The time it takes to install a new driveway can vary quite a bit. For an average-sized driveway, the work might take anywhere from 3 to 7 days. It really depends on the size of your driveway, the type of paving material you choose (block paving, resin, etc.), how much preparation work is needed for the ground, and even the weather! We always aim to complete every project efficiently without compromising on the quality of our workmanship. We'll give you a more accurate timescale when we provide your free quote.

Proper preparation is absolutely key for a driveway that lasts for years. The first step is to excavate the existing surface and soil to the correct depth. Then, we install a solid sub-base, usually using Type 1 MOT hardcore, which is compacted down thoroughly. This strong foundation prevents sinking and movement. We also install any necessary drainage and edge restraints before the final paving surface goes down. This careful ground work is part of the professional service we offer.

There isn't one "best" material for every driveway; it depends on your budget, the look you want, and how you use your drive.

• Block Paving: Very popular, durable, lots of colours and designs. Individual blocks can be replaced if damaged.
• Resin Bound: Modern, smooth, permeable (water drains through), wide choice of colours.
• Tarmac: A cost-effective and durable option, often quicker to install.
• Gravel: Good for a more traditional look and offers good drainage, but can need more maintenance.
• Natural Stone: A premium option offering unique beauty and fantastic durability.
  We can discuss the pros and cons of each during your free design consultation and help you choose the best option for your specific project.

The amount of maintenance your new driveway will need depends on the material.

• Resin bound driveways are very low maintenance, usually just needing a sweep and an occasional wash.
• Block paving might need occasional weeding between the blocks and a clean every so often. Sealing can reduce this.
• Tarmac is also quite low maintenance.
  We always provide advice on how to best look after your specific type of driveway to keep it looking great for many years. Quality installation from the start, using good materials, will always reduce future problems.

The cost of a new driveway is based on several things: the size of the area, the paving material you select, the amount of ground preparation work required (e.g., if we need to remove an old driveway first), and any special design features or drainage you want. Because every project is different, we always offer a free, no-obligation site survey and detailed quotation. This way, you get an accurate price specific to your driveway, with no hidden surprises.
