Driveways, Block Paving and Property Entrances

Primary image

Bearing the demands of everyday life yet showcasing your property to the world, your driveway needs to be both durable and stylish. We understand this balance and create driveways that boast high workmanship from the depth of their foundation to the fit and finish of the landscaping.

Meeting Your Needs

We ensure that the landscaping of the entrance of your property meets the right needs, whether that might be creating space for parking or space for family life. You may want to find a balance between soft and hard landscaping and we can help you plan and design to meet your aesthetic and practical considerations.

As part of the hard landscaping, we offer the following options:

  • Concrete and clay block paving
  • Permeable block paving
  • Tarmac and natural stone
  • Stabilised gravel – read more about our gravel options

Block Paving

Block paving is a popular choice for property entrances. This page showcases various uses for paving driveways. However, block paving may also be used in gardens and other areas if desired. See the gallery in Patios and Terraces to see an example of a use in this context.

Well Thought-Out

Each job we start is done with your needs in mind. For example, one customer had a driveway leading on to a busy main road, where pulling out is very difficult.

On assessing their land, we built a turning point into their existing driveway, allowing easy turning. We used existing bricks, cleaned them and layed new edge restraint.

The photo inset shows the job in progress. One can see how the original entrance was adapted from the former shape to include a new turning point.

To see further examples of our work, view the gallery to the right.

Laying the Right Foundations

Your driveway should be built to support the demands of human and vehicular traffic for many years to come. We have seen too often the result of cowboys where hasily laid bricks have lead quickly to subsidence and dismay.

It is highly important to install paving upon a strong, well established foundation. We lay our sub base according to high standards and the results pay – we can offer up to a 10 year guarantee. See more about how we lay the foundations.

We are experts at installing quality driveways and take great pride in every aspect of the project from initial survey to completion.
