Block paving in Frodsham
Block paving in Frodsham and Helsby
Frodsham and Helsby both sit on the edge of the hills, and a lot of drives here aren’t flat. Block paving is well suited to that: it grips, it holds its shape and it can be laid with steps and drainage channels built in.
We lay Marshalls block paving in herringbone, basketweave or stretcher bond, with borders and colours to suit. Older stone and brick cottages often suit warmer brindle blends, while newer homes tend to go for greys and charcoals.

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 on a slope
On a sloping drive, the most important parts are the ones you can’t see: a well-compacted base, solid edge restraints and falls that carry water away from the garage and the house. If water needs somewhere to go, we can add a channel drain at the bottom of the slope.
