Grey herringbone block-paved driveway — Sunningdale

Herringbone blocksBorder coursesInstallation stages

We laid this driveway in grey concrete blocks, using a 90-degree herringbone pattern across the main area and straight border courses along the edges. The layout continues towards the house and side access, with the blocks cut to meet the boundaries and the changes in width.

This set follows the work from the prepared aggregate base through the sand laying course to the laid paving. The progress views give a closer look at the setting out, edge cuts and sections as they went down. The finished driveway view brings those stages together and shows the contrast between the patterned centre and its straight borders.

About this kind of project

Concrete block paving in a herringbone pattern is a practical choice for areas where cars turn as well as park. The alternating directions help the blocks work together, while secure edge restraints contain the paved surface. The pattern is only one part of the construction: a properly prepared sub-base, an even laying course and filled joints all contribute to stability. Grey blocks can be framed with a different border tone or arrangement without changing the main material. Setting out the layout early helps avoid small cuts beside the house. Rainwater management must be designed around the whole driveway, including its lowest points.
