Whilst they may be genuine, there are any number of scary stories of property owners getting substandard work, or being embarrassed and out of pocket when the promised driveway isn't successfully completed.

• Sub-base installation
• Drainage and water run-off prerequisites
• Style, amount and colour of block pavers
• Waste disposal arrangements
• Other factors to consider

If your new block pave driveway is replacing a pre-existing drive, it will be necessary to first lift, remove and recycle the old materials. It could be required to undertake additional excavations to make sure that building regulations relating to the DPC (damp proof course) of your property are adhered to. The regulations require that new driveways are laid at least 2 courses of bricks or 6 inches below the current damp proof course of your home.

If your new block paved drive in Poynton is being laid on top of grass or bare earth, approximately 9" (230mm) of soil must be dug out and disposed of. This means that before your block paving is laid, a proper sub-base and sharp sand layer can be established.

The sub-base is created from a sharp sand topped layer of Type 1 crushed stones and gravel. A solid sub-base makes sure your new driveway does not shift or develop low lying spots where puddles can form. Firmly packed down to form a durable, solid and strong surface for your terrace, drive or path in Poynton, MOT Type 1 is a crushed aggregate, normally composed of limestone or granite.

Any issues with drainage will be addressed during this phase of the installation process. A fall or incline, will be inserted, if not already inherent in the natural lay of the land, to enable water to run-off easily. This water can either be redirected as far away from your house as possible, or into purpose built drainage channels, installed in between the driveway and your dwelling.

The base onto which the pavers are laid is formed by shovelling sharp sand onto the firmly compacted type 1 sub-base.

All driveways in Poynton of over 5 square metres must allow water to run away to a suitable permeable area. If this can't be adhered to you'll need to apply for planning permission from the local council to install your drive. In order to avert localised flooding, any excess water from your driveway is not allowed to be redirected into the drainage system.

To ensure your new drive abides by the legal guidelines, a professional Poynton block paving installer will figure out your drainage needs as part of the installation process and take any measures that are necessary. They may need to excavate a soakaway area, add integrated drainage channels or install a permeable driveway, in order to accomplish this.

Additional drainage and design aspects may have to be considered if your home is within the defined limits of a conservation area. An established installation contractor will have the knowledge and experience to guide you through this process.

Block pavers come in an array of shapes, sizes and colours to suit any design of drive you have in mind. With anything from the commonly seen straight edged, oblong or square pavers, to the more ornamental, circular, s-shape, diamond and curved variations, you ought to be able to find the ideal style. You can match up your drive colours with your home's brickwork, or create an attractive feature with a completely different colour.

To create a more sympathetic and seamless entryway to older houses in Poynton, you may favour purchasing the traditional style block pavers, generally known as tumbled or tumble pavers.
