It’s good practice to provide maintenance to your driveway usually in the form of regular sweeping, jet washing and the occasional sanding.

Unlike block paved or concrete driveways, tarmac can be laid directly onto any existing surface, whereas the other materials require a full depth bedding layer before work can even begin.

Tarmac is renowned for being easy to maintain as regular jet washing should be all that’s needed to keep it looking great and functioning effectively.

The life expectancy of a resin bound driveway is over 15 years, but you could get more than this if it has been properly maintained.

You’ll see it used in shopping centres and pedestrian areas where it provides practical, long lasting attractive paving and it has been a popular driveway option for homeowners for many years. Permeable block paving reduces surface run-off water by allowing it to drain between the blocks and into the sub-base.

As a completely natural and fully recyclable material tarmac can be considered one of the most environmentally friendly methods of surfacing available.

We are a licenced waste carrier and always dispose of rubbish correctly and legally, recycling all materials where possible.

We say your new resin bound system is weed resistant rather than weed free. Whilst nothing will grow up through the surface, air born seedlings may land on top, causing a small amount of growth. We recommend applying a weed killer once or twice a year if this should happen.

We can install virtually any type of patio using a wide range of materials from traditional patio slabs and setts through to porcelain, granite, and Indian Sandstone.

We always try to keep noise and disruption to a minimum and your garden will be kept as tidy as possible throughout the project. Once finished, we remove all rubbish from site and dispose of it correctly, re-cycling materials where possible.

Resin bound is an eco-friendly, highly porous solution for ground surfacing. It is a choice of decorative aggregates mixed with specialist resins then hand trowelled to give a smooth flat surface suitable for driveways, paths, and patios.

Resin bond is laid in a different manner to resin bound materials. It involves applying a layer of resin to the existing surface to which aggregates are then scattered on top of. This gives a non-porous surface, which has a coarser finish and leaves a certain amount of loose stone on the final surface.

On average, the lifespan of tarmac is between 12 and 15 years before it will need to be replaced or undergo major repair work. Through years of heavy use and exposure to the elements, minor repairs to cracks and potholes may need to be completed, however other than this, very little maintenance work is required.

Depending on the materials used and the quality of installation, a professionally installed patio will last for many years if properly maintained. We give a 10-year guarantee on all our patio installations.

Costs will vary depending on the size of your drive, materials used, any necessary base work, patterns and used extras such as edging, steps or drainage. No two block paving projects are the same.

Gravel has been used as a driveway material for years and it’s not hard to see why. It’s strong, long lasting, weatherproof, natural and provides an attractive entranceway to your home. It adds an extra layer of security as you cannot cross a gravel drive quietly.

Block paving professionally laid on a subbase is stronger than concrete itself. You could expect it to last a lifetime if due care is taken with your driveway in the form of regular maintenance.

Using a membrane underneath your gravel drive or path will prevent weeds whilst allowing natural elements to permeate through the soil but it is not absolutely necessary.
