What is the best type of driveway for my home?

The best driveway depends on your budget, property style, and maintenance preferences.

Popular options include:

-Resin bound driveways – modern, permeable, and low maintenance

-Block paving – stylish, durable, and available in many patterns

-Tarmac driveways – cost-effective and long-lasting

-Gravel driveways – affordable and quick to install

We help homeowners choose the best option based on appearance, durability, and budget.

How long does a driveway installation take?

Most driveway installations take 2–5 days depending on:

-The size of the driveway

-The type of material used

-Weather conditions

-Ground preparation requirements

Larger or more complex projects may take slightly longer.

Do I need planning permission for a new driveway?

In most cases, planning permission is not required if the driveway surface allows water to drain naturally or into a suitable drainage system.

Permeable surfaces such as resin bound or gravel usually meet drainage regulations. If planning rules apply, we will advise you before starting the project.

How long will a new driveway last?

A professionally installed driveway can last 15–25 years or more depending on the material and maintenance.

Typical lifespans:

Resin bound: 20–25 years

Block paving: 20+ years

Tarmac: 15–20 years

Proper installation and occasional maintenance help extend the lifespan.
