What makes a driveway last
A driveway carries the weight of cars every day, so the excavation depth, sub-base and edge restraints matter more than the surface you see. Most sinking and rutting comes from a shallow or poorly compacted base.
We explain the surfaces, check drainage and the dropped kerb position, then dig out, build the base and lay the surface with edging and channels as needed.
Larger Hayes plots allow wider drives, turning areas and borders, often with gates or lighting.

Materials & possibilities
Choosing a driveway surface
Each surface has a different look, cost and maintenance.
Drainage rules for driveways
Since 2008, new front driveways over five square metres must be permeable or drain into the garden. We design every driveway to meet this, using permeable surfaces, soakaways or channel drains.
