Frequently Asked Questions

We specialise in the following three driveway surfaces, each suited to different property types, preferences, and budgets:

• Resin bound driveways
• Block paving driveways
• Tarmac driveways

Each surface offers its own benefits in terms of durability, style, and long-term maintenance.

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

• Resin bound: 2 to 3 days
• Block paving: 5 to 7 days
• Tarmac: 2 to 3 days
  We will confirm your exact schedule after conducting a full site survey.

Tarmac is generally the most budget-friendly choice, particularly for larger driveways. However, block paving and resin bound options provide excellent long-term value due to their attractive finish, low maintenance needs, and longevity.

Yes. All our driveway systems are built to endure the varied British climate, including heavy rain, frosts, and seasonal temperature changes.

In most residential cases, no planning permission is required—particularly if the driveway is made from a permeable material or includes adequate drainage. For listed buildings or major changes to front gardens, we recommend checking with your local authority.

With proper care, you can expect the following lifespans:

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

• Resin bound: Occasional sweeping and light power washing
• Block paving: Weed removal and re-sanding of joints every few years
• Tarmac: Minimal upkeep, though periodic resealing can prolong the surface lifespan

We’ll provide tailored aftercare guidance for your specific surface.

• Resin bound: Walkable after 24 hours; vehicles after 48–72 hours
• Block paving: Pedestrian use is immediate; wait 24–48 hours before driving
• Tarmac: Foot traffic after a few hours; vehicle access after 24–48 hours
