Frequently Asked Questions

Helpful answers for homeowners comparing driveways.

What is the best type of driveway for my home?
The best driveway depends on your budget, style and maintenance preferences. Block paving offers a premium appearance, resin bound provides a smooth permeable finish, tarmac is durable and cost-effective, while gravel remains one of the cheapest options. A local driveway specialist can recommend the most suitable solution for your property.
Do I need planning permission for a new driveway?
In many cases, planning permission isn't required if the driveway uses permeable materials or provides suitable drainage. However, some properties may require approval, particularly if water drains onto the public highway. Your driveway installer should advise you before work begins.
What's the difference between resin bound and resin bonded driveways?
Resin bound driveways mix aggregate and resin together before laying, creating a smooth, permeable surface. Resin bonded driveways scatter aggregate onto a resin-coated base, producing a textured finish that is generally non-permeable.
What paving is best for patios?
Popular patio paving options include Indian sandstone, porcelain paving, limestone, concrete slabs and natural stone. The right choice depends on your preferred style, budget and intended use.
Does a new driveway add value to a property?
A well-designed driveway can improve kerb appeal, increase off-road parking and make a property more attractive to buyers, potentially adding value to your home.
