What Is The Right Colour Block Paving For Your Drive?

Block paving driveways have many great benefits. They create a very durable surface that can withstand a lot of usage, making them ideal for multi-car households. They are easily maintained and have strong aesthetic qualities.

It is true there can be downsides, such as water seepage and puddling caused by gaps between the blocks, or uneven surfaces developing, but these are dependent on the standard of installation. If they are fitted properly on a firm base, you should avoid these problems.

If a well-installed block driveway can be a great asset, the question is how you can make the most of its aesthetic potential. There are many choices of design for a driveway, featuring a broad range of colours. You may well ask: which one would suit a typical house with a driveway in a town like Telford?

As a new town with some old parts, Telford can offer a few possibilities if you want the surface to blend in with the local architecture. Alongside historic structures like Iron Bridge and the 18th century Madeley Church, there are a lot of modern buildings dating from the 1960s onwards.

Ultimately, however, this is a town where, like so many in the midlands, red brick dominates. That might make it a clear choice if you want to match the local décor and building materials, much as a blonde sandstone colour might match the local dominant building material somewhere like Bath or anywhere in the central belt of Scotland.

However, you might also consider other elements of the vicinity. For example, if you have a stone wall, you could match this colour with a grey shade. And if you have painted part of your home a particular colour this could also match, for instance, buff coloured blocks to match yellow.

Our own range offers all these shades and more, providing you with plenty of choice. Indeed, you may decide that blending in is the last thing you want the driveway to do and pick a shade that stands out. Whatever you want, we have the colour option for you.
