Driveways in Hanley Swan

A Good Driveway Starts Below the Surface

If the drive outside your home in Hanley Swan has sunk, cracked or turned to loose stone, we can dig it out and lay a new one in block paving, tarmac, resin bound or gravel. Every drive we lay in Worcestershire goes down on a dug out, compacted base with drainage planned in, because that is what decides how long the surface stays level.

Most driveway failures start underneath. Blocks that sink into ruts, tarmac that cracks along the wheel tracks and gravel that disappears into the soil all point back to a base that was too thin or never compacted. We dig out to the depth your surface and your vehicles need, lay and compact a sub-base of crushed stone, and set out falls so rainwater runs to a channel or soakaway instead of towards the house.

The surface on top is your choice, and each has its own character. Block paving can be patterned and lifted for repairs. Tarmac is quick to lay and hard wearing. Resin bound leaves a smooth surface that lets rain soak through and never sheds stones, and gravel is the most affordable and drains freely. We talk through how each will look against your house and how much upkeep it needs.
