Quote: path and driveway paving
E.g.: blocks, vehicle driveway, edging
Identify pedestrians, bikes, cars or delivery vehicles. Add dimensions, slopes, photos, garage thresholds and inspection covers. Describe turning and parking; vehicle-suitable must relate to a defined use.
Define use before thickness
Request a proposal suited to soil and stated traffic. Universal foundation thickness cannot replace site assessment. Mention turning zones, occasional deliveries and essential access during work. Replace semi-driveable with a precise use description.
Check what permeable means
CRR examines permeable paving as a whole: soil, layers, joints and surface, recommending checks of ground permeability. Selecting a permeable block alone does not guarantee infiltration on your plot.
Draw edges and junctions
Locate thresholds, covers, gate, edging and planting transitions. Request finished levels, edge restraint and water routes. Discuss joints and evenness for your mobility needs; an attractive pattern does not suit every use automatically.
Plan care and repairs
Request cleaning, joint checks and reopening instructions. For individual replacement, check block availability and support access. Local resurfacing does not necessarily resolve settlement causes; have the problem identified before levelling.

On quotation
Compare matching area, vehicles and junctions. Separate preparation, foundation, bedding, blocks, joints and edge restraint. Block thickness alone describes neither driveway capacity nor complete cost.
Subsidies and grants
No grant is deducted from the budget shown here. If a quote mentions support, request the exact scheme and confirmation of your eligibility before including it in financing.
Frequently asked questions
Can a footpath take a car later?
Do not assume so. Declare the use initially or have the structure checked before changing it.
Does interlocking mean immune to ground movement?
No. Request suitable support and edge design.
Is all paving permeable?
Document the whole system's performance rather than inferring it from joints.
Can old support remain?
Have condition, levels and water management examined first.
