1. Initial Consultation & Free Survey
We start with a free, no-obligation survey of your property. Our experts assess the site, take measurements, discuss your requirements, and recommend the best driveway type—resin, block paving, tarmac, or gravel. We also discuss design, colours, patterns, and any additional features like edging or lighting.
2. Detailed Quote & Planning
After the survey, we provide a clear, written quotation with no hidden costs and a proposed timeline. Once approved, we plan the installation process, including material sourcing and scheduling.
3. Site Preparation & Excavation
We remove any existing driveway surface, debris, or vegetation. The area is excavated to the required depth, allowing for a strong, stable base. Any drainage considerations, such as SUDS compliance for permeable surfaces, are addressed at this stage.
4. Sub-Base Installation
A robust sub-base of crushed stone or MOT Type 1 is laid and compacted to create a solid foundation. This ensures durability, prevents sinking, and provides proper drainage for the driveway.
5. Edging & Containment
Edging is installed to define the driveway boundaries and keep the surface material contained. This step is crucial for both aesthetics and long-term stability.
6. Surface Installation
- Resin Driveways: Resin and aggregates are mixed and laid evenly, creating a smooth, seamless, permeable surface.
- Block Paving: Blocks are carefully laid in the chosen pattern, and joints are filled with kiln-dried sand.
- Tarmac: Hot tarmac is laid, levelled, and compacted to create a smooth, durable finish.
- Gravel: A stabilising membrane is applied before spreading and compacting the gravel.
7. Finishing Touches
Any additional features are added, such as integrated lighting, steps, or drainage channels. The surface is checked for level, edges are tidied, and the area is cleaned to reveal the finished driveway.
8. Final Inspection & Handover
We walk through the completed project with you to ensure you are 100% satisfied. All work is backed by our 10-year guarantee, and we provide advice on maintenance to keep your driveway looking pristine for years.
