Block paving driveways
Modern housing, mostly with block paved drives already in place from build. Those are usually sound in the middle and failing at the edges and the apron where cars turn, which is a repair or a partial relay rather than a full one.
Tarmac driveways
On the commercial side, and on the larger domestic plots, tarmac is often the sensible economics: it covers area quickly and cheaply and it takes heavier loads than block paving laid to a domestic build up.
Groundworks and preparation
Commercial hardstanding, forecourts and loading areas need a different build up from a domestic drive because of the axle loads, and using a domestic specification on a yard is the most common way these fail.
Driveway drainage
Larger impermeable areas on the commercial side mean real volumes of water and a real drainage design rather than a channel at the gate.

Questions from Bromborough
Is tarmac cheaper than block paving?
Per square metre, usually yes, and the gap widens the larger the area. On a small frontage the difference is modest. On a long drive or a yard it is substantial, which is why the right answer depends on the size as much as the look.
Can you do commercial hardstanding?
Yes, and it is a different specification from a driveway rather than the same thing bigger. Axle loads need a deeper, stronger build up, and using a domestic one on a yard is the usual reason they fail.
Other areas covered
Twelve towns across the peninsula. What decides a driveway here is the plot rather than the postcode: how it falls, what is under it, how wide the frontage is and where the water is going to go.

Rough size, what is on it now and which way it falls is enough for a first answer about what is possible.
