Block Paved Driveways in Leyland and the surrounding area

Block paving works as well on a path or a patio as it does on a driveway, which is part of the appeal. There is a wide choice of block size, colour and finish, and the laying pattern changes the look again, from herringbone through stretcher bond to a contrasting border around the edge. Put those together and a Leyland drive can be made to complement the house and the garden rather than compete with them.

It is a practical finish as well as a good-looking one. Block paving is cost-effective to lay and low maintenance once it is down, and because the blocks sit individually, a stained or damaged one can be lifted and replaced without disturbing the rest of the drive. Whole sections come up and go back the same way if anything underneath ever needs reaching.

  • Excavation and a compacted sub-base

How we do it

  1. 01

    Survey and choose

    We measure up and check the ground, and you settle on the block, the colour and the laying pattern.

    Base and edges

    We dig out, lay and compact the sub-base, and set the edge restraints to line and level.

  3. 03

    Lay, compact and joint

    We lay to pattern, compact the blocks, then brush in the jointing sand and finish the edges.

Why us

Why choose THB Contractors

We have worked across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire for over 20 years, and Leyland is a regular stop for our driveway and surfacing work. You are trusting someone to dig up the front of your property, or to take a car park out of use for a few days, so it is fair to want to know how we work first. We look properly before we price, we build the base around the ground we actually find, and the same team stays with the job from the first visit to the last sweep-up.

From our base in Bolton we cover Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, and Leyland is one of the Lancashire towns we are in regularly. That takes in the PR25 postcodes and the areas around them: Farington, Bamber Bridge, Buckshaw Village and Lostock Hall are all part of the same run for us.

  • Over 20 years’ experience

    We have spent twenty years laying driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West, and we are known for quality workmanship and tidy, reliable jobs.

  • A written, itemised quote

    We put the price in writing after the site visit, so you are not caught out by anything once the job is under way.

  • The base done properly

    Most surfaces fail from underneath. We build the base to suit the ground we find rather than handing every job the same dig-out.

  • The same people throughout

    You are not passed around. The same team handles your job from the quote through to the day it finishes.

  • Domestic and commercial

    We give a single driveway the same care we give a full car park, both in how we price it and how we plan the work.

The main things that move the figure:

  • The area and the laying pattern (some create more cuts and waste)
  • The block chosen and any contrasting borders
  • How much excavation and disposal the ground needs
  • Access to the site for materials and machinery

Common questions

Can a block driveway be repaired later?

Yes. Individual blocks can be lifted and relaid, so a driveway can be opened up for access and put back without a visible patch.

Will weeds grow through the joints?

A properly compacted base and kiln-dried jointing sand keep weeds down. It is worth re-sanding the joints every few years to keep them tight.

How long does a block paved driveway take?

Most domestic block driveways take a few days depending on the area, the ground and the weather. You get a realistic duration with the quote.
