy, Manchester, however, with the popularity of pattern imprinted concrete and resin bound aggregate, we don’t often get the opportunity to install block paving driveways now, so it was nice to do one for some recent clients. The great feature of having a block paving driveway in Chorlton Cum Hardy, Manchester is that it doesn’t matter if the weather is bad, because unlike concrete, block paving can be fitted in wet conditions.

This block paving driveway in Chorlton Cum Hardy, Manchester was laid in Tobermore Tegula in heather colour. The blocks have a tumbled effect which gives them an antique appearance similar to weathered stone, making them look natural. With the property being built of old terracotta bricks, it was a great match all round. The new driveway in Chorlton Cum Hardy, Manchester, perfectly complimented the outside appearance of the house, seamlessly linking the two together.

The first part of the project involved opening up the wall to create off road parking. We did this by cutting the wall outside and then rebuilt both sides of it. We managed to source some old terracotta pier caps for the new ends of the wall. We then excavated the area where the driveway was going and added type 1 MOT for the hardcore bed which we were then able to lay the blocks onto. In addition, we used Tobermore heather kerb stones to match the driveway which provided a lovely edging to it and a quality finish.

Adding off road parking to a property that’s in a suburb of a city adds value to it as parking is always at a premium, so while there is a cost incurred for having a new driveway in Chorlton Cum Hardy, Manchester, it’s a great investment.

The driveway was finished off with kiln dried sand brushed into the joints and pressed into place using a wacker. You can see what it looked like as we were installing it, and once finished, from the photographs included.
