Driveways in Ashford & Kent

A new driveway boosts both the usability and the value of your home. We lay driveways, paths and patios across Ashford and Kent in block paving, resin-bound, tarmac and natural stone.

A lasting driveway depends on the groundwork beneath it, so we prepare solid foundations and proper drainage — meeting SuDS requirements — before the surface goes down.

Questions

Driveways FAQs

Ask a question
Do I need planning permission for a driveway?

Usually not, provided you use permeable materials or include proper drainage. We build to meet the relevant SuDS requirements.

How long does a driveway take?

Most domestic driveways take from a few days to a couple of weeks depending on size and surface, which we confirm in your quote.

Which driveway surface is best — block paving, resin or tarmac?

Each has its place: block paving is hard-wearing and easy to repair, resin-bound gives a smart smooth finish and good drainage, and tarmac is cost-effective over larger areas. We will weigh up looks, budget and maintenance with you.

Will the new driveway drain properly?

Yes. Proper drainage is part of every driveway we lay, whether through a permeable surface or a drainage channel, so surface water is dealt with and you meet the SuDS rules.

Can you drop the kerb so I can park off-road?

A dropped kerb is arranged through the local council and uses an approved contractor for the highway section. We can advise on the process and tie the new crossover in neatly with your driveway.
