Marshalls Lunar Block Paving – Smooth vs Textured (Which Should You Choose?)

Marshalls Lunar block paving is one of the newest additions to the Marshalls range, designed to deliver a clean, modern finish for driveways and patios.

With both smooth and textured options available, choosing the right finish can make a big difference to the final look and feel of your project.

This guide breaks it down simply so you can decide what works best — and get it ordered without overthinking it.

What Is Marshalls Lunar Block Paving

Marshalls Lunar is a contemporary block paving solution built for modern homes and high-end driveway finishes.

It offers:

• Consistent sizing for clean lines
• A modern colour palette
• Long-lasting durability under daily use

Whether you’re installing a new driveway or upgrading an existing space, Lunar is designed to give a sharp, professional finish.

Smooth vs Textured – What’s the Difference

Both finishes use the same core product — the difference is in the surface detail.

Smooth Finish:

• Sleek, modern appearance
• Clean, sharp edges
• Ideal for contemporary properties
• Easier to maintain and clean

Textured Finish:

• Slightly rougher surface
• More grip underfoot
• Subtle variation for a more natural look
• Better suited for traditional or mixed-style properties

Which One Should You Choose

Choose Smooth if:

• You want a high-end, modern driveway
• Your property has clean lines and sharp finishes
• You prefer a uniform, consistent look

Choose Textured if:

• You want a bit more grip
• You prefer a slightly softer, more natural finish
• Your property is more traditional in style

Both options are suitable for driveways and patios — it comes down to the finish you prefer.

Installation & Base Preparation

Like all block paving, Marshalls Lunar must be installed on a solid sub-base to prevent movement or sinking over time.
