Block Paving across Chalkwell & SS0
Chalkwell is a sought-after seafront pocket between Westcliff and Leigh with sloping, seaward-facing plots, known locally for Chalkwell Park and the Crowstone. For block paving here, that specific setting — not the wider Westcliff-on-Sea average — is what we design around.
Part of Westcliff-on-Sea yet distinct in feel, Chalkwell sits in SS0. We bring clay and concrete block pavers and a compacted MOT base, screeded sand and vibrated blocks to its Edwardian avenues, 2 miles from our Southend yard via the Chalkwell Avenue.
What local projects involve
Sloping and split-level gardens
Where Chalkwell plots slope, retaining and levelling come first. We get the structure right before any surface goes down.
Drainage on coastal plots
Coastal and low-lying plots around Chalkwell can hold water. We build in falls and permeable detailing so surfaces drain properly through SS0's wetter months.
Why choose us locally
