Overview
Block Paving in Guildford
Block paving is one of the most popular driveway surfaces in Guildford, and for good reason: it's durable, comes in a huge range of colours and patterns, and if a block ever cracks or stains, it can be lifted and replaced individually rather than resurfacing the whole drive. Hills Driveways & Patios lays every block paving driveway on a properly compacted sub-base with correct drainage, so it stays flat and doesn't sink or spread over time.
We're Checkatrade-approved driveway installers, and one team handles your project from the first site visit to the final clean-down.

What Our Guildford Customers Say
Colours, Patterns and Styles
Block paving comes in a wide range of colours, from traditional buff and charcoal to mixed-tone blends, and can be laid in patterns such as herringbone, basketweave or stretcher bond. Herringbone is generally the strongest pattern for driveways since it locks together well under the weight of vehicles, but we'll talk through the options that suit your Guildford property and how you plan to use the space.
If you'd rather compare block paving against other surfaces first, take a look at our full range of driveway options, including resin bound driveways and gravel driveways.
Cost
How Much Does a Block Paving Driveway Cost in Guildford?
The cost of a block paving driveway depends on several factors:
- The size of the area being paved
- How much excavation and sub-base work is needed
- The pattern and colour you choose
- How easy the site is to access
A small, straightforward drive will cost less than a large area with a complex pattern or difficult access.
Because of this, we don't quote over the phone. We visit your Guildford property, assess the site, and give you a written, itemised quote so you know exactly what you're paying for before any work starts.
