Paved With Good Intentions: Creating Ideal Outdoor Spaces
When it comes to upgrading driveways and patios, one material stands the test of time—slabs. With the proper slab type and installation, you can create an outdoor space that is functional, aesthetic, and built to last over 20 years.
Base Driveways has spent the last two decades perfecting the installation of paving slabs in Kent for custom patios and driveways across Kent. With our expertise, your new slab paved space will enhance your property value and become your family’s favourite outdoor retreat.
The Benefits of Proper Slab Installation
Over our many years installing top-quality slab driveways, patios, and pathways, Base Driveways has seen firsthand the benefits they provide:
- Durability – Properly laid slabs resist cracking and movement better than other materials like asphalt or poured concrete. Quality slabs enhance curb appeal over decades, not just years.
- Low-maintenance – Unlike other materials like loose gravel or decking, slab installation is largely set-it-and-forget-it. An occasional sweeping or pressure spray keeps slab spaces looking pristine.
- Customisable aesthetics – From modern stone and brick looks to classic aggregate styles, slab textures suit any home. Layout patterns and colour blends also customise spaces.
- Improved functionality – Slab spaces stay cleaner and drier than loose materials, expanding how the area gets used. Smooth, firm slabs also increase safety and accessibility over uneven mixes.
Base Driveways ensures every customer enjoys these ideal traits through our specialised slab selection and installation process refined over 20 years.
Installation Expertise Makes the Difference
Working in Kent homes for decades provided key insights – proper slab selection and installation techniques make or break durability and aesthetics. Rushed or unskilled installers often cut corners that undermine quality slabs. Some seemingly minor errors create long-term issues like:
- Improper base preparation causes gradual sinking or cracking
- Inadequate spacing between slabs allows weed growth and debris to accumulate
- Insufficient bordering resulting in slab creep or fence damage from lawnmowers
- Poor cutting around landscaping causes unsafe ridges or visual disjointedness
That is why Base Driveways tackles every project from start to finish with our in-house team. Our installers have years of experience preparing bases, laying slabs, cutting aesthetically, and finishing with speciality treatments like sand-brushed edges.
Combined with using premier materials from trusted regional providers, we ensure precision paving slabs in Kent projects designed and built to last – guaranteed.
By selecting quality materials installed precisely by a tenured regional craftsman, your customised slab driveway, patio or pathway becomes a lasting enhancement to your home and lifestyle.
