Block Paving

When it comes to replacing or having a new driveway in Essex with Allison Paving, you will instantly improve the whole look and value to your home.

We have listed below the technical specifications that we undertake when laying block paving:

  1. We will excavate to 200mm of soil and with then lay 100mm of lean mix concrete as a base to minimise any chance of the base sinking.
  2. Free edges are then set on a concrete base to stop the blocks from coming loose.
  3. We add, pack down and level 40mm of sand, which helps lock the pavers together and acts as a shock absorber.
  4. We lay our blocks only once we are satisfied that the foundations are correctly installed.
  5. We then brush fine sand between the blocks for added stability, it is then compacted again to further ensure the block paving will not move.

Composite Fencing

Composite fencing is a great choice for homeowners and businesses alike because it is durable, affordable, and easy to maintain.

There are a number of reasons why you may want to consider composite fencing for your home or business. First and foremost, composite fencing is a more sustainable option than traditional fencing materials like wood or metal. Not only is composite fencing less likely to cause environmental damage, but it can also last several times longer than traditional fencing materials. In addition to its sustainability benefits, composite fencing is also more affordable than traditional fencing materials. If you’re looking for a reliable and affordable option for your fencing needs, composite fencing is a great choice.
