Our team at Shire Driveways and Patios Leicester recently completed a stunning Sorrento block paving installation for a homeowner in Leicester.
The project involved transforming the front of the house, the garage entrance, and the driveway with high-quality Sorrento block paving.
The client wanted a stylish, durable, and low-maintenance solution that would improve the look of their property while providing a strong and reliable surface for parking.
Challenges & Requirements
- The existing driveway surface was uneven and had areas of wear and tear.
- The client wanted a seamless design that flowed from the driveway to the garage and front of the house.
- Drainage was a key consideration to prevent water pooling.
The Installation Process
- Ground Preparation: We started by excavating the old surface and ensuring the ground was level. A solid sub-base was laid to provide a strong foundation.
- Edging and Borders: We installed edge restraints to keep the block paving secure and maintain a neat finish.
- Laying the Sorrento Block Paving: Using a mix of colours to create a modern, elegant look, we carefully placed the blocks in a precise pattern.
- Compaction and Finishing Touches: The blocks were compacted to ensure a firm, stable surface. We applied kiln-dried sand and sealed the driveway for added durability.
- Drainage Considerations: We installed appropriate drainage channels to prevent water build-up and ensure long-term performance.
The Result
The transformation was impressive! The Sorrento block paving created a sophisticated and seamless look, enhancing the property’s appearance. The new driveway is not only visually appealing but also highly practical, providing a durable and weather-resistant surface that will last for years.
