Driveways & Paving - Information for East Kilbride Clients

When choosing the right material for your driveway in East Kilbride, it’s important to consider both appearance and practicality. Block paving is a popular choice due to its attractive finish and flexibility in patterns and colours. It’s durable and easy to repair, as individual blocks can be replaced, though it may require occasional weeding and maintenance to keep it looking pristine. Monoblock driveways, often using concrete blocks, are cost-effective and quick to install, offering a clean, modern look, but they can be prone to weed growth between joints if not properly sealed. Gravel driveways are budget-friendly and provide excellent drainage, making them ideal for larger areas; however, gravel can shift over time and may require regular raking or top-ups. Resin-bound driveways offer a smooth, permeable surface with a high-end appearance and minimal maintenance, but they tend to be more expensive upfront. Tarmac (asphalt) is another robust and cost-effective option, ideal for high-traffic areas, though it may be less visually appealing and prone to softening in hot weather.

At Briarlea Landscapes, we help clients across East Kilbride choose the best material to suit their budget, lifestyle, and the character of their home. Why not take advantage of a free consultation with one of our experienced designers – Call 01555 861200
