Banstead Block Paving Driveways
Block paving is an excellent choice for driveways due to its flexibility, decorative appeal, durability, non-slip properties, and minimal maintenance requirements. It is versatile and can be applied in various areas around your property. Explore a variety of driveway ideas, whether as a standout feature on your patio, providing a consistent look for pathways, or creating elegant edging for resin, tarmac, or gravel areas around your Banstead home.
A key advantage of block paving for driveways is its modular nature, allowing individual bricks to be easily lifted or replaced if damaged, eliminating the need for the entire driveway to be relaid.

Driveway Frequently Asked Questions
The cost of a driveway depends on three key factors:
- how much excavation/preparation is required
- the size of the driveway
- the surface finish
While low-cost options such as concrete might be initially appealing for a quick-fix, they have an industrial-looking finish and can be prone to cracking. A gravel driveway may be more affordable than you think and cost less than other options such as block-paving. Plus, because gravel driveways are permeable, you won’t get problem puddles. When you’re calculating the cost of a gravel driveway, consider any special features and additional landscaping you’d like to include to give your home a high-end finish. And don’t forget to think about the hidden costs of laying a driveway, such as factoring in how much it will cost to remove your existing driveway.
After severe flooding incidents in 2007, non-porous driveways were considered partly to blame for the volume of rainwater flowing into storm drains and overwhelming the system. New regulations came into force to reduce the issue in future. Today, non-permeable surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, and some block paved driveways may need planning permission.
Permeable driveway surfaces such as gravel do not contribute to flood water. However, although a new gravel driveway is unlikely to require planning permission, it’s prudent to check with your local authority. JFT Driveways gravel retention grids are fully permeable and SuDS-compliant. They sit beneath the gravel, helping to keep the stones in place while allowing rainwater to drain through a porous mesh backing.
The exterior and grounds of a property can add much to a home’s value. Choosing a driveway surface that creates an excellent first impression boosts a property’s kerb appeal and is a superb way to maximise any potential value gains. As a gravel driveway is synonymous with high end and prestigious homes, it’s an excellent option to consider when renovating a property, or preparing a property for a quick sale.
All driveway surfaces have pros and cons. Some, such as concrete, can be more problematic than others because it can become uneven, allowing puddles to form, and can also crack. Resin-bonded and resin-bound driveways have become popular but also have their drawbacks, with the traditional gravel driveway continuing to be top choice for most in terms of cost, appearance, maintenance and longevity.
The most beautiful driveways can be spoiled by unsightly weeds emerging through the surface. Gravelrings does not have or require a geotextile membrane attached to the base. Instead it has a free draining integral mesh base which prevents the build-up of silt, discouraging weed growth. However, there is little you can do about grass seeds that are blown on to the surface by the wind or dropped by birds or small mammals.
