Paving & Hardscaping

Driveways

A driveway is the most heavily loaded surface on most properties and the first thing anyone sees. It has to carry weight, shed water and look deliberate.

We design the build-up around the vehicle loading and subsoil, then install with correct falls, channel drainage where needed, and a defined edge detail at gates and garages.

How should a driveway be designed around vehicles?

Identify cars, visitors and delivery vehicles, then check turning space, gate clearance and the gradient. A paved driveway should connect cleanly to the road, garage and pedestrian entrance. Vehicle loads and manoeuvring affect the base and surface choice; residential use should not be assumed where deliveries are frequent.

What should a driveway drainage assessment cover?

Trace water from the street and higher ground as well as rainfall on the drive itself. Agree channel drainage, thresholds and outlets before surfacing. For a business entrance, include access staging in the quotation so driveway installation does not leave deliveries or pedestrians without an agreed route.
