At Gardiners Reclaims, our block paving range offers a versatile, long-lasting solution for driveways, patios, paths and outdoor spaces. Whether you’re creating a classic driveway, defining garden areas or adding character to walkways, block paving delivers strength, design flexibility and kerb appeal that stands the test of time.
Block paving consists of individual paving blocks or pavers, typically made from concrete or reclaimed clay, laid in interlocking patterns. This modular system creates durable surfaces that outperform many traditional paving materials in terms of longevity, strength and versatility.
Each block sits against its neighbour, forming a stable surface that can cope with regular footfall and vehicular loads, making it suitable for everything from garden paths to driveways.
Outstanding Durability & Strength
Block paving is known for its long-lasting performance. Laid correctly on a prepared base, it provides a robust surface that withstands heavy use and UK weather conditions, ideal for driveways, patios, and high-traffic areas.
Versatile Design Options
With a wide range of colours, shapes and patterns available, block paving can be tailored to suit traditional homes or contemporary landscapes. Popular laying patterns like herringbone and basketweave allow you to create distinctive designs that complement your outdoor space.
Ease of Repair & Maintenance
Because each block is individual, replacing a damaged unit is simple and cost-effective, unlike monolithic surfaces, where large sections may need resurfacing. Regular sweeping and occasional re-sanding of joints helps keep your block-paved area looking great for years.
Enhanced Property Appeal
Well-installed block paving enhances kerb appeal and can improve the overall aesthetic and value of your property. From classic clay block pavers to reclaimed options with unique character, there’s a style to suit every taste.
Block paving is incredibly versatile and can be used across many outdoor applications, including:
✔️ Driveways & vehicle access areas
✔️ Garden patios and seating spaces
✔️ Pathways and walkways
✔️ Courtyards and terraces
✔️ Feature edging and decorative details
Its strength and adaptability make block paving a popular choice for residential and commercial landscaping alike.
At Gardiners Reclaims, you’ll find a range of both new and reclaimed block pavers, including classic clay and concrete options. Reclaimed block paving adds character and a more traditional look, ideal for heritage projects or garden designs with a rustic feel.
Whether you’re planning a complete driveway overhaul or adding a pathway through your garden, our block paving products give you the flexibility and durability you need, backed by excellent value and quality you can trust.
Q: How much block paving do I need per square metre?
A: A standard 200mm x 100mm block works out at 50 blocks per square metre. Use our calculator for an exact figure from your measurements, and add 5 to 10 percent for cuts, especially with herringbone patterns.
Q: Is block paving suitable for driveways?
A: Yes, it’s one of the most popular driveway surfaces in the UK. Laid on a properly prepared sub-base, block paving handles vehicle loads comfortably, and individual blocks can be lifted and replaced if ever damaged.
Q: Do you sell reclaimed block paving?
A: We do. Reclaimed clay block pavers bring weathered character that suits older properties and heritage projects, and we stock them alongside new concrete blocks so you can compare both.
