Types of Driveway We Install

From modern resin finishes to classic block paving — we install every popular driveway type across Essex.

Resin bound driveway in Chelmsford

Resin Bound Driveways

Smooth, fully permeable and exceptionally low maintenance. Resin bound driveways are SUDS compliant (no planning permission required for most front gardens), weed resistant and available in a wide range of aggregate colours and sizes — from natural gravel tones to modern silver and gold blends.

Block paving driveway in Essex

Block Paving Driveways

A classic, versatile choice available in a huge range of colours, sizes and laying patterns (herringbone, basket weave, stretcher bond). Block paving is incredibly durable, can be lifted for utility access and repaired section by section if ever damaged. It adds undeniable kerb appeal and character to any home.

Tarmac driveway in Essex

Tarmac & Macadam

A cost-effective, long-lasting surface ideal for larger driveways. Modern tarmac (macadam) provides a clean, professional finish and can be complemented with block paving borders or edging channels for a premium look. Quick to install and ready to use within 24 hours.

Driveway with dropped kerb in Essex

Dropped Kerbs & Crossovers

Planning a new driveway access from a public road? We manage the entire dropped kerb and crossover process, including working with the local council, groundwork, reinstatement and matching the footpath finish. Full turn-key service from initial application through to completion.

Driveway drainage in Essex

Drainage & Channel Gullies

Effective drainage is critical to any driveway. We install ACO channel drains, gullies and linear drainage systems where required, ensuring surface water is properly managed and directed away from your property and the public highway.

Driveway edging and borders in Essex

Edging, Borders & Kerbing

The finishing details make the difference. We install bull-nosed kerb edging, granite sett borders and decorative banding to frame and elevate your driveway — giving a structured, professional finish that enhances the overall aesthetic of your property.

Driveway Installation — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between resin bound and resin bonded driveways?
Resin bound driveways mix the aggregate and resin together before laying, creating a smooth, fully permeable surface that is SUDS compliant. Resin bonded driveways apply resin to the existing surface then scatter loose aggregate over the top — the result is a rougher texture and is not permeable. We typically recommend resin bound for its durability, appearance and drainage compliance.
How long does a driveway installation take?
A standard residential driveway typically takes between 2 and 4 days depending on size, existing surface condition and the material chosen. Block paving and resin bound are both achievable within a working week for most properties. We'll confirm a schedule during your free quote visit.
Do I need planning permission for a new driveway?
For most properties, no — provided the new surface is permeable (such as resin bound or gravel) or directs run-off to a lawned area. If you're installing an impermeable surface over 5 square metres in a front garden, planning permission may be required. We'll advise you fully during consultation.
How much does a new driveway cost in Essex?
Driveway costs vary with size, material and site conditions. Resin bound driveways typically start from around £50–£80 per m². Block paving is often slightly higher due to the more labour-intensive laying process. We provide transparent, fixed-price quotes — contact us for a free estimate.
How long will a resin bound driveway last?
A professionally installed resin bound driveway using UV-stable resin and quality aggregate should last 15–25 years with minimal maintenance. Regular sweeping and an occasional wash keeps it looking its best. Avoid parking vehicles with sharp turning movements on very hot days in the first few months after installation.
Can you relay an existing block paving driveway?
Yes. If your existing block paving has a sound sub-base but the surface has become uneven or stained, we can lift, re-bed and re-lay the existing blocks. Where blocks are beyond restoration, we can supply new matching or complementary paving. We'll assess and advise at the free quote stage.
