Scope your driveway
First of all, we’ll need to scope out the size of the project, so when you get in touch, have an idea of the answers to the following questions:
-
Are you completely redesigning the front of your house, with landscaping and a new driveway?
-
Are you completely replacing an existing driveway and starting from scratch?
-
Are you extending an existing driveway?
-
What sort of finish are you planning to use for your new driveway? This could be block paving, resin bound or tarmac.
We will need to take all of these factors into account when quoting for your driveway and preparing detailed designs and plans.
How is a new driveway installed?
The first step in the preparation of your new driveway would require us to excavate the existing surface to a required depth using our specialist machinery suitable for the size of your project.
Install a membrane
Install 150 mm type 1 crushed concrete forming a solid foundation. Please note this process is carried out in two phases, each phase is compacted separately. We then form edges in pencil curbs or as specified and install them into a new foundation.
Install your new block paving on a bed of sand and compact it down. Once completed, kiln-dried sand is then swept into the joints of your paved area, completing a stunning finish for your new driveway.
This method is consistently applied in projects throughout Harlow, Billericay, Epping, and Woodford Green, ensuring long-lasting results that withstand varied soil and weather conditions.
