Scope your driveway

• First of all we’ll need to scope out the size of 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.

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 installed 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
