Keston's mix of period homes and modern builds presents unique challenges for driveway projects. The leafy streets around Fishponds Road and Heathfield often feature properties with sweeping frontages that need careful planning. Local clay soil conditions and mature tree roots require specific preparation techniques. Many homeowners here are moving away from basic concrete towards permeable surfaces that complement their property's character.
Proper groundwork forms the backbone of any lasting driveway. Excavation depth varies depending on your chosen surface - typically 250mm for block paving, deeper for heavy vehicle use. Adequate drainage channels prevent water pooling, particularly important given Keston's sloping terrain. Sub-base compaction using MOT Type 1 aggregate creates the stable foundation essential for preventing future settlement or cracking.
