MODERN GRAPHITE BLOCK DRIVEWAY

CASE STUDY

Block Paved Driveway Installation

A new block paved driveway was installed to improve access, appearance, and long-term durability to the front of the property.Works included full excavation, sub-base preparation, and installation of a modern graphite block finish, ensuring the driveway was constructed on a stable and well-prepared foundation.

Site Set-Out & Excavation

The existing surface was excavated to the required depth to allow for proper sub-base installation.Ground levels were adjusted to suit the property and surrounding areas, ensuring correct falls away from the building.

Sub-Base Installation

A granular sub-base was installed in layers and mechanically compacted.This provided a stable, load-bearing foundation designed to prevent movement and settlement over time.

Edging & Block Installation

Edging restraints were installed to retain the block paving and maintain long-term structural integrity.Modern graphite block paving was then laid to the agreed pattern, with lines and levels carefully controlled throughout.

Finishing & Compaction

Once laid, the surface was compacted and jointed to lock the blocks in place.Final checks were carried out to confirm levels, alignment, and overall finish before handover.

We focus on doing the job properly — not cutting corners or rushing work.

Why This MattersThe performance of a block paved driveway depends on what sits beneath the surface.Correct excavation depth, properly compacted sub-base, and secure edging prevent movement, sinking, and premature failure of the finished driveway.Mistakes at this stage are hidden — and expensive.

Extension Groundworks to DPC Level – Doncaster

CASE STUDY

Foundations, Drainage & Substructure Works

Groundworks were required to support a new extension, taking the project from initial excavation through to damp proof course (DPC) level.All works were carried out to ensure correct foundations, drainage, and substructure preparation prior to blockwork and superstructure construction.

Site Set-Out & Excavation

The extension footprint was set out in accordance with drawings and site levels.Excavation was carried out to the required depth for foundations, with ground conditions assessed throughout to ensure suitability.

Drainage Route Planning

New drainage connections were planned to integrate the soil stack and gullies installed as part of the extension.The drainage route was aligned to suit the proposed driveway layout, ensuring long-term performance and access for future maintenance.

Drainage & Service Runs

Drainage and service runs were installed at the correct depth and fall to integrate with the existing property.All pipework was aligned, bedded, and checked before surrounding works continued.

We focus on doing the job properly — not cutting corners or rushing work.

Why This MattersGroundworks determine the long-term performance of an extension.
Correct drainage, soakaway installation, and sub-base preparation at this stage prevent water problems, settlement, and costly remedial work later.Mistakes here are hidden — and expensive.

DRAINAGE INTEGRATION FOLLOWING EXTENSION – DONCASTER

CASE STUDY

Drainage Integration | Pre-Driveway Works

The drainage works were required following a recent extension to correctly integrate new outlets before driveway installation could proceed.Groundworks were carried out to connect drainage from the extension, including soil stack and gully connections, ensuring surface and foul water were directed away from the property.

Site Assessment & Preparation

The area alongside the property was opened up to assess drainage requirements following the extension works.Existing ground levels and water movement were reviewed to determine the most suitable drainage route before any new driveway installation.

Drainage Route Planning

New drainage connections were planned to integrate the soil stack and gullies installed as part of the extension.The drainage route was aligned to suit the proposed driveway layout, ensuring long-term performance and access for future maintenance.

Drainage Installation

A trench was excavated alongside the property and prepared with granular bedding.Drainage pipework was installed with correct alignment and falls, allowing water to flow efficiently away from the building. All connections were checked before any covering took place.

Preparation for Driveway Works

Once drainage installation was complete, the area was prepared for driveway construction.The sub-base was installed and compacted in layers to provide a stable, well-drained foundation ready for surfacing works.

We focus on doing the job properly — not cutting corners or rushing work.

Why This MattersGroundworks determine the long-term performance of a driveway and surrounding external works.Correct drainage integration following an extension, including proper pipe alignment, falls, and sub-base preparation, prevents standing water, settlement, and costly remedial work later.Mistakes at this stage are hidden — and expensive.
