Frequently Asked Questions

We specialise in three high-quality driveway options:

• Resin bound driveways
• Block paving driveways
• Tarmac driveways

Each type is tailored to match your preferences, budget, and the character of your property.

Timeframes vary depending on the chosen surface and size of the driveway:

• Resin bound: 2–3 days
• Block paving: 5–7 days
• Tarmac: 2–3 days

We’ll provide an accurate schedule after your site survey.

Tarmac is often the most affordable upfront, especially for larger areas. However, resin bound and block paving provide excellent long-term value due to their visual appeal, longevity, and low maintenance needs.

Yes. All of our driveway surfaces are designed to cope with British weather, including heavy rain, frost, and seasonal temperature changes.

In most cases, planning permission is not required if your driveway is permeable or includes sufficient drainage. However, if you’re replacing a front garden or live in a conservation area, it’s best to check with the local council.

With correct maintenance, our surfaces typically last:

• Resin bound: 15–25 years
• Block paving: 20–30 years
• Tarmac: 15–20 years

• Resin bound: Occasional sweeping and jet washing
• Block paving: Weed removal and re-sanding every few years
• Tarmac: Occasional cleaning and resealing to extend its lifespan

We’ll give you full aftercare guidance once your installation is complete.
