We are Nice & Tidy Landscaping, a family-run paving and landscaping business based in Failsworth. We lay block paving driveways, paths and patios for homeowners in Middleton and across Greater Manchester.

A block drive is only as good as what sits under it. We dig out to the right depth, build and compact a stone sub-base, set firm edge courses and plan the falls so rainwater drains away from the house.

Benefits of Block Paving in Middleton

Strong under cars

Interlocking blocks on a compacted base spread the load of vehicles well when laid correctly.

Easy to repair

A stained or damaged block can be lifted and replaced without breaking out the whole drive.

Plenty of choice

Different colours, sizes and laying patterns let the drive suit the age and style of the house.

Smart kerb appeal

A crisp block drive with neat borders makes a clear difference to the front of a property.

What's included

Block Paving is a Great Choice for Middleton Driveways

How we carry out the work

How We Lay a Block Paving Driveway

No pressure at any stage, and nothing is booked until you have the price in writing.

Dig out

We remove the old surface and excavate to the depth the drive needs, taking the spoil away.

Sub-base

A layer of crushed stone goes down and is compacted in stages to give a firm, even base.

Edges and bedding

Edge courses are set in concrete, then a screeded sand bed is laid to the planned falls.

Lay and finish

Blocks are laid in your chosen pattern, cut neatly, compacted and kiln-dried sand is brushed into the joints.

Good to know

Block Paving Questions from Middleton Homeowners

Will weeds grow through block paving?

Some seeds can settle in the joints over time, but a compacted base and well-filled, kiln-dried sand joints keep it to a minimum. An occasional brush and re-sand keeps the drive looking tidy.

How long does a block paving drive take?

It depends on the size and how much digging out is needed. A typical front drive usually takes several days, and we will give you a realistic idea when we quote.

Can I drive on it straight away?

Once the blocks are laid, compacted and the joints filled, the drive can normally be used. We will let you know if anything needs time to set, such as concrete haunching on the edges.
