Block Paving Driveways for homes in Rossington
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 Rossington
Rossington sits south-east of Doncaster and was built substantially as a colliery village, which shows clearly in the housing — planned rows of brick terraces and semis on regular plots, laid out with the generous front and rear gardens typical of purpose-built pit housing, alongside a considerable amount of newer development that has expanded the village. Those regular plots are straightforward to work with and often larger than they first appear: enough frontage for a full driveway with a turning area, and rear gardens long enough to split into a patio near the house and a separate lawn or artificial grass area beyond. The ground here is generally flatter than the Derbyshire towns to the west, so falls and drainage need setting out deliberately rather than relying on any natural gradient.
