Block Paving & Driveways

New block paved, resin, tarmac, imprinted concrete and gravel driveways, dug out and built on a proper sub-base so they stay level for years.

What we do

  • Block paving in Marshalls and Tobermore ranges
  • Resin bound and tarmac surfacing
  • Imprinted and brushed concrete driveways
  • Decorative gravel driveways with edging
  • Dropped kerbs, edging, steps and garden paths
  • Drainage channels and soakaways built in

A driveway is the first thing anyone sees of your home, and it takes a hammering from cars, weather and frost. We build ours to take it.

Built from the ground up

Every driveway starts with a proper dig out. We take away the old surface and soft ground, lay a membrane where it is needed and build a compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base to the right depth for cars. Edging is set in concrete so the paving cannot creep, and falls are set so water runs away from the house and into drainage, not onto the pavement.

Materials you can trust

As Marshalls Register and Tobermore approved installers we lay paving from the UK's best known manufacturers, in a range of colours, sizes and patterns. If you want something different we also lay resin bound, tarmac, imprinted concrete and decorative gravel driveways, and we will talk you through the pros and cons of each for your house and budget.

Questions

Common questions

How long does a new driveway take?

Most block paved driveways take between three and seven days depending on size, access and how much needs digging out. We give you a clear timeline with your quote and keep you updated every day on site.

Can I see what it will look like first?

Yes. Nathan uses the Tobermore design app to show your house with the paving, colour and pattern you choose, so you can compare options before anything is ordered.

Do I need planning permission?

Front driveways over five square metres usually need to be permeable or drain into a lawn or border to avoid planning permission. We will talk you through the options when we visit and design the drainage to suit.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every driveway comes with a written guarantee of between 5 and 10 years, depending on the job and the materials. We will confirm your cover in writing with your quote.
