Before

Old cracked driveway before block paving installation in Kent

This project began with an old, tired driveway that had become cracked, uneven, and poorly suited for modern use. We started by removing the existing surface, digging out the area to the correct depth, and clearing all waste materials. Once the site was fully prepared, we laid a solid sub-base to ensure a durable foundation for the new driveway.

Levelling and Retaining Walls

We levelled the ground to ensure a flat and level surface for the new driveway. We also installed retaining walls to support garden beds and create a clean, modern look.

Block Paving

The central portion of the driveway features high-quality block paving in a stylish pattern, offering durability and a visually appealing finish. The blocks were carefully selected to complement the property’s exterior, ensuring a cohesive and polished appearance. The interlocking design also provides a sturdy and long-lasting surface capable of withstanding all weather conditions.

Slate Paving

To create contrast and add a touch of luxury, slate paving was used for the steps to the front door. The sleek, natural tones of the slate bring a modern, upscale feel to the design, while its textured surface ensures slip resistance and practicality.

Lighting

For added safety and style, we incorporated modern LED lighting into the driveway. Soft, recessed lights were installed along the edges to illuminate the space without being overpowering. These lights not only enhance visibility during darker hours but also add a sophisticated ambiance to the overall design.
