Driveways & Block Paving
Block paving driveways in Orpington & Bromley
A well-built block paving driveway lifts the whole front of your home and lasts for decades when it's laid properly. Prestige Landscapes has been installing block paving driveways across Orpington, Petts Wood and Bromley for over 25 years — on a full, correctly prepared sub-base, finished to a standard we guarantee.
Why block paving?
Block paving is tough, timeless and easy to repair. If a section is ever damaged you lift and relay the affected blocks rather than replacing the whole surface. It comes in a huge range of colours, shapes and laying patterns, so it suits everything from a period home to a modern new build. Laid on the right foundation, it will happily take the weight of family cars for many years.
Our driveway options
Concrete block paving
The most popular and cost-effective choice, in a wide range of colours and styles.
Clay pavers
A richer, longer-lasting colour that won't fade, for a premium finish.
Permeable block paving
Designed to drain through the surface, meeting current SUDS drainage rules and usually avoiding the need for planning permission.
Built on a proper base
Most driveway failures come from a poor foundation, not the blocks on top. We don't cut corners underground where you can't see it. Every driveway is excavated to the correct depth, laid with a compacted sub-base, edged and haunched securely, then finished with a laying course, the blocks and kiln-dried jointing sand. That is why ours last.

FAQs
Driveways & Block Paving: your questions answered
How much does a block paving driveway cost in the Orpington area?
As a guide, around £80 to £140 per m² fitted, so a typical front driveway often lands between roughly £3,000 and £8,000 depending on size, access and groundwork. We give you an exact price after a free site visit.
How long does it take to lay a block paving driveway?
Most domestic driveways take between three days and a week, depending on size, the amount of excavation and the weather. We give you a clear timescale with your quote.
Do I need planning permission for a block paving driveway?
Usually not, as long as the surface is permeable or drains to a permeable area such as a border or lawn. A non-permeable driveway over 5 m² that drains straight to the road does need permission. We build to the current SUDS rules as standard.
Do block paving driveways need much maintenance?
Very little. An occasional wash and topping up the jointing sand every few years keeps it looking its best. We can also seal it to help resist stains and weeds if you'd like.
Are you insured and is the work guaranteed?
