Choose your surface
Seven ways to finish a drive, path or patio. Pick one to see what it looks like and where it works best.
Block paving
Individual concrete or clay blocks laid on a compacted base and locked together with kiln-dried sand. It is the classic British driveway: strong, repairable and available in a wide range of colours and laying patterns.
Best for
- Driveways that take daily car traffic
- Borders and edging around other surfaces
- Homes that want a traditional look
Good to know: Herringbone is the strongest pattern for cars. If a block is ever damaged, it can be lifted and replaced on its own.

Natural aggregate mixed with clear resin and trowelled to a smooth, seamless finish. Water drains straight through, and there are no loose stones to scatter.
Best for
- Front drives where drainage rules matter
- Modern homes with clean lines
- Paths, ramps and step-free access
Good to know: Resin needs a solid, porous base underneath. Laying it over a cracked or failing surface usually means the cracks come back through.

Natural riven stone in warm buffs, greys and browns, laid in mixed sizes on a full mortar bed. Every slab is slightly different, which gives a patio real character.
Best for
- Patios and garden terraces
- Period homes and country gardens
- Paths that should feel natural
Good to know: Sandstone is porous, so a good sealer and an occasional clean keep it looking its best.

Outdoor-grade porcelain slabs: dense, very hard-wearing and almost non-porous. The finish is crisp and contemporary, and the slabs come in looks from concrete to timber to stone.
Best for
- Modern patios and kitchen-to-garden flow
- Areas used for dining and entertaining
- Low-maintenance gardens
Good to know: Porcelain needs a specialist slurry primer and careful cutting. It is less forgiving to lay than stone, but very easy to live with.

A hot-laid asphalt surface, rolled smooth and finished with a defined edge. It is practical and quick to install, and it handles heavy use well.
Best for
- Long or wide driveways on a budget
- Rural and farm-style entrances
- Shared or heavily used access
Good to know: A crisp block or kerb edge makes a tarmac drive look finished and stops the edges from crumbling.

Loose decorative stone laid over a stable, well-compacted base, ideally with a stabilising grid so it doesn't rut. It is permeable, affordable and suits a softer, more natural look.
Best for
- Period and rural properties
- Large areas where cost matters
- Gardens that need good drainage
Good to know: A gravel grid and solid edging are what separate a good gravel drive from one that spreads onto the lawn.

Concrete laid as one slab, then coloured and stamped with a pattern while it is still wet. It gives the look of paving with no joints for weeds to grow through.
Best for
- Driveways where weeds have been a problem
- Large areas in one continuous finish
- Paths and patios
Good to know: It needs resealing every few years to keep the colour, and the control joints have to be planned so it can move without cracking.
