Chislehurst's tree-lined streets and spacious plots present unique opportunities for impressive driveway designs. Many properties here feature sweeping curves leading to substantial homes, requiring careful planning to balance aesthetics with practical vehicle access. From Royal Parade's period properties to modern developments near Elmstead Woods, each installation demands consideration of existing architecture, gradient challenges, and those magnificent mature trees that make BR7 so distinctive.
Installing driveways involves far more than laying surface materials. Ground preparation begins with excavation to proper depths, followed by sub-base installation using MOT Type 1 aggregate, compacted in layers for stability. Drainage channels prevent water pooling - particularly crucial given Chislehurst's clay soil composition. Edge restraints lock everything in place before your chosen surface material creates the finished appearance, whether that's permeable resin bound aggregate, traditional block paving, or contemporary porcelain.
Twenty years of enhancing Chislehurst properties means understanding which materials weather best alongside London clay and mature tree roots. Local knowledge proves invaluable when navigating planning considerations for conservation areas or addressing the specific drainage requirements common to BR7's varied topography.

Often, yes - particularly if the substrate remains sound without major cracking or movement. Resin overlays work brilliantly over stable concrete or tarmac, offering cost-effective transformation. A site assessment determines whether resurfacing suits your specific situation.
