Our new driveways service
A new driveway is a groundworks job with a surface on top, and most of the driveways we are called out to replace failed underneath rather than on the face. We dig out to depth, cart the spoil away, lay and compact a Type 1 sub-base, and set the edge restraints in concrete before a single block, load of tarmac or bag of gravel arrives. Levels are worked out against your doorways, airbricks and the pavement so water runs off the driveway rather than towards the house.
What is included
What you get with new driveways
Everything below is part of the quoted price rather than an extra added on afterwards.
- Full excavation and removal of the existing surface
- Compacted sub-base to suit the ground conditions and the vehicles using it
- Concrete-haunched edgings on every open edge
- Surface water taken to a channel drain, gully or soakaway
- Your choice of block paving, tarmac, gravel or resin bound as the finished surface
- Reinstatement of the edges where the driveway meets lawn, beds or path
Our process
How it works
- 01
Tell us about the job
Call, message on WhatsApp or send the quote form with your postcode and a rough idea of the area. A photo or two helps us picture it before we arrive.
- 02
We come and measure up
We visit, measure the area, check access for machinery and materials, and look at where surface water currently goes.
- 03
You get a written quote
The price is set out in writing with the materials named, so you can see exactly what you are paying for and compare it against anyone else.
- 04
We book a start date
Once you are happy, we agree a date that suits you and tell you what to expect on site, including where the skip and materials will sit.
- 05
We finish and clear up
The job is finished, the site is swept and cleared, and we walk it with you before we leave.
Why choose us
Why choose us for new driveways
- A family-run team, so you deal with the people doing the work rather than a call centre.
- The groundwork goes in before the surface, which is what decides how long the job lasts.
- Driveways, paving, walls, fencing and turf are all in-house, so the levels and finishes line up.
- A written price with the materials named, so you can compare it properly.
What affects the price
No two jobs price the same. These are the things that move it most:
- Square metres, and how much existing surface has to be lifted
- Ground conditions once the old surface is off
- Material choice and laying pattern
- The drainage solution the site needs
- Whether steps or walls form part of the same job
