Driveways

Four surfaces, samples brought to your door and a free design so you can see it on your own house before you decide anything.

Choosing a surface

Pick it in your own driveway, not on a screen

Every driveway surface looks good in a photograph taken on the right day. The question is what it looks like against your brick, in your light, when it has been raining.

So we bring the samples to you. Resin blends, block ranges, gravels and setts, laid out on your own drive so you can see them properly and live with them for a few days if you want to.

Then we design it for you, free, and give you one price that does not move. All of that happens before you have committed to anything.

Free design

We will design your driveway or garden and show you what it will look like, before you have spent a penny or committed to anything.

Samples at your door

We bring the actual blocks, slabs and aggregates to the house so you can see them against your brick, in your light, in the rain.

One price, held

The figure we give you is the figure you pay. No day-rate creep, no extras invented halfway through, nothing added at the end.

What you get

Everything below is included in a block paved driveway

Hard wearing, endlessly repairable and available in more colours and textures than you will want to choose from. We will bring the samples to you.

  • A free design so you can see it before you commit
  • A home visit with real samples, at a time that suits you
  • Your old surface taken up and taken away
  • Rock, concrete and old bases broken out at no extra charge
  • One price, agreed up front, with nothing added afterwards
  • A tidy site every evening and no skip left on your road
  • A five year guarantee, in writing, that transfers if you sell

Depths shown are our standard for a domestic car drive. Where there is a van, a horsebox or soft ground, we increase them and say so in the proposal rather than quietly not.

What is included

One price, and this is what is in it

A driveway price from us is one figure. It is not a starting point with a list of likely extras underneath it, and it does not move once we have shaken hands on it.

  • Your free design and the visit with samples
  • The old drive taken up and taken away
  • Rock, concrete and old bases broken out at no extra charge
  • Drainage sorted properly, so you are not left with puddles
  • Manhole covers reset or hidden under the new surface
  • Everything washed down and cleared before we leave
  • A five year guarantee certificate, in writing
On site

What a typical week looks like

  1. Day oneWe arrive when we said we would, protect the house and the access, and the old drive starts coming up.
  2. Day twoThe rest of it comes out and goes away by grab. No skip left on your road.
  3. Day threeEdges go in and the base is built up and levelled. The least interesting day and the one that decides how long it lasts.
  4. Day fourYour chosen surface goes down and it finally starts to look like the design.
  5. Day fiveDrainage connected, everything washed down, and we walk round it with you before we hand over the guarantee.

Questions

Things people ask us

Which surface lasts longest?
Properly built, all four will outlast the fashion for them. Block paving is the easiest to repair because you can lift and relay a section. Resin bound is the hardest to patch invisibly, which is an argument for getting the base right first time.
Can you lay over my existing driveway?
Sometimes, if the existing base is sound and there is enough height at the thresholds. We will core or dig a trial hole to find out rather than guess. If it is not suitable we will tell you, even though it is the cheaper job for us to sell.
What about the manhole in the middle of my drive?
Either the cover is reset to the new level, or we fit a recessed tray so the surface runs across it. On block paving the tray is usually worth the extra.
Do you do dropped kerbs?
We can carry out the crossing work where we hold the relevant street works qualification, but the licence application is made by you as the homeowner. We will point you at the right form.

Free design, free visit, free samples
