Professional block paving by White & Sons in Poole. 91 years of heritage craftsmanship.
Block Paving Services in Poole
Poole spans everything from the sweeping detached properties of Canford Cliffs and Lilliput to the 1930s semis of Broadstone and the modern estates of Canford Heath. Our teams are accustomed to the full range of Poole property types — tight urban accesses in the Old Town, waterfront properties with marine exposure, and suburban driveways in Broadstone and Upton where traditional block paving and asphalt are the most popular choices.
Block paving offers unparalleled versatility. From traditional herringbone patterns to modern staggered designs, our master pavers meticulously lay every block so your driveway stays beautifully level for years to come. We use premium concrete and clay pavers from leading manufacturers including Marshalls, Brett, and Tobermore, available in an extensive range of colours, textures, and styles. The result is a surface that is hard-wearing, easy to maintain, and strikingly beautiful.
Block Paving in Poole — Local Detail
Block paving is popular across the newer Canford Heath and Upton estates. We offer permeable block systems that satisfy BCP Council drainage requirements — particularly valuable in areas of Poole where the ground conditions limit traditional soakaway drainage.
Planning & Drainage in Poole
Poole falls within BCP Council's jurisdiction, and all new impermeable driveways over 5 square metres require either a SUDS-compliant drainage solution or planning permission. Poole's water table is notably high in low-lying areas close to the harbour, which can affect soakaway viability — we always carry out a percolation test to confirm the right drainage solution for your specific site.

Is soakaway drainage suitable for my Poole property?
It depends on your location in Poole. Properties close to the harbour or in low-lying areas may have a high water table that limits soakaway viability. We carry out a soil percolation test on every site survey and will always recommend the most appropriate drainage solution for your specific ground conditions.
