 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Luke and his team have transformed our old tarmac driveway , which had collapsed in places, and mossy bit of lawn, into a spacious new gravel driveway 'the beach!' We are extremely pleased with the end result. Luke and his team were so professional, hard working and easy to deal with. We wouldn't hesitate in using again and recommending. The team took great care with all the detailed work such as the kerbing and retaining wall to give a great finish. Communication was great from the initial contact and throughout the works. We were kept up-to-date with progress and consulted with on particular issues. The team had quite a bit of 'weather' to contend with too, some of which was pretty extreme even by Crowborough standards! Thanks very much guys for all your hard work :-)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Luke and his team have transformed our garden and driveway. They work so hard, in difficult conditions over the winter months, to get the job done. The quality of their workmanship is second to none. Luke and his team are reliable and very trustworthy. Our project involved removing tonnes of soil from the garden and drive, building a retaining wall, laying an Indian sandstone patio, fitting a new garden gate and laying a resin driveway.  We have no hesitation in recommending them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Stanbridge surfacing enough. From quote to finish highly professional, friendly service. I got my quote on Wednesday, work began on Thursday and by the following Tuesday all work was completed by 9.30am! If it wasn’t bank holiday Monday I should imagine they would have completed it in 3 days. Incredible team everyone who came to my property was so hardworking, respectful and very tidy I was impressed at how quickly the work was finished. Fortunately for me one of their big jobs was waterlogged so they managed to squeeze me in whilst waiting for it to dry out. Every evening luke messaged me letting me know what time to expect them in the morning which was most helpful. I honestly cannot find any faults at all they were so considerate to my neighbours moving the vans and lorries if people couldn’t get past. Thank you so much once again I will always recommend yourselves and use you for any future works.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a driveway installed by Luke and his team earlier in the summer, communication from the point of contact to quotation through to completion was always excellent. We are really happy with the finished product and Luke’s team worked hard in the stifling heat to keep project on track with minimal mess and disruption to neighbour’s. We would highly recommend their workmanship and approach.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had luke come round several times to give us options on our drive way. He was very informative, helpful, gave us loads of options and not pushy at all.

His chaps were all very kind, approachable, attentive and friendly.  Especially to my forever chatting 4 year old who watched them constantly.

The end product is brilliant, they did a great job and we're very happy.

Thanks guys! ????

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having recently used the Stanbridge team to resurface a drive and re-align a path, I could not recommend them more highly.  Initial quote was accurate and consistent, and the work was completed in less than 2 days.  The team were keen to communicate to iron out minor queries; they worked hard and quickly and took great care to clean up the site as they went along.  We are delighted with the result; great value for money, and we would certainly use them for any future work.

Why Block Paving in Kent is a Smart Choice

Block paving can be a practical choice for Kent homeowners who want a driveway that can be tailored to the property, parking requirements and preferred finish.

Choice of design – Select from different block shapes, sizes, colours, laying patterns and contrasting borders to create a driveway that suits your home.
Suitable for regular vehicle use – With suitable preparation and installation, block paving can be used for household vehicles, parking areas and access routes.
A defined, finished appearance – Borders, edging and laying patterns can help create a neat transition between the driveway, paths, lawns and planting areas.
Repairable surface – If an individual block becomes damaged or stained, it can often be lifted and replaced without removing the whole driveway.
Drainage considerations – We assess levels and surface-water run-off as part of the driveway design, then recommend suitable drainage arrangements for the site.

Choosing a Block Paving Driveway in Kent

Block paving gives you flexibility to create a driveway that works for the layout of your property as well as its appearance. Before work begins, we can discuss the number of vehicles using the space, access to garages or entrances, parking arrangements, preferred colours and the style of surrounding paths or walls.

A single paving colour with a contrasting border can provide a simple, traditional appearance. Different laying patterns, entrance details and defined parking areas can be used on larger or more complex driveways.

We will also consider practical details such as the existing ground level, drainage and the condition of the current driveway, so the proposed design is suitable for the site.

Our Block Paving Driveway Installation Process

A block paving driveway relies on suitable preparation beneath the finished surface. Before work begins, we assess the existing area, access, levels and drainage requirements, then explain what is included in your quotation.

The work required will vary by site, but a typical block paving driveway installation may include:

Removing the existing driveway surface where necessary.
Excavating and preparing the area to the appropriate level.
Installing a suitable sub-base to support the driveway.
Adding edging, kerbs or drainage features where required.
Laying the selected paving blocks in the agreed pattern.
Finishing the driveway and leaving the area tidy on completion.

The exact method depends on the property and driveway design. We will discuss this during your free site survey.
