Here is an odd request - Preventative paving

Posted by Matt Johnson on April 25, 2014 at 2:39pm in Paving Materials and Advice

does anyone know of a type of paving that can be used as a foot traffic deterrent.. similar to rumble slabs but more pronounced i would say..

I have had a request from a customer who wants these laid around his front boundary as at the moment it has become a cut through for the general public and a free parking space for apparently everyone bar the one person that should use it (Him)

Does anyone know of this type of paving? or any other kind of way to prevent this from happening..

    Matt, we have something similar at one of our business sites to stop vehicles parking on the pavement edge.

    Alternate, offset lines 65mm Driveway pavers/sets set in a sharp mortar bed, on their long side at 45 deg.....effectively giving a saw-tooth effect. Very hard to walk on or drive over. Seems to have been quite effective.

    Or, something ready made like this from Marshalls ?
