Driveways
A driveway carries vehicle loads every day, so the build-up underneath matters more than the surface on top. We excavate to depth, install a compacted MOT sub-base, concrete-haunch the edgings and finish in the surface you choose.
What's included
- Block paving and cobble setts
- Tarmacadam and asphalt surfacing
- Resin bound gravel
- Loose gravel and shingle drives
- Brickwork edgings, walls and pillars
- Dropped kerbs and access widening
- Aco drainage and permeable build-ups
Built to take the weight
Excavation depth, geotextile membrane and a compacted sub-base laid in layers - the parts you never see are what stop a drive rutting and sinking under a car.
Drainage that meets the rules
New driveways need to deal with surface water on your own land. We use permeable build-ups, channel drains or soakaways so run-off doesn't end up on the pavement.
Common questions
- How long does a driveway take?
- A typical domestic driveway takes three to seven working days depending on size, the amount of dig-out and the surface chosen.
- Do I need planning permission?
- Not usually, as long as the surface is permeable or the water drains to a soakaway or border on your own property. We build it that way as standard.
