Kent Driveways

We are a leading Kent Driveways specialist and offer a large variety of options for your Driveway or Patio.

A beautiful new block paved, gravel or tarmac driveway will enhance the look of your home more than nearly any other feature and can even add value to your home.

Block Paving is the most popular option for driveways or patios nowadays and there are a huge variety of materials, colours and designs to choose from and we can work with you to design your dream paved driveways or patio according to your needs and requirements.

The other popular choices apart from paved driveways that are also sturdy and look great are resin driveways, tarmac driveways.

Take a look at our Gallery page to see some of the Driveways in Sittingbourne, Medway, Maidstone and the rest of Kent that we have done.

One of the most important factors to consider when choosing your driveway or patio type is the stone or brick that will be used – when Block paving started to become popular 25 years ago there were few options to go for – basically it was between clay bricks or concrete blocks and then you would choose from a small variety of colours that they came in. However in the 21st century the most preferred types are the resin bonded driveways. Installation of resin driveways does not involve any excavation and is done more quickly.
Another most important benefit that a resin driveway has over the driveway paving style is the versatility it offers in terms of designs, colours and even budget.

Today things have moved on somewhat as there is a myriad of bricks and blocks to choose from – in fact well over 1000 different options are available here in the UK. Here are some of the decisions that you will have to make – but don’t worry, we will help you whenever you need it and give our best advice to you so you will end up with the driveway or patio that you have always wanted.

Drop Kerbs

admin — Tue, 07 Jun 2022 10:59:34 +0000

We are a Kent Highways Approved vehicle crossings contractor and one of only 7 Medway Vehicle Crossings (drop kerb} approved contractors in the county. That means that we are approved to put in a Vehicle Crossing (drop kerb) anywhere in Kent subject to the necessary consents.

This means that if your driveway contractor is not approved and you need a drop kerb putting in, they will have to sub-contract that work out to a company like ours that is approved – and that only means more aggravation and inconvenience to you, often ending up with inflated prices that you needn’t have had by dealing with an approved contractor like us from the outset.

Brick Block Paving For Your Driveway Or Patio

When you are making a decision about a driveway or a patio, one of the most obvious things to consider is the type of material that you are going to use. There are a number of different choices, such as resin-bonded surfaces, coloured concrete, concrete pave stones, natural stone, veneer stone, and so on, but many people opt for brick block paving.

Brick block paving can really look great because you can have bricks in different colours mixed in whatever way you wish, and they can be set at different angles too.

Weight Of Traffic

One of the most important considerations for a driveway is the weight of the traffic it has to take. Pretty much anything will take the weight of a single car, but brick blocks can withstand a considerable amount of weight if, say, you have a small lorry for business purposes that you need to park.

Another benefit is that if a brick block gets damaged for any reason, it is a simple matter to take it out and replace it with another one.

Brick blocks are also porous. What that means is that they will absorb rain and it will filter through, so you don’t get puddles lying on your driveway. In addition, there is another benefit, and that is that you don’t need to get planning permission to use brick block paving, which you do with some other materials.
