Block paving on the Wirral
Block paving across the Wirral
From terraces in Birkenhead to big detached homes in Caldy and Heswall, block paving works on almost any Wirral frontage. It handles curves, slopes and steps, and if you ever need to get under it for a drain or cable, the blocks lift out and go back down.
We lay Marshalls block paving in herringbone, basketweave and stretcher bond, with contrasting borders and feature details if you want them. Grey and charcoal blends are popular on newer homes, while brindle and red tones often suit older brick.

Why choose it
Why block paving?
Lots of looks
Herringbone, basketweave or stretcher bond, with borders and colours to suit the house.
Hard-wearing
Laid on a proper compacted base, block paving copes with cars and vans for years.
Easy to repair
If a block is ever damaged or stained, it can be lifted and replaced.
Permeable options
Permeable block paving lets rain soak through, which helps with the planning rules.
Good to know
Block paving near the coast
A lot of the Wirral is low-lying or close to the sea, and heavy rain is part of life here. The base and the drainage do most of the work, so we never skimp on them. If you want to pave the whole frontage, permeable block paving lets rain drain through and means you won’t need planning permission for the drive.

FAQs
Questions people ask
Do you lay block paving all over the Wirral?
Yes. We work right across the Wirral, including Birkenhead, Wallasey, Heswall, West Kirby, Hoylake, Bebington, Bromborough, Moreton and Neston.
How long does a block paved driveway take?
Usually one to two weeks, depending on the size and the groundwork. We’ll give you a timescale with your quote.
Can block paving go on a sloping drive?
Yes. Block paving grips well on slopes, and we can build in steps and drainage where needed.
Do I need planning permission for block paving on the Wirral?
Not if it’s permeable block paving or the water drains onto a lawn or border. A non-permeable driveway over 5m² with nowhere for the water to go would need permission.
