Paving

Create a hardwearing, usable area for EV charging sites

Blackoak lay slab and flagstone paving to create durable, usable pedestrian areas across EV sites, including walkways between charging bays, paths linking car parks to amenities, entrance areas and waiting areas around charging hubs. Any shape or size can be covered, with the paving tying into the surrounding groundworks, kerbs and drainage.

Slab options for EV projects

A range of flag types, colours, sizes and finishes is available. Different slabs can call for slightly different techniques, so we adapt the installation method to suit each product while following the same core process. Our team can advise on the right slab for each site, with examples of completed work available to help with the decision.

Laying the Flag or Paving Stone

Tactile paving

Blackoak install tactile paving across EV car parks and charging hubs, guiding pedestrians safely at dropped kerbs, crossing points and access routes. Blister paving is laid at crossings, and corduroy paving at steps, ramps and level changes. Each unit is set flush with the surrounding surface and positioned to suit the site layout, so tactile areas tie neatly into the kerbs, walkways and paving around them.

Concrete precast slabs

We lay concrete precast slabs for walkways, entrance areas and hardstanding across EV projects. Their consistent size and thickness give a clean, uniform finish that stands up to heavy footfall. They’re available in a range of textures and finishes to suit each site.

Laying slabs and flagstones

Each slab is laid on a solid foundation, then placed and tapped into position with a rubber mallet to string lines set out before laying. A spirit level is used throughout to check the falls and the evenness of the surface. Jointing sand is then brushed over the finished slabs to lock them tightly together.
