Block paving repairs in Poole: the local picture
Across Poole, front gardens range from narrow terrace plots to broad modern drives, and the best block, pattern and drainage choice changes with them.
The South West is wetter than the east of England, so falls and drainage are planned before the pattern is chosen.

What does a block paving repair involve?
Most small repairs can be priced from clear photos and a measurement. If the problem is a symptom of something deeper, such as a failed edge or a soft sub-base, we will say so rather than patching over it, and price the proper fix alongside.
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded

Why does block paving sink?
