Block Paving in Ashford

Homes in Ashford

Ashford sits in the Spelthorne borough of Surrey, close to Heathrow, and its streets are mainly inter-war and later semi-detached and terraced houses. If you want to park at the front of a semi or terrace, the driveway goes in the front garden, so the planning rule on this page is worth reading before you settle on a size. Our photo shows a completed grey block paved driveway in front of a house, which gives a sense of a finished frontage. The review alongside mentions a team that started promptly and worked hard.

“I am very happy with my new block-paving driveway and have no hesitation in recommending M&R Property Services. The four-man team started the project promptly and worked hard to complete the job without delay. They were polite and cheerful throughout. Their expertise and skill in the design and construction of block-paving was evident at all times. On completion, the site was left in an immaculate condition. Above all, they were good value for money.”

What matters for block paving in Ashford

A new driveway larger than five square metres in a front garden needs planning permission, unless water can drain through the surface or onto a lawn or border next to it. If there is planting beside the area, tell us, because it affects how that rule applies. We then set out the layout around how many vehicles you need to park, your entrance and how the paving connects to the house.

  • Tell us whether the job is a driveway, patio or path, and roughly how big it is.
  • Say what currently covers the area and mention any access or parking issues.
  • Look through our gallery and pick the colours, pattern and border style you prefer.
  • Still deciding on a surface? Resin bound, tarmac, pattern concrete and natural stone driveways are also on our list.

Questions about block paving in Ashford

Will a new front driveway in Ashford need planning permission?

It depends on size and drainage. Over five square metres in a front garden, you need permission unless water can soak through the paving or drain to a lawn or border. Give us rough measurements and describe what surrounds the area so we can talk it through.

Can I pick the colour and pattern of the blocks?

Yes. Tell us the colours, patterns and border details you like. Examples from our gallery are a handy reference when you describe them.
