With various colours, patterns and sizes available, you can create the perfect driveway to complement your property.    Along with added style, block paving also had these benefits:

Edging keeps the driveway intact

When choosing a tarmac driveway, installing block paved edging is going to help keep your driveway in place. If no edging is installed to your tarmac drive,  over time the tarmac will crack and start to crumble, not only will this reduce the life of the driveway it will also be a haven for weeds growing in the cracks. Adding block paving edges will therefore add an element of style, and keep your driveway looking better, for longer. 

Adds value 

Adding edging, kerbs or block paved entrances to your home can also increase the value of your property, by giving it a more premium look. Though it may not be expensive to install, it can work to your advantage in the future, should you wish to sell the property. 

Easy parking 

Another overlooked advantage of adding edging with block paving is that it helps drivers navigate more comfortably when using the drive. The block paved edging or entrance allows the driver to differentiate from the tarmac and any grass etc a lot more comfortably, making it easier to park or turn the car.      With expert installation, creating your dream driveway couldn't be more simple.
