About Heritage Paving

Block Paving
Specialists Since 2014

Block paving is not just for driveways. As a patio surface, it offers something that porcelain and natural stone cannot: unlimited creative freedom, exceptional drainage between the blocks, and the practical advantage that any damaged block can be lifted and replaced without disturbing the rest.

At Heritage Paving we design and install block paved patios that work specifically as outdoor living spaces. Patio block paving is specified differently from driveway block paving, with more freedom for decorative elements, gentler curves, integrated planting pockets and feature patterns that would be impractical on a driveway.

We bring physical blocks and colour samples to your garden before any order is placed. Seeing the actual block in your specific outdoor light and against your planting and house materials is the only reliable way to make a confident choice.

Patterns and Designs

Block Patio Patterns That
Transform Your Garden

Block paving offers more laying pattern options than any other patio material. We bring physical samples of each to your home before you decide.

Herringbone

The most structurally sound pattern and the most popular choice for patios. The interlocking 45 or 90 degree arrangement locks blocks together and works beautifully with a contrasting border course for maximum garden impact.

Stretcher Bond

A clean, contemporary staggered pattern that suits modern properties and pairs beautifully with large format blocks or two-tone colour combinations. Simpler to cut than herringbone and ideal for irregular patio shapes.

Basketweave

A traditional woven pattern that suits period properties. Pairs of blocks set at alternating angles create a decorative, tactile surface with excellent visual character. Particularly popular for cottage garden patios.

Feature Circle

A decorative centrepiece circle in a contrasting colour is the most striking upgrade available for any patio. Fan-laid blocks radiate from a central block outwards, creating a focal point that transforms an ordinary patio into a genuine design feature.

Random / Sett Pattern

Tumbled block setts in a random organic layout evoke traditional cobbled courtyards and are ideal for character properties. Available in Tobermore Tegula tumbled blocks for the most authentic aged appearance.

Stack Bond with Border

A precise grid layout in the main field with a contrasting colour border course creates a bold, structured patio that suits architectural gardens and contemporary homes. Often combined with a feature circle for maximum design impact.
Mix patterns for the best result. The most impressive block paved patios combine a herringbone or stretcher bond main field with a contrasting border course and a feature circle focal point. We design all three elements together during your free site visit and bring physical samples so you can see exactly how the finished result will look.
Colours and Finishes

A Colour for
Every Garden Style

Block paving for patios is available in a broad range of colours, with the same choice between concrete and clay blocks. For patios there is often more freedom to be adventurous, feature circle in a contrasting colour, a border course in a complementary tone, or a two-colour field pattern can all be considered without the structural constraints of a trafficked driveway surface.

Popular patio choices include warm buff and natural tones that blend into garden settings, charcoal and graphite for a contemporary outdoor room feel, and clay reds and terracottas for period gardens and traditional properties. Tumbled block options from Tobermore add an aged, cobbled character suited to cottage and rural gardens.

The only reliable way to choose is to see physical blocks against your own garden and house. We bring samples to your free consultation so you can make a confident decision before anything is ordered.

Why Block Paving for Patios

Why Block Paving Makes
An Outstanding Patio

Block paving is not just for driveways. For patios, it offers advantages that no other material can match.

Any Block Replaceable

This is block paving's single greatest practical advantage. If a block cracks from a dropped pot, becomes stained or is damaged by frost, it can be lifted and replaced individually at minimal cost without disturbing the surrounding surface. No other patio material offers this.

Total Design Freedom

Block paving is the only patio surface where you have genuine creative control over pattern, colour, border, feature elements, curves and integration with planting. No two Heritage block paved patios are alike, because no two gardens are alike.

Natural Drainage

Water disperses naturally through the joints between blocks, making block paving inherently SUDS-friendly and reducing surface runoff compared to solid slab surfaces. This is particularly valuable for gardens where drainage to a lawn or planted bed is preferable to a drain channel.

Stronger Than Concrete

Block paving laid on a properly compacted sub-base is structurally stronger than poured concrete slabs. The interlocking pattern distributes load across the surface, preventing the cracking and heaving that affects large-format slabs in clay soils.

Adds Lasting Property Value

A professionally designed and installed block paved patio with integrated features and quality blocks consistently adds kerb appeal and perceived value to properties. The investment typically returns more than it costs in property value terms.

Low Ongoing Maintenance

An annual sweep and occasional jet wash is typically all that is required to keep a block paved patio looking excellent. A professional re-sand and seal every 4 to 5 years restores the joints and freshens the colour. Significantly less demanding than maintaining natural stone.

How We Work

Your New Block Paving Patio
in 6 Steps

Every Heritage block paved patio follows the same rigorous process. The steps that determine whether a patio lasts 5 years or 50 happen below the surface, and we never rush them.
01

Free Design Consultation

We visit your property with physical block and colour samples. We discuss patterns, border options, feature elements and garden integration ideas. We take measurements, assess drainage, DPC clearance and any groundworks requirements before providing a quote.
Samples at your garden
02

Fixed-Price Quotation

A detailed written quote covering materials, specifications, block type, pattern layout and timeline. No hidden extras. The price you are quoted is the price you pay.
No surprises, ever
03

Excavation & Sub-Base

We excavate to correct depth, remove all spoil and install a compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base to the correct thickness and drainage falls. For patios this is typically 75 to 100mm of compacted MOT, properly levelled with falls running away from the building.
Machine compacted throughout
04

Edging, Steps and Features

Concrete-haunched edging blocks are installed to all perimeters. Any steps, raised sections, drainage channels, feature circle prep or planting pockets are constructed at this stage, before the main block laying begins.
All features integrated from the start
05

Sand Bedding and Block Laying

A sharp sand bedding layer is screeded to precise levels. Blocks are laid in the chosen pattern using a wet saw for all perimeter cuts. Feature circles, contrasting borders and any header courses are integrated as we lay. Every block is consistent in height, and every joint is aligned.
Precision throughout
06

Compaction, Jointing & Sealing

The surface is plate-compacted to lock blocks together into the bedding sand. Kiln-dried sand is brushed into all joints, and the surface is re-vibrated. A professional weed-inhibiting block sealant is applied. Full site clean-down and walkthrough before we leave.
Ready to use immediately

Why Choose Heritage

Quality
Guaranteed

Marshalls, Brett & Tobermore Approved

We only specify premium blocks from approved manufacturers. Their products carry 10 to 25 year guarantees. The difference in quality between approved brands and cheaper alternatives is visible within 5 years.

Sub-Base Depth — Never Negotiated

The most common cause of a block paved patio sinking or becoming uneven is inadequate sub-base depth or compaction. We excavate to the correct depth and compact MOT Type 1 mechanically on every project. It takes longer and costs more material, but it is the only way to guarantee a stable result.

Patio-Specific Design Experience

We have installed many block paved patios. We know which block types work in which garden settings, which patterns suit which property styles, and how to integrate feature elements cleanly. That experience is available from your first consultation.

The Same Team. Start to Finish.

No subcontractors. The Heritage team who survey your garden are the same crew who arrive on installation day. Consistent, accountable craftsmanship from people who care about the result.

Full Workmanship Guarantee

Every Heritage block paved patio is fully guaranteed. Any issue arising from our installation or materials, we return and put it right at no cost, no questions asked.

Lee and his team complete a brand-new garden Patio last year. The work they did was great and no job was too big for them. A year later we noticed one of the tiles had become loose so I contacted Lee and only the next day him and his team were back round fixing the issue. They are very hard-working and friendly. Highly recommend them.

Received multiple quotes for our resin driveway last year, compared them All side-by-side decided to go with Heritage Paving as it was the most detailed and felt like we had the best connection with John out of all the contractors that visited. Also provided us with a full project proposal detailing each part of the job step by step prior to sending us the quotation. That helped us a lot to fully understand what was going to be happening. We are still over the moon with our driveway 14 months later and still looks as good as new. A big thank you to not just John but his hard working team. Will definitely have them back for further work and would definitely recommend.
