Our Installation Process

At Mammoth Services, we follow industry best practices to ensure your block paving looks stunning and lasts for years to come. Here’s what to expect:

1. Site Survey & Assessment

We visit your property to understand the space, assess ground conditions, drainage requirements, and your vision. This helps us provide an accurate quote and identify any potential challenges.

2. Preparation & Ground Work

Proper preparation is crucial for longevity. We clear the area, excavate to the correct depth, and install a robust sub-base and bedding layer. Good foundations mean long-lasting results.

3. Block Paving Installation

Our skilled team carefully lays each block to the highest standards. We work methodically to achieve perfect alignment, level surfaces, and professional finishes. Precision is our priority.

4. Jointing & Finishing

We joint the blocks with kiln-dried sand or specialist mortar (depending on the application), sweep clean, and apply any sealers or finishes. The result is a polished, professional surface.

5. Final Inspection & Aftercare Advice

We thoroughly inspect the finished work and walk you through maintenance tips to keep your new paving looking fresh for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does block paving last?

With proper installation and basic maintenance, quality block paving can last 20-30 years or more. Some premium natural stone options last even longer. Unlike asphalt or concrete, individual blocks can be replaced if needed, extending the life of your paving indefinitely.

Can I park heavy vehicles on block paving?

Absolutely. Block paving is specifically designed to handle the weight of cars and even light commercial vehicles. Our installation process ensures a strong sub-base that distributes weight evenly, preventing sinking or damage.

Will weeds grow between the blocks?

With proper installation using kiln-dried sand or jointing mortar in the gaps, weeds are minimal. We recommend occasional sweeping and the occasional use of weedkiller if needed. Some customers prefer the rustic charm of a few plants between blocks!

Is block paving environmentally friendly?

Traditional block paving allows some water drainage, but our permeable block paving option is specifically designed for sustainability. It allows water to drain naturally, reducing flooding risk and supporting responsible stormwater management.

How do I maintain my block paving?

Block paving is wonderfully low-maintenance. Simply sweep regularly and give it a jet wash once or twice a year. Avoid pressure washing at very high pressure as this can damage the blocks. For stubborn stains, a mild detergent and soft brush works well.

What’s the best time of year to have block paving installed?

Spring through autumn is ideal, when the weather is drier and warmer. However, we can work year-round. Winter installations require extra care with ground conditions and frost protection, which we handle expertly.

Can you match my existing paving?

Possibly! If we can source the same block type and colour, we can extend or repair your existing paving. This is one of the great advantages of block paving. We’ll assess your current surface and advise on the best options.
