Driveway installation
We specialise in bespoke driveway installations using block paving, tarmac, gravel, and concrete. Our process includes a free site assessment, foundation preparation with Type 1 MOT, and kiln-dried sand jointing for durability. Customers can choose from a range of designs and materials, with installations completed in 24 days depending on complexity. All projects include a 5-year guarantee.
Patio construction
Our patio services include Indian sandstone, granite, and slabbed areas tailored to client preferences. We incorporate drainage systems, edgings, and decorative patterns, with options for low-maintenance or seasonal gardens. Installations are completed within 34 days, using high-quality materials and techniques to ensure longevity and aesthetic appeal.
Garden landscaping
We transform gardens with lawns, pathways, retaining walls, and wooden fencing. Services include artificial grass installation, hedge trimming, and custom-shaped seating areas. Our team uses natural stone, concrete, and railway sleepers to create year-round attractive spaces, focusing on both functionality and visual appeal.
Block paving
Block paving driveways and patios are installed with precision, using patterns and colours to enhance property aesthetics. We employ a strict process involving foundation preparation, membrane sheeting, and kiln-dried sand for jointing. Options include cobblestones and concrete blocks, with a focus on durability and minimal maintenance.
Tarmac driveways
Tarmac driveway installations feature a new base foundation and optional borders for enhanced durability. We recommend edgings to box in the surface and improve visual appeal. Projects typically take 2 days for standard 2-car driveways, with a focus on compliance with SUDS regulations for permeability.
