Services
Block Paving
Our block paving installations use premium materials with reinforced sub-base foundations to prevent cracking or subsidence. Each driveway incorporates effective drainage solutions and edge restraints for lasting durability. We offer extensive pattern and colour options to enhance property aesthetics while maintaining vehicle access functionality.
Tarmacadam Driveways
Professional tarmacadam installations provide cost-effective surfacing for large areas. We use modern synthetic binding materials to create durable surfaces resistant to vehicle wear. Available in black or red finishes, our tarmac solutions combine practicality with neat edging for both residential and commercial applications.
Natural Stone Patios
We create bespoke natural stone patios using Indian sandstone and other premium materials. Our designs accommodate various garden styles while ensuring non-slip surfaces and effective drainage. The stone options provide UV-resistant finishes that maintain their appearance through seasonal weather changes without significant maintenance.
Driveway Restoration
Our restoration service rejuvenates existing driveways through pressure cleaning, resealing, and structural repairs. We address issues like oil stains, weed growth, and surface deterioration while restoring original colour vibrancy. This extends the lifespan of block paving and pattern-imprinted concrete surfaces cost-effectively.
Garden Landscaping
Comprehensive garden landscaping covers soft and hard elements including decking, fencing, water features, and planting schemes. We develop custom designs from concept to completion, integrating irrigation systems and functional outdoor living areas that complement property architecture and client lifestyles.

Just had my drive block paved by these guys. They did an excellent job, turned up on time, very tidy, considerate to ourselves and our neighbours. I would definately recommend 1st Call Paving as a great company to use if you want your drive block paved.
