When it comes to transforming outdoor spaces, nothing makes an impact quite like high-quality paving. From elegant block-paved driveways to welcoming patios and practical pathways, professional paving adds both style and function to your home. At Gladstone Paving Sussex, we are proud to have completed a wide range of projects across East Sussex—including Eastbourne, Brighton, Hastings, Lewes, and surrounding areas.

If you’re looking for inspiration for your next outdoor improvement, here’s a closer look at some of our recent work and the design possibilities we can bring to your property.

Why Choose Professional Paving?

A well-designed driveway or patio does more than improve kerb appeal. It can:

  • Provide safe, durable parking and access.

  • Extend your living space into the garden.

  • Reduce maintenance and drainage issues.

  • Add long-term value to your property.

Investing in professional paving ensures your outdoor surfaces not only look fantastic but also stand up to the unpredictable British climate.

Block Paving Transformations

Block paving remains a top choice for homeowners who want both durability and custom design. Our Eastbourne and Brighton clients often select block paving because it allows for unique patterns and colour combinations.

Recent Example – Eastbourne Driveway

One homeowner in Eastbourne wanted a traditional yet smart new driveway. We recommended a herringbone block paving layout with a charcoal border. The result was a surface that complemented the property’s character while offering strength and longevity.

Resin-Bound Driveways Gaining Popularity

Resin-bound surfaces are one of the fastest-growing trends across Sussex. Sleek, smooth, and permeable, they provide a modern look without sacrificing practicality.

Recent Example – Brighton Resin Driveway

In Brighton, a client opted for a silver granite resin blend to give their property a contemporary edge. The installation created a seamless, weed-resistant driveway that looks smart year-round and provides excellent drainage during heavy rainfall.

Patios Designed for Year-Round Use

A patio can transform your garden into a space that’s perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying the outdoors. We’ve completed numerous patio projects across Lewes and Hastings, using materials such as sandstone, porcelain, and limestone.

Recent Example – Hastings Garden Patio

A homeowner in Hastings wanted a practical outdoor area for family gatherings. We installed a porcelain patio, chosen for its durability and low maintenance. The sleek finish is frost-resistant, easy to clean, and ideal for year-round use.

Gravel and Tarmac Driveways

While block paving and resin are popular choices, gravel and tarmac still have their place in East Sussex. Gravel driveways provide a rustic, natural feel that suits countryside homes, while tarmac is a cost-effective solution for homeowners prioritising strength and speed of installation.

Recent Example – Lewes Gravel Driveway

In Lewes, we created a gravel driveway using golden flint aggregate. This option gave the property a warm, rural look while providing excellent drainage.

Recent Example – Seaford Tarmac Driveway

For a Seaford client needing a practical and durable surface, we installed a tarmac driveway with block paving edging. The result combined functionality with a touch of style.

Tailored Designs for Every Property

Every home is unique, which is why we take a personalised approach to paving projects. Whether you prefer a modern look or something more traditional, our designs can be adapted to suit your taste and budget.

Key customisation options include:

  • Colour choices – from warm reds and browns to sleek greys and silvers.

  • Patterns – herringbone, basketweave, or unique designs for block paving.

  • Borders and edging – to add definition and enhance kerb appeal.

  • Drainage features – to keep your driveway or patio safe and dry.

Our Commitment to Quality

At Gladstone Paving Sussex, we believe great paving is about more than just appearance. Every project is built on:

  • Strong sub-bases – to ensure stability and prevent sinking.

  • High-quality materials – sourced from trusted suppliers.

  • Expert craftsmanship – with attention to detail in every stage.

  • Customer satisfaction – we work closely with homeowners from design through to completion.
