Ask a questionWhy York homeowners choose us
Built properly, from the ground up
The part of a driveway you never see is the part that decides how long it lasts.
Proper groundwork
We dig out to a suitable depth for the surface and use, then lay and compact a sub-base in layers — the foundation for paving that stays level.
Drainage planned in
Much of York sits on heavy Vale of York clay that holds water. We plan falls, channel drains, soakaways or permeable surfaces so water goes where it should.
Paving + fencing together
Driveway, path, patio, fence and gate designed as one, in materials that match — no mismatched contractors.
Clear written quotes
An itemised quote that explains what’s included, the materials we’ll use and how long the job should take.
Straight-talking advice
We’ll tell you if a cheaper option will do the job, and whether you might need council permission for kerbs or boundaries.
Respect for your home
Sites kept safe and tidy during the job, with waste removed and everything swept and cleaned at the end.

Choosing a driveway surface
Block paving vs resin vs natural stone
A quick, honest comparison to help you start thinking about what suits your home.
| Feature | Block paving | Resin bound | Natural stone / porcelain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Driveways that take daily traffic; classic or contemporary looks | Seamless, modern finish on driveways and paths | Patios, paths and feature areas |
| Drainage | Permeable block options available | Permeable when laid on a suitable porous base | Needs falls and drainage designed in |
| Repairs | Individual blocks can be lifted and relaid | Patch repairs possible but harder to colour-match | Individual slabs can be replaced |
| Upkeep | Occasional weeding and re-sanding of joints | Regular brushing; occasional jet wash | Periodic cleaning; porcelain is very low-maintenance |

Do I need planning permission for a new front driveway?
In England, if a new or replacement front driveway is over 5 square metres, it generally needs to be permeable (or drain onto a lawn or border within your property) to avoid needing planning permission. We design to these rules. A new or widened dropped kerb needs approval from City of York Council.
Can you do the fencing and paving as one job?
Yes — that’s exactly what we’re set up for. Combining a driveway, path, patio, fence or gate into one project usually saves time and gives a far more consistent finish.
How long does a new driveway take?
It depends on size, surface and groundwork, so we’ll give you an estimated timescale in your quote. Weather can affect paving and resin work, and we’ll always keep you updated.
Do I need a dropped kerb for a new driveway?
Usually, yes, if you are creating a new access or making an existing one wider. In York you apply to City of York Council before any work on the pavement. Our dropped kerbs and driveway widening page explains how it works.
