Driveway Types We Install
Resin Bound Driveways
Resin bound surfacing is a leading choice for homeowners in Surrey and London due to its aesthetic versatility and practical benefits. Created by mixing high-quality aggregates with clear resin, this surface is smooth, seamless, and SuDS compliant. This means water drains through the surface naturally, reducing flood risk and often removing the need for planning permission.
- Low maintenance and weed resistant.
- Highly durable with a typical lifespan of 15 to 25 years.
- Available in a wide variety of colours and textures.
- Permeable surface for superior drainage.
Block Paving Driveways
Block paving offers a classic, premium appearance that suits both traditional and contemporary homes. It is an incredibly versatile option, allowing for intricate patterns such as herringbone or basketweave. One of its primary advantages is practicality; if a small area is damaged or requires underground access, individual blocks can be lifted and replaced seamlessly.
- Extensive range of styles, colours, and sizes.
- Increases kerb appeal and overall property value.
- Easy to repair or modify in sections.
- Highly resistant to heavy vehicle loads.
Tarmac Driveways
Tarmac remains one of the most cost-effective and resilient driveway materials available. It is ideal for larger areas and high-traffic environments. Modern tarmac installations can be enhanced with decorative brick or stone borders to provide a more sophisticated finish while maintaining the durability the material is known for.
- Rapid installation, often completed within one to two days.
- Weather resistant and capable of withstanding extreme temperatures.
- Economical choice for long or wide driveways.
- Can be finished with decorative edgings for a bespoke look.
Gravel and Shingle Driveways
Gravel driveways provide a natural, textured aesthetic that complements period properties and rural homes. They are an affordable surfacing option and offer an added layer of home security due to the sound created when walked or driven upon. We use professional-grade sub-bases and weed membranes to ensure your gravel driveway remains stable and tidy.
- Cost-effective installation for any budget.
- Natural appearance that blends with landscaping.
- Excellent drainage properties (SuDS compliant).
- Available in various stone types, sizes, and shades.
Porcelain and Natural Stone Driveways
For a truly high-end finish, porcelain and natural stone (such as sandstone or granite) are the premier choices. Porcelain is particularly popular in South West London and Surrey for its modern, clean lines and exceptional resistance to frost and stains. These materials are incredibly hard-wearing and provide a luxury feel to any property entrance.
- Premium, contemporary aesthetic.
- Non-porous and resistant to algae and staining.
- Extremely low maintenance requirements.
- Adds significant market value to the home.
Pattern Imprinted Concrete
Pattern imprinted concrete, also known as decorative or stamped concrete, allows you to achieve the look of stone, slate, or cobbles with a continuous, solid surface. Once professionally sealed, it is highly resistant to oil spills and general wear, making it a practical choice for busy households.
- Mimics expensive materials at a lower price point.
- Solid, weed-free surface.
- Stain and oil resistant once sealed.
- Available in a vast array of patterns and colours.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new driveway cost?
Costs depend on the surface material, the size of the area, and the amount of excavation required. Generally, tarmac is the most affordable, followed by gravel, block paving, and resin. Porcelain and natural stone represent the higher end of the market. We provide fixed-price quotes following a site survey.
Do I need planning permission?
If you use a permeable surface like resin bound or gravel, or if the water drains into a lawn or border within your property, you typically do not need planning permission. We will advise you on the current legislation during our visit.
How long does the installation take?
Most residential driveways take between two and five days to complete. Factors such as weather conditions and the complexity of the groundwork can influence the timeline.
Can you repair my existing driveway?
While we specialise in full replacements, we can assess your existing driveway to see if a repair or a “resurface” (such as an overlay) is a viable and long-lasting option.
