Block Paving Driveways for homes in Langold
Block paving is the traditional choice for a driveway and it is still hard to beat — it takes the weight, individual blocks can be lifted and replaced if something ever gets damaged, and there is a huge range of colours, sizes and laying patterns to work with. Herringbone, stretcher bond, basketweave, a soldier course border in a contrasting colour to frame the drive. We set out the pattern before we start laying so the lines run true against the house and the falls take water where it should go, then edge, compact and joint the whole thing properly so nothing creeps or settles unevenly later.
Working in Langold
Langold is a planned village north of Worksop, built in the twentieth century as housing for Firbeck colliery, and it has the consistency that comes with being laid out deliberately rather than growing piecemeal — regular streets, uniform plots, and the generous front and rear gardens characteristic of purpose-built pit housing. Langold Country Park and its lakes sit on the edge of the village, giving it a greener setting than many of the comparable settlements nearby. The regular plots make planning straightforward and the results consistent: frontages that take a full driveway with a proper border and turning space, and rear gardens with the length to carry a patio near the house, a defined grass or artificial grass area, and planting along the boundaries.
