Project Overview:
At Kent Drives & Patios, we recently completed a transformation in Maidstone, turning an old and worn driveway into a stunning, aged-effect block paved surface.
Location: Maidstone, Kent
Removing the Existing Driveway
We began by carefully removing the old concrete driveway, taking care not to damage surrounding areas. Using professional equipment, we broke up the old surface, clearing all debris to make way for a fresh start.
Clearing Debris and Preparing the Site
Once the old driveway was removed, we thoroughly cleared the area of any leftover materials, ensuring a clean slate for the new installation. This step was essential to provide a stable base for the block paving.
Laying the Foundation
A strong foundation is critical for a durable driveway. We installed a sub-base layer, compacting it to prevent future shifting or sinking. This base layer is essential to support the weight of vehicles and ensure long-term stability.
Edge Restraints
To keep the block paving in place and maintain the shape of the driveway, we installed edge restraints around the perimeter. These restraints act as a frame, holding the pavers securely in place.
Installing the Block Paving
With the foundation and edging ready, we started laying the aged-effect blocks in a stylish pattern. Each block was carefully placed to achieve an even and professional finish. Our skilled team ensured precise alignment, giving the driveway a seamless appearance.
Sweeping and Final Cleaning
After the block paving was installed, we swept kiln-dried sand over the surface, filling in the joints between blocks to lock them in place. Finally, we cleaned the entire driveway, leaving it spotless and ready for use.
The result is a beautiful, aged-effect block paved driveway that complements the property and adds significant curb appeal. This new driveway not only enhances the look of the home but also provides a durable, long-lasting surface for everyday use.
