We raise the standard when building you a
driveway! What you see on top will look fabulous
thanks to the tremendous designs we have in
our range, the quality of the blocks themselves,
the detailing and, of course, the attention we
take from design to construction.
But what you do not see is eqully important - in
fact, probably more so. Enormous care goes into
the design, preparation and construction of the
foundations for your driveway. Building it
properly means that it will be able to handle
surface and storm water in line with planning
regulations. Ensuring that the base and subbase
are stong enough, level enough and
properly compacted to our own rigidly laid down
standards means a driveway that is more stable,
stronger and less prone to subsidence, even
after years of use.
Every member of our team of advisers, designers
and installers is dedicated to ensuring that your
driveway exceeds every requirement and
expectation.
The new legislation that has been introduced to
tackle the issues of flooding and other
environmental concerns mean you may need
planning permission for some situations and
types of new driveway and will always need to
ensure that surface water can drain away
efficiently without contributing to flood risks.
As leaders in the field, we confront this issue in
two ways that each take into account the type of
soil you have and the design of your drive:
namely by constructing you an efficient
soakaway that is big enough to cope with your
surface water, even in a heavy storm, or by using
our remarkable new Porlock permeable blocks
that, in line with SUDS, allow rain water to pass
straight into the prepared sub-surface below,
reducing the risk of flooding.
Using the latest technology and expert insights within the groundscaping industry, our dedicated groundscape team can offer you a range of options to enhance your property to.
