Block Paving Edging
In short, block paving edging serves both functional and decorative purposes. Ultimately, it provides a neat boundary and helps to protect the arrangement of paving blocks. At Lakeside Surfacing, we offer a range of block paving edging options to enhance the overall durability and appearance of your paved areas.
Maintenance and Care
To help maintain the impressive look and feel of your block paved driveway, regular but easy upkeep is crucial. This includes:
- Cleaning
Over the course of time, block paving can accumulate dirt, moss, and algae. By applying a block paving cleaner, you can easily combat the effects of these blemishes as well as remove any unsightly stains and biological growth. In particular, products like Bostik Cementone Brick & Patio Cleaner will help to make light work of your block paving maintenance. - Sealing
Applying a block paving sealer will help to protect the surface from stains whilst at the same time enhancing the colour and reducing weed growth. Sealants also act as a barrier against oil, fuel, and dirt stains, ultimately helping to prolong the lifespan of your paving by fighting against the common causes of blemishes. - Sanding
Keeping on top of the joints with sand or kiln-dried sand helps to stabilise the blocks and prevents weed infestation. Altogether, ensuring joints are appropriately filled with sand for block paving is crucial for maintaining structural integrity.
How Much Does Block Paving Cost?
Just as the size and shape of outdoor spaces vary, so too does the cost of block paving. Key considerations to keep in mind ahead of getting a quote from our team are:
- The materials you plan to use: Concrete blocks are generally more affordable, while natural stone or composite blocks are priced up at the higher end of the spectrum.
- The size of the area you want to feature block paving: Larger areas will typically incur higher costs due to the increased material and labour requirements.
- The complexity of your project: Intricate patterns and custom designs may elevate the overall cost of your block paving.
