The replacement surface is tarmac with a raised block edging along with ACO drains along the whole of the one edge, which will eliminate the existing drainage problem.

Top paving ideas and tips:

(2 Nov 11) - For most people, the best part about deciding to lay block paving in their garden or driveway is the opportunity to pick out a unique colour that they feel fits their home. However, this task can also be challenging because sometimes there is no perfect answer although the aim is to match both the home, the lighting of the area, ones personal taste, and the environmental surroundings of the area that you are considering paving. The best way to start is by looking at your home, because this will be the item that draws the most contrast to the block paving area that you have in mind. After choosing a colour that will compliment your home without clashing too much, take a look at any surrounding environmental features such as vistas, urban sites, walls, and landscapes to make sure that it will fit in since it is usually impossible to change these factors to match the block paving you choose. Finally, if you are still confused drive around your neighbourhood and take a look at neighbours choices and decide which look good and which look horrible since this is the best way to see the final result before you start your project. ----------------------------------------------------------- (20 May 10) - If you have block paving as the surface type for your driveway or garden patio then to ensure it is amintained correctly it is best to clean every so often with a jet wash. This can also be used to remove any weeds that have grown between the blocks but once you have finished the best thing to do is cover the area with weed killer and then re-sand the area using SILVER sand as it is very fine will fill the gaps between the blocks and will help prevent the weeds from returning! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (5 Nov 09) Block paving makes many features in the garden stand out and also can enhance your home appearance by using different block and paving stones for your driveway. Why not try and add more detail to your driveway, pathway, steps or maybe even flower beds by using edgeding stone to create different shapes and textures. At Regency Drives we offer free quotes for block paving driveways. ------------------------------------------------------------ We have recently finished a large patio area and pathway that lead to the bottom of the garden. The surface used was block paving similar to that used on driveways but with a more 'rough' and old antique finish. The garden also had an existing fish pond and what we decided to do was to use the left over blocks to go around the pond, this turned out to be a very good idea as it bought the brand new patio area and existing garden together and also improved the look of the pond, aswell as not wasting any blocks. (5.10.09) ------------------------------------------------------------- Many customers are currently going for Tarmacadam as a driveway surface choice with a stone edging. The use of a raised block around the adge of the area means that it stops and soil or grass over spilling onto the driveway. Also a raised area for bedding plants can look very effective, especially if the same blocks that are used around the edge are used so that it all matches and gives a nice added feature. ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Concrete that features patterns is called pattern imprinted concrete. Its patterns can give off various effects. There are various kinds of imprinted pattern concrete that can even look like wood decking or wood panelling – ideal for patio surfaces. Chemical treatments on imprinted pattern concrete can seal the surface to prevent water damage and discolouration from the sun. This is particularly useful for concrete driveways that has different or unusual colours within it. However, because of the sealed nature of the surface, this action need only be performed years after the concrete has originally been laid – and only then if it is needed. Speaking of the sealed nature of this surface, drainage issues can often be overcome with retaining walls and the edging around the surface. Imprinted pattern concrete can mimic surfaces that it is in fact much stronger than. This is one of the beautiful things about it. It has a sophisticated strength when compared to – for example – paving stones, but it can actually be patterned in such a way as to achieve a paving stone effect. The many colours in which imprinted pattern concrete can be found also make it incredibly versatile. Whether you’re laying the surface for a driveways, patio, garden path or the section of a street, it can match the area where it is laid with great ease. It can match a section of cobblestone paving in another area of a garden, for example, while providing enough strength to hold the weight of large vehicles if necessary. It will require less maintenance than other kinds of surfaces because it is sealed by default: Paving stones and cobbles will always attract weeds between the cracks of the cobblestones. Tarmacadam, meanwhile, often has a moss problem. Using rotary technology and steam devices, imprinted pattern concrete can also very easily be cleaned of grease or oil or dirt of other kinds. - 22 September 2011.
