The Paving Process

While the installation of imprinted concrete paving takes a fraction of the time it would take to lay traditional paving on the same area, Midland Paving follows a strict step-by-step procedure, finishing each job by hand to ensure we consistently produce driveways, patios, paths, forecourts and pool surrounds of the highest quality every time:

Features & benefits

The key advantages of Midland Paving’s pattern imprinted concrete over traditional paving include:

Virtually maintenance free

Unlike regular concrete our concrete is incredibly durable. We use specialist concrete mixes which include fibre re-enforcement and specific retarders to add strength to the mix making it 25% stronger than ordinary concrete; this means your drive will require virtually no maintenance so replacing cracked, damaged, or sunken slabs and blocks as with traditional paving will be a thing of the past.

Permanent colour & texture

Another benefit of imprinted concrete paving is that the colour and texture cannot fade over time, meaning your driveway, path, patio, pool surround or forecourt will continue to look great for years to come.

Weed & moss free

Unlike traditionally paved surfaces imprinted concrete paving is impermeable to weeds and moss so not only will you save time on maintenance, you’ll save money too.

Does not sink or spread

This problem, common with slab, tarmac or block paved surfaces, does not affect imprinted concrete paving.

Cost effective and rapid installation

The installation of imprinted concrete paving takes a fraction of the time it would to traditionally pave the same sized area – and the results are indistinguishable. Click here for a step-by-step photographic guide to the Midland Paving installation process.
