Block Paving in Farnham, Aldershot and the Surrounding North Hampshire, Surrey and Sussex Areas
First impressions count and if you want your property to stand out from others, we can’t think of a better material choice than block paving. As the perfect surfacing option for new driveways, garden patios, garden paving and a variety of commercial applications including pedestrianised areas, this is one of the UK’s favourite decorative materials with installers and customers alike. The biggest benefit of using pavers is the ease of uplifting them if units become damaged or if contractors need to access underground utilities.
R&J Garden Landscapes, the dependable landscaping company that works as a partnership for and with its customers, can undertake block paving installations in all North Hampshire, Surrey and Sussex areas including the key location of Alton and the surrounding towns of Aldershot and Farnham.
Block paving consists of clay or concrete, often mixed with composites such as crush glass or hardcore. Because of their porosity, concrete pavers tend to be a more popular choice. The design of individual units allows for stunning laying patterns, including the most common herringbone style because this type of bond optimises interlocking pavers to form the strongest surface.

The Benefits of Block Paving
Although costs will be a little higher with a block paving installation, there are significant benefits for our customers to enjoy. With a longer-than-average expected lifespan and only the minimum of maintenance needed to protect their condition, pavers are what we consider to be a value-added choice. The initial installation cost might be a little more expensive but, by choosing professional contractors, you are always assured of a surface that will last.
The individual benefits of block paving include:
- Enhanced kerb appeal and an increase in property resale value
- An attractive selection of styles and shades in a choice of sizes
- Countless laying permutations and full design flexibility
- Interlocking design to increase strength and load-bearing weights
- Low repair and replacement costs through single unit uplifting
- Minimal drainage modifications through permeability and porosity
- High resistance to fading, and to decolourisation from oils and salts
R&J Garden Landscapes has already completed hundreds of block paving installation projects to a professional standard for a diverse client portfolio.
Block Paving Installations
Installations in Alton, Aldershot, Farnham and the surrounding areas begin with site preparation, bulk excavation to a specified depth and the use of premium aggregates and sands to construct a sub-base. We edge the workspace to create a framework for the pavers and always compact the sub-base in stages to form a solid foundation. Our installers add a layer of sharp sand prior to laying block paving and use string lines as levelling guides.
Next, we lay the pavers in the pattern we have specified. Because individual units can have subtle variations in tone even when working with the same shades, R&J Garden Landscapes uses blocks from multiple packs to keep the appearance consistent and to avoid unusual patches of colour.
After laying the pavers, we brush in kiln-dried sand to fill the joints, compact the surface to strengthen the interlocking and seal the pavers for protection.
We always recommend that you have block paving installed by professional contractors with a proven track record for balancing quality and price. In this respect, R&J Garden Landscapes is one of the most reputable and reliable companies of its kind, anywhere in North Hampshire, Surrey or Sussex.
