Patios
Why Block Paving Works in the Garden
Block paving gives a patio texture and pattern, and the small units follow curves and awkward shapes more easily than large slabs. Brick-weave patterns that mix two or three colours suit older houses, while larger, plain-edged blocks give a cleaner modern look.
Because it is the same material used on driveways, a block paved patio can match or link up with your drive and paths.

Block Paving Patios
How We Lay It
The area is dug out, a membrane laid where needed and a crushed stone sub-base compacted. Blocks go onto a screeded sand bed with a slight fall away from the house, then the edges are cut and restrained with a concrete haunch and the joints filled with kiln-dried sand before a final compaction.
Individual blocks can be lifted and relaid later if you need to reach a drain or pipe, which is much harder with a mortar-bedded slab patio.
