Block Paving in Cheltenham

Why Homeowners Are Choosing Block Paving & More for Outdoor Projects
When it comes to enhancing the exterior of your property, first impressions matter – and in Cheltenham, more and more homeowners are turning to trusted paving contractors to upgrade their outdoor spaces. Whether it’s stylish resin driveways, neat block paving, or seamless patio installations, these surface solutions offer both beauty and functionality. Add in the practicality of tarmac driveways, and it’s easy to see why hard landscaping is in high demand across the region.
So, what exactly makes these options so popular? Let’s investigate what’s driving this trend and why a well-chosen surface can add value, convenience, and lasting style to your home.

Kerb Appeal That Lasts
A fresh, professionally installed driveway or patio instantly lifts the look of your property. It’s one of the easiest ways to improve kerb appeal and boost your home’s market value. For this reason, many local homeowners are contacting B J Surfacing for advice on the best materials and designs to suit their properties.
Among the most popular choices are resin surfaces, which offer a smooth, modern finish and excellent durability. Meanwhile, brick paving remains a timeless option thanks to its flexibility in pattern and colour. Whether for driveways or patio installations, it complements everything from traditional Cotswold stone cottages to contemporary townhouses.
Designed for Everyday Living
Today’s surfaces need to look good and perform well. Our clients want low-maintenance, weather-resistant solutions that withstand foot traffic, vehicle use, and the British climate.
This is where tarmac driveways continue to shine. Known for their strength and practicality, tarmac surfaces are ideal for busy family homes, offering a reliable, cost-effective finish that’s quick to install. On the other hand, resin provides a porous surface that prevents pooling, making it ideal for properties in areas with poor drainage or sloped access.
Transforming Garden Spaces
It’s not just about driveways. Outdoor living has become a major trend in Cheltenham over the past few years, with more homeowners investing in their gardens. Well-designed patio installations are in high demand for entertaining guests or enjoying quiet morning coffee.
Brick and natural stone are popular patio materials due to their slip resistance and aesthetic versatility. We can create a custom layout with matching steps, paths, or garden edging for a cohesive finish.
And with options like tarmac surfaces providing a sleek, fuss-free entrance, the whole property can feel more connected and polished.

Local Knowledge Matters
Working with our local paving contractors makes a big difference when investing in any outdoor surfacing project. Cheltenham’s period properties, variable ground conditions, and planning requirements mean experience and regional know-how are crucial.
Our team will guide you through the best surface solutions for your home, advising on drainage for resin driveways, recommending patterns for brick paving, or ensuring patio installations are perfectly level and ready for garden furniture. We also understand the latest council regulations – particularly if you’re considering access improvements like tarmac driveways or dropped kerbs.

Built to Last
Durability is a key factor for homeowners making upgrades. Nobody wants to deal with cracks, shifting, or drainage issues a year or two after installation. That’s why our clients are increasingly prioritising quality workmanship and proven materials.
Resin surfaces offer excellent longevity with little maintenance, while tarmac is proven to handle the heaviest of loads. Meanwhile, block paving has the added benefit of being easily repaired – individual blocks can be lifted and replaced if damaged. With our professional team on the job, these surfaces can easily last 15–20 years or more.
Let’s not forget patios! Professionally installed patios extend your living space and remain in great condition throughout the seasons, giving you a functional and attractive space year-round.
