Charcoal Block Paving Driveway, Worcester
A front garden of lawn and worn paving turned into a charcoal herringbone block paved driveway with a red brick border, with room for several cars.
The brief
The front of this Worcester home was a mix of lawn and worn paving, with nowhere near enough room to park. The owners wanted space for more than one car and a neat surface that would need very little looking after.
What we did
We dug the whole area out to the right depth and put in an MOT Type 1 sub-base, compacted properly so the drive won’t sink or move later on.
The charcoal blocks went down in a herringbone pattern, the strongest layout for a driveway that takes cars turning on it every day. A red brick border runs round the edges and across the entrance to frame the darker blocks.
The result
A big, hard-wearing driveway with proper off-road parking, and a frontage that looks a lot smarter from the road.
