FAQs

What is the coverage of one pack of Marshalls Savanna Block Paving?

Each pack of Marshalls Savanna Block Paving covers approximately 11.52m².

What are the dimensions of each Savanna block?

Each block measures 240mm in length, 160mm in width, and 50mm in thickness.

Can I use this paving for a heavily trafficked driveway?

The 50mm depth is suitable for standard domestic driveways. For heavier traffic applications, Marshalls offers Savanna block paving in 60mm and 80mm depths, which are recommended.

How can I ensure a consistent color on my driveway?

To achieve a consistent finish, always blend blocks from 3 to 5 different packs and ensure they are from the same factory and batch number. Avoid mixing blocks from different factories.

Is there a matching kerb available?

Yes, a matching Savanna kerb unit is available to create a cohesive driveway project.

Should I order extra paving blocks?

It is recommended to add approximately 10% to your order to account for installation cuts, fitting breakages, and potential repairs.

What is the finish of the Savanna block paving?

The Savanna block paving has an untumbled finish with a modern, straight-edged profiling.

Troubleshooting

Color variation between blocks

Blend blocks from 3-5 different packs before laying. Source all blocks from the same factory and batch number. If significant variation persists, contact the supplier.

Uneven surface after installation

Ensure the sub-base was properly prepared and compacted. Check if blocks have settled unevenly. Re-level individual blocks or sections as needed.

Weeds growing in joints

Ensure joints were fully filled with kiln-dried sand or polymeric sand during installation. Re-sand joints or consider using a polymeric sand for a more rigid bond.

Surface staining

Clean spills immediately. Use a suitable block paving cleaner for persistent stains, following the manufacturer's instructions.

Cons

Potential for color variation between batches requires careful management.

Additional 10% should be ordered to account for cuts and breakages.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Sub-base Preparation: Ensure a stable, well-compacted sub-base is prepared according to local guidelines and expected load-bearing requirements. For 50mm depth, a typical granular sub-base of 150mm may be appropriate for driveways, with a finer aggregate bedding layer (e.g., 30-50mm of grit sand) on top.
Laying Pattern: For a consistent finish, blend blocks from 3 to 5 different packs before laying. Arrange blocks in vertical columns rather than horizontal rows to enhance the visual continuity.
Cuts & Edging: Use appropriate cutting tools (e.g., angle grinder with a diamond blade) for any necessary cuts. Consider the matching Savanna kerb unit for clean edges and a finished look.
Jointing: Fill the joints with kiln-dried sand or a suitable polymeric sand after laying and compaction, sweeping it into the gaps.

Compatibility:

This paving is compatible with Marshalls Savanna kerb units for a unified design.
While this 50mm depth is suitable for most driveways and patios, Marshalls also offers 60mm and 80mm depths for heavier traffic applications. Check product specifications for suitability.
Ensure all blocks are sourced from the same factory and batch number to avoid color variations. Do not mix blocks from different factories.

Care:

Regular sweeping will remove surface debris.
For cleaning, use a stiff brush and water, or a mild detergent if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Moss and algae can be treated with a proprietary cleaner suitable for block paving.
