    Project Overview

    This homeowner contacted us looking to completely transform their rear driveway and patio area. The existing surface was in poor condition and causing drainage issues, making it both unsightly and problematic for daily use.

    They wanted a durable, attractive solution that would provide ample parking space and create a usable outdoor area for their family. The large 80m² space required careful planning to ensure proper drainage and a flawless finish.

    The Challenge

    This project presented several considerations:

    • Remove the old driveway which had underlying structural issues
    • Address existing drainage problems discovered during excavation
    • Create a level, expansive surface across a large 80m² area
    • Include side access pathway with matching materials
    • Ensure clean lines and professional finish around property boundaries
    • Complete the work efficiently to minimize disruption

    Our Solution

    We recommended silver block paving for its contemporary appearance and excellent durability. This light grey paving offers a modern, clean aesthetic that brightens the space while being robust enough for regular vehicle use.

    Charcoal borders were incorporated throughout to define the edges and create visual interest across the large expanse. The contrast between the silver main paving and dark borders gives the area a premium, designed look.

    Materials Used

    • Main Paving: Silver Block Paving (approximately 80m²)
    • Border: Charcoal Border Blocks
    • Sub-Base: MOT Type 1 Hardcore
    • Bedding: Sharp Sand
    • Jointing: Kiln-Dried Sand
    • Edge Restraints: Concrete Haunching

    Special Features

    • Problem Solving: Existing drainage issues identified and resolved during installation

      Project Timeline

      How we completed this transformation

      1
      The team removed the old driveway surface, immediately discovering underlying issues with the previous installation. We excavated to proper depth, addressing the drainage problems that had been causing issues. MOT Type 1 hardcore was delivered and compacted in layers to create a solid, properly graded foundation. Concrete edge restraints were installed around the perimeter. Despite the unexpected complications, the team worked diligently to stay on schedule.
      2
      Sharp sand bedding was screeded across the prepared base. Block laying began across the main area, with the silver paving laid in a uniform pattern and charcoal borders positioned for maximum visual impact. The side access pathway was completed with matching materials. All blocks were cut precisely to fit around boundaries. Jointing sand was applied and the entire surface compacted to lock everything in place. Final cleanup completed, leaving the property immaculate.

The side access pathway seamlessly integrates with the main area, creating a cohesive, professional finish throughout. Most importantly, the underlying drainage issues have been permanently resolved, ensuring this beautiful surface will remain problem-free for decades to come. The homeowner now has a durable, attractive outdoor space that has truly transformed their home.

      Absolutely incredible standard of work from Ted and the team, that has transformed our home. From the initial consultation, we were treated respectfully and professionally and given a realistic timescale and cost for the work. The team worked diligently during the whole project, and even when there were complications due to existing issues with the previous driveway, Ted was completely transparent with the solutions, which were included into the project at an incredibly reasonable rate. The whole project was completed in a very time efficient manner, and we were consulted throughout and given regular progress updates. There is no other firm that I would consider using for a project of this magnitude in future, and I am more than happy with the service that I have received and the standard of the work delivered. I would happily recommend Maughan Construction to anyone. The standard of work and customer service are simply first class.
