Do I need planning permission for a new driveway?

Usually not, provided the surface is permeable or the rainwater is directed to drain into your garden rather than onto the road. A large area of solid, non-permeable surface that drains to the public highway can need permission, so drainage is designed in from the start to keep within the rules.

What is the best material for a driveway?

Block paving, resin-bound and tarmac all make good driveways; the right one depends on looks, budget and upkeep. Block paving is hard-wearing and easy to repair, resin gives a smooth permeable finish, and tarmac is cost-effective over larger areas. Whichever you choose, the groundwork underneath matters most.

How long does it take to lay a driveway?

A typical domestic driveway takes a few days to a week, depending on the size, the amount of excavation and the surface chosen. Most of the time goes into the dig-out, sub-base and drainage, which is exactly the part that decides whether the drive stays level and lasts.

Most driveway problems, the sinking, the weeds, the puddles, come from a foundation that was rushed. We take the time to prepare the ground properly, because that is what decides whether a drive still looks good in ten years.

We will talk you through the surfaces, how they compare on cost, maintenance and looks, and help you choose the one that suits your home and how you use it.
