Block paving in Ellesmere Port
In Ellesmere Port, a lot of the block paving we’re asked for is about space: turning a front lawn and a single strip of drive into room for two or three cars. Block paving is ideal for that because it handles the curves, kerbs and corners that come with reshaping a frontage.
We lay Marshalls block paving in a choice of patterns and colours. Herringbone with a charcoal border is the most popular combination on the newer estates around Great Sutton and Whitby, but there are plenty of options.

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
Wider drives and dropped kerbs
If your new drive needs a longer dropped kerb, that needs approval from Cheshire West and Chester Council before work starts, and the council checks things like the space on your property and distance from junctions. We’ll help you work out whether it’s likely to be approved, and plan the driveway around it.

Usually, yes, if there’s room. We’ll measure up on the survey and check whether the dropped kerb needs extending.
What’s the most popular block paving in Ellesmere Port?
Grey and charcoal blends in herringbone, often with a contrasting border, are very popular on newer houses. Brindle and red tones are also common.
How long will it take?
Most block paved driveways take one to two weeks. We’ll give you a timescale with your quote.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
No. There’s no deposit and you pay when the job is finished. Finance is also available.
