Drives
A good looking driveway can make a huge
difference to the way a house looks and often makes the
actual area appear bigger than before. The key is to
make the design and choice of materials (colour, texture,
shape and pattern) work with the appearance of the house so
that it appears part of it and not something added later
without much thought. But don't take our word for it,
have a look at our 'Drive Gallery' and see for yourself.
Block paving is not just attractive, when it it is laid
correctly it is very durable and is the surface preferred by
most architects, builders, designers and developers for
their most prestigious projects.
When planning your new driveway don't forget kerbs!
They can make a big difference to the overall appearance as
well as making a clear divide between the drive and the
garden/lawn. Some of the many different kerbs designs
ands styles/colours are featured at the bottom of this page.
First impressions count -
our driveways always impress
To provide your with some idea of the different
materials available for your new drive we have shown some of
the ones available below. Please contact us to discuss
your requirements and any specific ideas you might have and
we can offer some advice as well as showing you some larger
pictures of the various pavers available.
One important point to bear in mind is the 80/20 rule.
That is the cost of installation is approximately 80%
preparation and 20% on materials. So, it is advisable
to choose the best quality materials you can afford -
exactly what you like.
Finally, take time to consider your driveway at night.
There are many different drivelights now available which
provide a subtle and reassuring guide into your property and
to your door. they are simple to install, low
maintenance, weatherproof and have a very low running cost.
