New Block Paving Driveway in Didsbury
The Start of a New Year and Another Gorgeous Block Paving Driveway in Didsbury, Manchester Completed!
Trees play an important part in garden life, giving structure, acting as a natural shield, and encouraging wildlife. In the summer they create shade and with a gentle breeze blowing through the leaves, can bring a relaxing feel to any outside space. These are all reasons why it is so important to keep established trees in place, whenever possible.
Taking up large trees and shrubs can also present problems, so sometimes, while it may not initially seem it, if you decide to have a block paving driveway in Didsbury, Manchester, it can be easier to leave the trees in place and work around them, and that’s exactly what we did when we laid a new driveway in Didsbury, Manchester.
We used Plasmor Plaspave 50 Blocks in traditional brindle. These rectangular blocks are perfect for loadbearing making them an ideal choice for a new driveway in Didsbury, Manchester. We added a few round planters for the existing trees which meant that they could be kept in place and which in turn added interest to the new driveway in Didsbury, Manchester, rather than being one large expanse of stone.
We also included a curved planter along the sides of the driveway, following the line of the hedge and the fence. A charcoal brick border was incorporated which nicely framed the driveway, drawing attention to the lovely flowing curved edges of the block paving driveway in Didsbury, Manchester.
We fitted a drain along the top of the driveway where it met the front wall of the house. This ensured that surface water has somewhere to flow into and makes the driveway SUDs compliant.
The final part of the process was to brush into the joints between the blocks, kiln dried sand. We used the wacker plate to compact this down. You can see what the finished driveway looks like from the photographs attached.
