Driveways

Driveway designs which are well-crafted not only to add your properties curb appeal but also, it is said, they can increase your home’s value. For most of us though, it will be a day-to-day business of getting in and out of your car with no more mud, spinning wheels or squeezing past dripping shrubs that will bring the most pleasure. Firstly it is important to think about and plan your drive. We can work closely with you to help choose the right drive for you; if you require scaled detailed plans designed or drawn we work closely with landscape designers who can cater your every need. There are many surface finishes to choose, but not all would suit your particular taste or situation i.e. is your drive on a slope, what kind of traffic it will take, will you be turning on it, drainage and soil types. All these can make a difference, so choosing the right finish is important. On larger drives drainage is important, nothing worse than looking across a drive with laying water. There are various water-permeable surfaces you can choose. Block paving is one such surface with a wide range of block colour, size, shape and laying pattern to choose from, giving a wide range of styles to go with your house and the surrounding area. There are a lot of things to consider when planning a drive, but also we believe the key thing in building the drive is the sub-base on which it’s laid. A solid well-laid base is a key to the life span of your drive! From the first stages of planning, groundworks, drainage, drive surface, gates, electrics, planting and the landscaping we can build the right drive for you on time on budget hassle free.
