Driveway Installers in Malvern Link: Block Paving and Resin

Front gardens and driveways here are often tight, so careful planning of edging, drainage and access matters as much as the surface itself. We install block paving and resin driveways, and repair existing ones, covering Malvern Link and the villages around it including Great Malvern, Leigh Sinton and Rushwick.

Choosing between block paving and resin on a tight front

Block paving suits a small frontage because it can be laid in patterns, cut neatly around drain covers and bay window footings, and lifted and relaid if a service pipe ever needs reaching. Resin gives a smooth, joint-free finish that looks tidy on a compact space, but it needs a sound, properly drained base to stay stable.

Which one fits depends on the shape of the plot, how much water needs to go somewhere, and how you use the space day to day. We talk this through on site rather than from a brochure.

• Block paving: strong choice where you want a traditional look, easy repairs and a choice of colours and patterns
• Resin: suits curved or awkwardly shaped fronts and gives a seamless surface
• Both can be permeable, which helps with drainage and with front garden paving rules
• Neither works well over a weak or poorly compacted base

Groundwork, edging and repairs

On a small drive the groundwork decides how long the surface lasts. We dig out to the right depth, build a compacted sub-base, set falls so water runs away from the house and off the pavement, and fit edge restraints so the surface cannot spread.

If your existing drive has sunk, stained or lost its joint sand, a repair or partial relay may be enough. We assess it during a free site visit and tell you plainly whether patching will hold.
