Why Choose Cheshire Paving Stone’s Brick Pavers?

Timeless Appeal

Clay brick pavers never go out of style. Their rich textures and colours add a natural charm to any space, creating a classic yet modern look. From the warm hues of Antique Red Clay Brick Pavers to the bold sophistication of Stone Grey Clay Brick Pavers, this collection delivers beauty that won't go out of fashion. Unlike concrete block paving, clay paving doesn’t fade over time, giving you a beautiful, lasting finish.

Durability

Made in Europe from natural clay, these pavers are fired at high temperatures, ensuring exceptional strength and longevity. Resistant to weathering, cracking, and fading, they are built to withstand the elements for decades, even in high-traffic areas like driveways or public walkways. Clay paving has an expected lifespan of over 120 years!

Low Maintenance

Clay brick pavers require minimal upkeep. Their non-porous surface naturally resists moss and algae growth, while their rich tones hide wear and tear, ensuring a fresh appearance year after year. There is no need to seal clay pavers. Occasional, seasonal cleaning will leave your paving looking pristine. Learn more about maintaining clay paving.

Sustainability

Our clay brick pavers are crafted using sustainable natural materials and processes, with a lot of the materials being used, coming from river sediment, which naturally replenishes. Their durability reduces the need for replacement, and they have a long-life cycle, making them an eco-friendly choice for outdoor spaces.

Experience

Our clay brick paving is supplied by, Chelmer Valley; the UK’s go-to supplier of clay paving. Sourcing only the finest clay pavers from Belgium and The Netherlands, decades of procurement have enabled us to offer you the finest, longest-lasting materials on the market.

How to Use Brick Pavers in Outdoor Designs

Driveways

Manufactured to resist staining, brick pavers like Charcoal Grey Clay Brick Pavers or Old English Clay Brick Pavers offer both strength and style, making them ideal for driveways. Their slip-resistant surface texture provides safety, while their ability to bear heavy loads ensures durability. Clay paving may be more a more expensive initial outlay than concrete block paving, but it will not fade in colour over time, offering a far better long-term investment.

Garden Paths and Walkways

Create inviting pathways with products like Abbey Dark Multi Clay Brick Pavers or Romsey Antique Clay Brick Pavers. Their earthy tones blend seamlessly with natural surroundings, adding warmth and charm to any garden. A key advantage of brick paving over larger slabs like natural stone and porcelain, is its versatility. Smaller sized paving units allow you to choose from a host of laying patterns, to create your perfect design.

Patios

Clay brick pavers will add a stylish patio to any garden setting, whether used on their own, or alongside larger porcelain or natural stone paving as a border or to help move you from one area to another. Design a cosy patio for outdoor entertaining with Cotswold Clay Brick Pavers. Their consistent texture and colour create a polished yet welcoming space. For a rustic look, consider Dorset Antique Clay Brick Pavers. Pairing elegant garden furniture with your paving will add the perfect finishing touch, adding a tactile touch to your project.

Borders and Accents

Use striking pavers like Lucca or Ancona Clay Brick Pavers to frame flower beds, define lawn edges, or create decorative accents. Their varied shades and finishes add character to your design. Clay paving bricks can be laid in double or triple rows in a stretcher (or ‘brick’) bond or turned 90 degrees and laid ‘short ways’ to create borders or as a handy mowing strip on the edge of a lawn.

Outdoor Features

Brick pavers are renowned for being a highly adaptable hard landscaping material. They can be used to construct fire pits, seating areas, or even used to create decorative walling and as cladding. Our Lugano Clay Brick Pavers or Roma Clay Brick Pavers are manufactured with a smooth texture and a lightly tumbled edge, which is perfect for adding unique textures and a modern twist to these features.

Clay Brick Paving FAQs

What makes clay brick pavers different from concrete pavers?

Clay brick pavers are crafted from natural materials, offering richer colours and textures that don’t fade over time. They are more durable, sustainable, and resistant to weathering compared to concrete block paving alternatives.

Are clay brick pavers suitable for all climates?

Yes! Clay pavers are highly resistant to freezing and thawing cycles, making them suitable for diverse climates, including the UK’s variable weather. Clay pavers are used extensively across the European countries in which they’re manufactured (Belgium, The Netherlands, and Germany), surviving harsh winter conditions for decades.

How do I maintain clay brick pavers?

Clay brick pavers are considered a very low maintenance paving product. Regular sweeping and occasional washing with water will keep them clean. For stubborn stains, use a pH-neutral cleaner and a soft brush. Clay pavers do not require sealing, which not only highlights their robust character, but also isn’t an extra cost that needs factoring into your budget.

Are clay brick pavers eco-friendly?

Absolutely. Clay brick pavers are made from natural materials and have a long lifespan, reducing the need for replacement. Their production also has a lower carbon footprint compared to concrete alternatives. Clay brick pavers are also generally ‘dry laid’ (i.e. not on a sand and cement mortar), meaning they can be easily lifted/replaced and re-laid if required.

Can clay brick pavers handle heavy traffic?

Yes, clay brick pavers are extremely durable and can support the weight of vehicles, making them a great choice for driveways and commercial applications. Many brick pavers can be laid on their ‘edge’, adding to their strength and durability.

What laying patterns work best with brick pavers?

Popular patterns include herringbone for strength, basket weave for a traditional look, and stretcher bond for modern designs. The choice depends on the aesthetic and functional requirements of your project. Brick-shape pavers can also be easily laid in curves and circular shapes, adding to their adaptable appeal. Our team are happy to help you recommend laying patterns for your project.

Do clay brick pavers fade over time?

No, the natural colours of clay pavers are baked in during the firing process, ensuring they remain vibrant for decades without fading.

How do I choose the right colour for my project?

Consider the existing elements of your outdoor space, such as the house exterior, garden features, and overall theme. For modern designs, go with neutral tones like Stone Grey or Lugano Clay Brick Pavers. For rustic or traditional spaces, warm hues like Antique Red or Romsey Antique are ideal.
