What We Install

Driveways

Block paving, tarmac, resin bound, pattern imprinted concrete, gravel and cobblestone, each built on a properly excavated and compacted sub-base with drainage designed in.

Patios

Indian sandstone, porcelain, concrete paving and block paving, laid level on a solid base with falls that carry water away from the house.

Landscaping and more

Paths, steps, edging, low walls, new lawns and turf, and panel, closeboard, picket and trellis fencing. We also clean and restore existing driveways and patios, and take on commercial work.

Planning and Dropped Kerbs in Nottinghamshire

Most new driveways do not need planning permission as long as they use a permeable surface, such as resin bound, permeable block paving or gravel, or drain onto a lawn or border. More than five square metres of impermeable surface in a front garden without suitable drainage usually does, and that goes to your borough or district council. Conservation areas can bring extra controls on front walls and boundaries.

Dropped kerbs are handled by the highway authority. Across the county that is Nottinghamshire County Council, which arranges new and extended dropped kerbs through approved contractors. Inside the city boundary, including Clifton, it is Nottingham City Council. We will flag anything you need to check at your free site survey, but always confirm with the council before work starts.

Who do I contact about a dropped kerb in Nottinghamshire?

Outside the city, Nottinghamshire County Council is responsible for the roads, so dropped kerbs are arranged through the County Council using an approved contractor. Inside the city boundary, including Clifton, it is Nottingham City Council. Homes on classified roads may also need planning permission from the local borough or district council.

Do I need planning permission for a new driveway?

Most new driveways do not, as long as they use a permeable surface or drain onto a lawn or border. More than five square metres of impermeable surface in a front garden without suitable drainage usually needs planning permission. Conservation areas can have extra controls, so check with your local council if you are unsure.

Do you charge for a site survey or take a deposit?

No to both. Site surveys and written quotations are free and come with no obligation, and there is no deposit: you pay when the work is finished. New driveway, patio and landscaping installations come with our 10-year guarantee on workmanship and materials, subject to terms and conditions.
