More to that, a low-quality block paving would most likely be damaged, thus resulting in frequent and costly replacements. With many block paving services available in Birmingham, you are at an advantage. The problem is finding the genuine guy(s) to do the job.

Don’t worry though, because by the time you are done reading this piece, you’ll know exactly what to look for, and where to check. There are basically some simple aspects to beware of, some of you probably already know about.

Check online reviews

The very first step is to check Google “block paving driveways in Birmingham” and see the kind of paving experts that come to the first page. The next thing is to pick a few options from the list, then go ahead and individually check their online reviews.

Find out what customers are saying about the agencies or companies. But be careful to read between the lines; some of the reviews are “stage managed” and simply fake. Always opt for paving experts with more than 30 reviews. The more the reviews are, the better.

Therefore, when looking for the best guys for the job, revisit the online reviews and see if there is a specific firm that’s always open to ideas – most of them do.
