Block paving - Tyre marks on recently laid drive

[RAPressureWashing]

Just to add, the starter of this thread never got in touch with the company who's details I sent over to him. ???

What could you do to rectify the problem?

Replace with black blocks.

Buy new tyres (not from china).

Dont drive on it!!

Drive all over the blocks to make it look all the same.

Pour petrol all over drive and set fire to it and melt the rubber.

Paint it.

Move.

Buy a bike.

Hope that helps.

Hey beever did you get this sorted? I have exactly the same problem on my drive. The blocks are clay and are really badly marked all the way up my drive where the car goes, it makes the drive look awful! I'm beginning to wish I'd never had it done to be honest. I regularly sweep and clean it but these marks just won't budge! The drive is approx 2 years old by the way.

I get tyre marks on my concrete block paved drive - but only from other cars that use it to turn in, not from my own car!
A stiff broom & warm water does remove them though.
Not sure about clay bricks though.

I answered a simular question in "Flags & Slabs"
If you have access to a hot pressure washer this will help.
Hot water will be fine on clay just don't hold the lance in the same position for to long this applies to any surface really.

Tyre marks, tyre marks more tyre marks, i think you should use a bus, problem solved. The rubber will wear away in a few years.
