Traditional Block Paving
With traditional block paving comes also an extensive choice of different brands, colours and styles. One of the advantages is we are not tied to any one company, therefore we can supply and install block paving from many leading manufacturers. Block paving is not only used in driveway areas it is also often used to create patios, pathways and steps.
Pattern Imprinted Concrete
Pattern Imprinted Concrete is a method of stamping the surface of the ready mixed concrete. You can create various different looks using this stamping method, a look of cobbles, slate, bricks, tiles or even stone.
With Pattern imprinted concrete there is a wide choice of colours to choose from, we find this type of paving is popular for driveways due to it requiring very little maintenance.
If you are looking for a hassle-free driveway, then this could be a more suitable option for you. However, they are certain properties we would not recommend this type of driveway for, therefore it’s always best to have a survey carried out first.
The Traditional Tarmac Installation vs Patterned Concrete
The issue with traditional tarmac is it can often melt in hot weather conditions. With the pattern imprinted concrete the product is specially hardened and has a resilient surface. The pattern is permanent and colouring used which does not fade, slip or break up. In turn, this helps offer a larger life span.
Permeable Driveways Gateshead
Permeable driveways allow the water to disperse in the area it falls. Extra drainage systems do not need to be added for this type of block paving. In areas with severe flooding, Permeable driveways can be the ideal solution.
Furthermore, over the years this product has developed, we have seen a much larger choice available to customers for this type of driveway than previous years.
