At Kingfisher, we take pride in delivering high-quality solutions for outdoor spaces, whether it’s refreshing old driveways or creating entirely new ones. Recently, we had the opportunity to transform an outdated tarmac driveway into a beautiful, durable block-paving drive and path, complete with a sealant to protect and enhance its vibrant colour.


Digging Up the Old Driveway
The project began with the removal of the old, worn tarmac driveway. We used a mini digger to efficiently dig up the old surface, clearing the way for a fresh start.


Laying the Sub Base
Once the old driveway was removed, we prepared the ground by laying and compacting a sub-base. This crucial step ensures that the new block paving will be stable and long-lasting.


Sanding and Laying the Blocks
After levelling the sub-base, we spread a layer of sand and carefully screeded it to create a smooth surface for the block paving. The new blocks were then laid with precision, beginning to take shape into the finished driveway and side path.



Completing the Driveway and Path
With the block paving fully laid, we added the finishing touches, including a neat step leading up to the front door. The new driveway and path immediately enhanced the appearance of the property, providing both functionality and visual appeal.

Sealing for Colour and Protection
To ensure the new block paving would maintain its fresh look for years to come, we applied a high-quality sealant. This not only protects the paving from weathering but also enhances the colour, making it more vibrant. The difference before and after sealing was striking, as shown in the process shots.


The Final Result
The final result was a stunning transformation. The new block paving drive and path added significant curb appeal, and the sealing process ensured long-term protection and an enhanced finish. The driveway is now both a practical and aesthetically pleasing feature of the home.
