Block paving can be lifted, and replaced easily. You can even just turn the block, if you happen to leak a little oil.

I beg to differ. Isn't the sand supposed to lock in the blocks? http://www.northwestpavingrepair.co.uk/pavingrepair/?page_id=31 Surely, if you can lift them that easily, then they haven't been laid right? Not only that, but aren't you supposed to seal them with resin? http://www.pavingexpert.com/refurb_07.htm Just saying, I'm a plumber, not a builder. Now left.

You use silver sand for between the blocks, and you can seal them but it doesn't stop them being lifted. The amount of silver sand which is only a used as a gap filler won't effect relaying or lifting. The sealer is only there like a sealer on a grouted floor. They are designed as a base that can except movement, and are retained by a solid edging.
