Hard landscaping: paving, blocks and concrete landscaping products

Create durable surfaces with a choice of block paving for driveways and paving slabs for patios and footpaths. Dense concrete landscaping products deliver strength and consistent colour, while stone-effect textures add a natural look without the maintenance of real stone.

Block paving

Interlocking building blocks form a tough, traffic-ready finish for drives and parking areas. Choose from classic brindle and charcoal tones or mixed blends to complement brickwork and render. Use the correct sub-base, sharp sand bedding layer and kiln-dried jointing sand for a long-lasting result.

Paving slabs

Large-format flags are ideal for patios and garden seating areas, giving clean lines and quick coverage. Mix sizes for a random pattern or keep it simple with a single size on straight runs. Joint with a suitable mortar or resin to resist weeds and wash-out.

Edging, kerbs, pier caps and coping stones

Neat edges protect paving from creep and keep gravel and planting in place. Fit edging and kerbs along paths, lawns and drive edges for crisp lines and easier maintenance. Finish walls and pillars with pier caps and coping stones to shed water, protect brickwork and add a smart architectural detail that ties the scheme together.

Decking, fencing and garden landscaping products

Where you want warmth underfoot or elevation over uneven ground, decking provides a fast, modular platform for terraces and seating areas. Match with fencing panels and posts to define boundaries, add privacy and reduce wind. These landscape products help divide zones for dining, play and planting while keeping a consistent style across the garden.

Soft landscaping: top soil and weed control

Top soil prepares beds and borders for healthy growth; use it to level lawns, fill planters and improve poor ground before turfing or seeding. Lay weed fabric beneath gravel, bark or decorative stone to suppress regrowth and keep maintenance low. For lawns that look good year-round with minimal upkeep, artificial grass offers clean, quick coverage where mowing is difficult.

Buying guide: choosing the right landscaping products

Surfaces and footfall

For driveways, pick block paving designed for vehicle loading. For patios and paths, paving slabs offer fast coverage and easy cleaning. In shaded or damp spots, choose textured finishes for extra slip resistance.

Sub-base and drainage

A stable sub-base is essential. Use compacted MOT Type 1 beneath drives and patios, and include falls away from buildings to manage surface water. Add edging to lock the surface in place and reduce maintenance.

Finishing touches

Pier caps, coping stones, edging and kerbs sharpen the look and protect the build. Match colours across blocks, slabs and walling for a cohesive finish that complements the property.

FAQs

What’s the difference between block paving and paving slabs?

Block paving uses small interlocking building blocks suited to vehicle loads and curved layouts; paving slabs are larger flags ideal for patios and footpaths where quick coverage and simple patterns are preferred.

Do I need edging or kerbs around a patio or drive?

Edging and kerbs help retain the laying course, prevent lateral spread and deliver a cleaner boundary between paving, gravel and lawns. They also speed up maintenance by keeping edges neat.

How much top soil do I need for new planting beds?

As a guide, allow 100–150 mm depth for beds and 25–50 mm for lawn top-up. Calculate area × depth to estimate volume, then add a small contingency for settlement and levelling.

Should I use weed fabric under gravel or decking?

Yes. A good-grade weed fabric suppresses regrowth and stabilises fines, keeping paths and seating areas low-maintenance. Choose heavier grades for driveways and high-traffic zones, lighter grades for borders and planters.
