Our team at SDL Driveways Leicester recently completed a stunning Sorrento block paving installation for a homeowner in Leicester.

The project involved transforming the front of the house, the garage entrance, and the driveway with high-quality Sorrento block paving.

The client wanted a stylish, durable, and low-maintenance solution that would improve the look of their property while providing a strong and reliable surface for parking.

Challenges & Requirements

  • The existing driveway surface was uneven and had areas of wear and tear.
  • The client wanted a seamless design that flowed from the driveway to the garage and front of the house.
  • Drainage was a key consideration to prevent water pooling.

The Installation Process

  • Ground Preparation: We started by excavating the old surface and ensuring the ground was level. A solid sub-base was laid to provide a strong foundation.
  • Edging and Borders: We installed edge restraints to keep the block paving secure and maintain a neat finish.
  • Laying the Sorrento Block Paving: Using a mix of colours to create a modern, elegant look, we carefully placed the blocks in a precise pattern.
  • Compaction and Finishing Touches: The blocks were compacted to ensure a firm, stable surface. We applied kiln-dried sand and sealed the driveway for added durability.
  • Drainage Considerations: We installed appropriate drainage channels to prevent water build-up and ensure long-term performance.

The Result

The transformation was impressive! The Sorrento block paving created a sophisticated and seamless look, enhancing the property’s appearance. The new driveway is not only visually appealing but also highly practical, providing a durable and weather-resistant surface that will last for years.

Customer Review

SDL Driveways Leicester did an amazing job on our driveway and front entrance! The Sorrento block paving looks fantastic, and the attention to detail was second to none. The team was professional, efficient, and left everything spotless. We couldn’t be happier with the result!

From start to finish a professional and slick operation. Simon provided lots of advice, suggestions and technical knowledge and we were pleasantly surprised by the very competitive quotation and speed of communication throughout. Charles Gary & John who work tirelessly on our project were fantastic and a credit to the company, nothing was too much trouble and they were always polite, friendly and happy to complete the little extra “add-ons” that we kept asking them to do.A special mention goes to Simon who worked very hard and was totally committed to each and every task. His attention to detail was exemplary. Thanks Simon it was very much appreciated.All the neighbours, friends and relatives that have seen our new drive can’t believe the transformation and especially how much larger it now looks.Several people who have viewed it have gone on to request quotes for their own properties. What more can you say. FIVE STAR PRICE & SERVICEThank you Shire Driveways&Landscapes Team for a job well done, we will obviously, recommend you.

I’m a fussy customer with massive attention to detail so was watching closely whilst the guys were working and discussing details throughout, they rebuilt our front wall and the bricklayer finished it really quickly and to a really high standard. They then laid a block edging on the driveway and finished the driveway with tarmac. The finish looks great and is exactly what I was after. They turned it around really quickly and worked long days to get the job done. The pictures speak for themselves I think. Thanks guys. Really appreciate new driveway
