Block Paving Installation Process Bedford
The installation process for block paving in Bedford typically involves several key steps:
Step 1: Preparation
The area is cleared, and the ground is levelled. This includes removing any existing driveway material and ensuring a stable base for the paving.
Step 2: Sub-base Installation
A layer of sub-base material, usually crushed stone, is laid and compacted to create a sturdy foundation for the blocks.
Step 3: Edge Restraints
Edging stones are placed around the perimeter. They are crucial for maintaining the integrity and shape of the paving.
Step 4: Screeding
A layer of sharp sand is laid over the sub-base and leveled (screeded) to provide a smooth surface for the blocks.
Step 5: Laying the Blocks
The blocks are placed on the sand bed following the chosen pattern. They are usually laid from a corner or edge and kept tight against each other.
Step 6: Cutting Blocks
For areas that require smaller blocks, they are cut to size and fitted into place.
Step 7: Compacting the Paving
Once all blocks are laid, the surface is compacted with a plate compactor. This helps bed the blocks into the sand.
Step 8: Jointing Sand
Sand is swept into the joints between the blocks. This sand is compacted and topped up as needed.
Sealing (Optional): Some types of paving may benefit from sealing, which helps protect the surface and reduce maintenance.

Permeable block paving reduces surface run-off water by allowing it to drain between the blocks and into the sub-base.
Block paving professionally laid on a subbase is stronger than the concrete itself. You could expect it to last a lifetime if due care is taken with your driveway in the form of regular maintenance.
It’s good practice to provide maintenance to your driveway usually in the form of regular sweeping, jet washing and the occasional sanding.
