There’s many processes involved in installing a block paving driveway. Before any building work begins, we will organise a consultation with you. You can decide on the colours, design and pattern of your driveway.
When the building commences, we first take away any existing surface, and dig. We may then need to install a Geo-sheet, depending on the earth. A geo-sheet is a manufactured separation membrane that goes on top of the earth in certain circumstances.
The next layer is the sub-base, which is a load bearing layer. Then, we add a layer of sand, which provides a surface for the blocks to settle on. Once the sand is down, we begin laying the blocks in the design you’ve chosen. Finally, we brush a finer sand over the block, which is compacted and seals the joint. You may also want to include other features to your driveway, such as kerbs or borders.
Some people think it’s an easy process, it is for professionally trained, and skilled craftsmen.

Do I need to get approved planning permission for my block paving installation in Barnsley?
Whilst planning permission isn’t usually necessary for block paving, it is important to consider it just in case. This especially applies if your block paved area may suffer from flooding problems or water runs into a public drain in your area, it may be an idea to contact the council and see what other drainage options are available. Most councils vary in their rules, but it’s always best to check, should you require any more information, contact our experts today.
During the block paving installation, how long will my driveway be out of bounds?
Our team of professional driveway installers will begin the process of your installation, this will involve digging the base, this will usually takes around 1-2 days but depends on the base material. Our professional installation team will lay the bedding of sand, and at this stage you won’t be able to walk over it for a few hours. Once we have laid the blocks you’ll then be free to walk over it. However, when it comes to driving vehicles over the surface, this is forbidden until the sanding and compaction is complete, walking over this surface at this point can have a detrimental impact to your driveway surface.
Can I have block paving laid at any time of the year?
When it comes to new block paving installations, the process is suitable all year around across the Barnsley area. If you’re looking to have block paving installed in winter, then this process is most likely to be slower, this tends to be due to the weather conditions. We also recommend that your block paving shouldn’t be installed at temperatures over 30C or below -8C, our expert team are knowledgeable in this area, so should you have any further questions or queries, we assist.
How far will you have to dig down for the installation?
When it comes to your block paving installation, at Central Group, we’ll ensure that we only dig to the necessary depth that’s required to provide the driveway installation. The total digging depth that we require will be the total depth of the blocks and sand combined together. We’ve come to the conclusion, after working on a number of clients’ driveways, that the average depth for the majority of block paving installations tends to be around 25-30cm.
If a block is damaged, can this be replaced easily?
Yes, in fact this is one of the most beneficial reasons to choose block paving. Block paving is one of the most quick and easiest driveway repairs to carry out, at Central Group our professional team can easily repair and replace the blocks, so if they become faded or become cracked or are damaged, there’s no need to have a brand new complete driveway installation carried out. At Central Group in Barnsley, we’re experts when it comes to block paving repairs and installations.
Do I need to worry about weed growth between the blocks?
With our block paving installations, weeds don’t grow from underneath the block, the only reason they would occur is because of surface seeding. Through regularly spraying your block paving with weed killer this can help to keep the blocks and sand well sealed as well as reduce the chance of them growing.
What sort of maintenance service does my block paving require?
When it comes to the first few weeks, at Central Group we recommend that you let nature take its course and let your new driveway settle. After a few weeks have passed, it’s then ok for you to go out and clean it on a regular basis, tidy it up and keep it looking good. After 3 years, we then say that it’s then fine to give it a good thorough clean or have a sand and reseal carried out.
