Concrete driveway
Concrete driveways have become old fashioned these days and are mainly now used as imprinted concrete to make it appear like block paving.
Please note we do not do imprinted concrete drives, if you want your drive imprinted to look like block paving then have it block paved.
Gravel-Shingle driveways
Gravel-Shingle is an attractive alternative for driveways.
Gravel-Shingle driveways do not need to be very deep; a depth of 75 mm (3 inches) is usually sufficient for driveways and paths. Additional gravel can be added at a later date if required.
Tyres on drives tend to pick up 10 mm gravel, so it is recommended to use a minimum size of 20 mm gravel for driveways.
Tarmac Drives
Tarmac Drives
Tarmacadam, which is often (incorrectly) referred to as Tarmac™ is perfect for areas taking traffic such as roads, driveways and forecourts, and can also be used for paths, playgrounds etc.
The topping finish can even be coloured, several colours are available if requested.
Block Paving
Block paving
A new Block paved driveway can revolutionise the look and enhance the general aesthetic of your home.
Your new Block paved driveway can be both functional and decorative.
Block paving also known as brick paving is a commonly used decorative method of creating a pavement or hardstanding. The main benefit of bricks over other materials is that individual bricks can later be lifted up and replaced. This allows for remedial work to be carried out under the surface of the paving without leaving a lasting mark once the paving bricks have been replaced. Typical areas of use would be for driveways, pavement, patios, town centres, pedestrian precincts and more commonly in road surfacing.
There are hundreds of different design combinations you can choose from using block paving layout and colours.
