Argent Paving Project in Watford

Why did the client contact us?

The client in Watford wanted us to enhance the kerb appeal of their property with a new driveway. They wanted a solution that looked good but practical and durable to turn their existing driveway into a modern feature. We discussed the options and recommended block paving for its versatility and flexibility.

Block paving comes in many colours and patterns so the homeowner in Watford could create a driveway to match their property. They chose a grey colour with a white border, a lovely welcoming and sophisticated entrance. This bespoke design using Argent blocks from Marshalls added character and made the property look so much better.

One of the big advantages of block paving is its low maintenance. Individual blocks can be replaced if damaged, so it’s long-lasting and cost-effective. It’s also frost and UV-resistant. The gaps between the blocks allow for drainage, so no water accumulation on the surface.

Also, the interlocking blocks provide great strength and can withstand heavy traffic. Although the initial cost is slightly higher, the durability and low maintenance make block paving a good long-term investment. A well-installed block-paved driveway also adds value to the property,.

What work was done?

Our team at Pavecraft started by excavating and preparing the ground, making sure the base was solid for the new driveway. Proper ground preparation is key to prevent shifting and ensure the longevity of the installation. This involved removing the old driveway, levelling the area and creating a stable sub-base.

We then laid the block paving in the clients chosen pattern and colours. The result was a beautiful and durable driveway that exceeded their expectations.
