Block Paving Driveways for homes in Mansfield Woodhouse
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 Mansfield Woodhouse
Mansfield Woodhouse sits directly north of Mansfield and retains a distinct identity from it, with an older village core around the church and market place — including some genuinely old stone property — surrounded by extensive inter-war and post-war housing and later estate development. The older stone buildings and walls at the centre are a real feature, and work near them benefits from natural stone finishes and matched walling rather than anything that reads as obviously modern. The wider estate housing is where most of the outdoor work happens: wide frontages suited to full driveways, and rear gardens long enough to divide into a patio, a grass or artificial grass area and a border. Ground falls away toward the Meden valley in places, bringing retaining and steps into play.
