Planning a block paving driveway in Fleet? Block paving is one of the things we do best at Camberley Drives & Patios. We design and install smart, long-lasting block paved driveways throughout Fleet, Church Crookham and the wider Hart area, working with paving from every leading UK brand. From timeless tumbled cobbles to clean, modern linear blocks, we’ll create a driveway that gives your home real kerb appeal, adds value and stands the test of time. With more than 20 years’ experience, full insurance and a guarantee on every job, you’re in good hands.
Hard-wearing driveways with a finish you’ll be proud of.
There’s a reason block paving is such a popular driveway choice across Fleet. It looks superb, complements both older homes and the area’s many newer estates, and the interlocking blocks form a strong surface that takes the weight of daily traffic in its stride. We’ve been laying block paved driveways for homeowners around Fleet, Church Crookham and Elvetham Heath for over 20 years, and it shows in the quality of our work.
The difference between a driveway that lasts and one that doesn’t comes down to what happens before a single block is laid. We dig out to the correct depth, build and compact a solid sub-base, fit firm edge restraints, then bed and compact the blocks before brushing in kiln-dried jointing sand. The result is a driveway that stays level and looks great for years — and if a block is ever marked or damaged, it can be lifted and swapped rather than relaying the whole surface.
Block paving offers a huge range of colours, shapes and laying patterns, so your driveway can be designed around your home rather than bought off the shelf. Whether you want rustic cobbles or sharp modern planks, it's one of the most effective ways to transform how your Fleet property looks — and what it's worth.
On a properly built foundation, block paving is remarkably durable. Rather than cracking under load like a solid surface, the interlocking blocks flex slightly and spread the weight — comfortably handling cars and vans, with a good installation routinely lasting 20–25 years or more.
One of block paving's biggest advantages is that it's repairable in sections. If a block becomes stained, sunken or damaged, we can lift and replace just that block — keeping your driveway looking sharp without the cost of resurfacing the whole thing.
If drainage or planning rules are a concern, permeable block paving systems like Marshalls Driveline Priora allow rainwater to drain straight through the surface. That helps manage surface water and usually means no planning permission is needed for a front driveway.
We're not tied to a single supplier — we install block paving from all the leading UK manufacturers, so you get the colour, shape and finish that suits your Fleet home and budget. We'll guide you through the options and lay your chosen range to an exacting standard. Most ranges come in multiple colours and can be laid in herringbone, basketweave or stretcher-bond patterns, often with a contrasting border or feature to finish the design.
Popular ranges we install include:
We look after your block paving driveway from the first visit to the final brush-down, never cutting corners on the groundwork that makes it last:
We install block paving driveways throughout Fleet and the neighbouring towns and villages. Wherever you are in the GU51 and GU52 area and beyond, we’d be happy to help.
A professionally laid block paving driveway will typically last 20–25 years or more with very little upkeep. It all rests on the foundations — a proper sub-base and firm edge restraints — which we always get right. And because the surface is made up of individual blocks, any that are damaged can be replaced without redoing the whole driveway.
It varies with the size of the area, the blocks you pick and any groundwork or drainage needed. As a rough guide, block paving usually works out at around £60–£100 per square metre installed, and most home driveways come in between £4,000 and £10,000 overall. After a free, no-obligation visit we'll give you a clear, fixed price with nothing hidden.
Block paving is low-maintenance rather than no-maintenance. A regular sweep, the occasional wash and topping up the jointing sand from time to time keeps it looking smart. Sealing is optional — not essential, but it can help resist stains, discourage weeds in the joints and keep the colour vivid. We'll advise on what suits your driveway.
They all have their place. Block paving wins on choice of colour and pattern, classic good looks and the ability to repair it block by block. Resin is sleek and very low-maintenance, and tarmac is a budget-friendly all-rounder. If you'd like to compare, see our resin and tarmac driveway pages — or just ask and we'll talk it through.
Usually not — but there's one rule to keep in mind. If your driveway covers more than five square metres of front garden with a non-permeable surface and doesn't drain to a permeable area, planning permission may be required. Permeable systems such as Marshalls Driveline Priora let water soak through and generally avoid it. We'll advise on drainage and keep everything compliant.
Lots to choose from. Block paving comes in warm brindles and autumn blends through to greys, buffs and charcoals, as tumbled cobbles or sleek linear planks. Favourite patterns include herringbone, basketweave and stretcher bond, often set off with a contrasting border. We'll help you land on a look that suits your home.

Very impressed and would not hesitate to recommend Robin and his team. I have no through access to my back garden via an entry only through the house. This was not a problem for the team and the work was done to a very high standard. The team were friendly, punctual, professional, offering advice at all stages of the garden renovation and completed within the timeframe. The end result is superb and i now have a lovely patio and a garden i can be proud of. My expectations were high and they were certainly met. I will be calling them back for my driveway. Thank you Robin and team 👍
