Block Paved Granite Driveway Transformation in Barnsley
This week, we completed a stunning block paved granite driveway and side path transformation for a semi-detached property in Barnsley. The project involved removing the old, worn-out paving and replacing it with a durable and visually appealing granite block design. The result not only improves the aesthetic appeal of the property but also enhances functionality and ease of maintenance.Project Details

Project Details
- Initial Assessment and Demolition: The project began with an evaluation of the existing driveway and side pathway, which were in a state of disrepair. The original surface consisted of uneven and damaged block paving, with overgrown weeds and sections of cracked concrete. These issues were compromising the appearance and usability of the space. Our team cleared the area, removing all old materials and ensuring a clean, level surface for the new installation.
- Ground Preparation: To ensure longevity and stability, we excavated the area to the required depth and installed a compacted hardcore base. A layer of sharp sand was evenly distributed and compacted to create the ideal foundation for the block paving.
- Drainage System Installation: Proper drainage is critical for preventing water accumulation. A high-quality linear drainage system was installed along the side pathway, ensuring efficient water runoff and protecting the foundation from potential water damage.
- Block Paving Installation:
The driveway and pathway were laid using premium-grade granite blocks in a herringbone pattern. The sleek, dark tones of the granite complemented the property’s modern aesthetic, while the intricate pattern added an element of sophistication.
- Borders: Contrasting block borders were meticulously added to define the edges and enhance the overall visual appeal.
- Attention to Detail: Every block was carefully positioned and cut to fit seamlessly around corners, drains, and gateposts.
- Finishing Touches: After laying the blocks, kiln-dried sand was brushed into the joints to lock the paving securely in place. The surface was compacted to ensure a smooth, level finish.
- Clean-Up and Presentation: The site was thoroughly cleaned, leaving the driveway and pathway spotless and ready for use. The final result showcases a sleek, modern driveway that significantly elevates the property’s curb appeal.
