It’s official! Block paving continues to lead the way as the most popular driveway material in 2025. At Stone Made Drives, we’ve seen a significant rise in homeowners opting for this reliable and stylish option, and it’s not hard to see why.
Why Is Block Paving So Popular?
- Attractive & Customisable Designs
- Block paving offers endless design possibilities, from traditional herringbone patterns to more modern, linear styles. With a wide range of colours, shapes, and finishes, it’s easy to create a unique driveway that enhances your home’s kerb appeal.
- Built To Last
- When professionally installed, block paving can last for decades. It’s strong enough to handle daily vehicle traffic and resistant to weather damage.Plus, if a block ever gets damaged, it’s simple to replace without redoing the whole driveway.
- Easy Maintenance
- Unlike some surfaces, block paving is easy to clean and maintain. Occasional weeding and a pressure wash are usually enough to keep it looking fresh all year round.
- Permeable Options Available
- For those looking to reduce surface water and support sustainable drainage, permeable block paving allows rainwater to filter through the gaps, which helps to prevent puddles and flooding.
2025 Trends in Block Paving
This year, we’re seeing growing interest in:
- Multi-tone Blocks: Adds depth and character.
- Edged Borders: Definition and contrast.
- Tumbled or Aged Finishes: Gives a rustic, timeless look.
