Our Brick Paving Installation Process
At BJ Surfacing, quality matters. That’s why every hard landscaping installation follows a detailed step-by-step process to ensure durability, safety and a beautiful result.
Consultation & Site Survey
We begin by assessing your outdoor space and discussing design options. You’ll receive a clear, itemised quote and timeline for the work.
Excavation & Base Layer
We excavate the area to the appropriate depth and install a compacted hardcore base, the key to long-lasting results.
Edging & Bedding Layer
Concrete edging blocks are laid for structural support, and a sharp sand bed is prepared to receive the paving blocks.
Laying the Paving
We carefully lay your chosen block pattern, from traditional to modern styles, ensuring clean lines and symmetry.
Compaction & Jointing
Once laid, the surface is compacted using a vibrating plate and kiln-dried sand is brushed into the joints to lock everything in place.
Final Inspection & Aftercare Advice
We carry out a thorough check, clean the area, and offer tips on how to keep your block paving looking its best for years to come.
Maintenance Advice From Our Experts
Maintaining a brick paving driveway is simple and helps keep it looking its best for years. We recommend regularly sweeping the surface to remove leaves, debris, and dirt, which can encourage weed growth or staining. Every so often, wash the surface with a pressure washer on a gentle setting to lift grime and freshen the blocks. Don’t use a high-pressure setting, as this can damage the surface.
After cleaning, re-sand the joints using kiln-dried sand to maintain stability and prevent movement. For added protection, you can apply a specialist sealant every few years to enhance colour, repel water and reduce weed growth, keeping your driveway in excellent condition long-term.
The team at BJ Surfacing is available to complete these repairs and maintenance services for our residential and commercial clients across Cheltenham, Bishops Cleeve, Gloucester, and the surrounding areas.
