Driveways for Herts Homes

A driveway carries the weight of a car every day and is the first thing a visitor sees, so the surface you pick matters. The business builds and looks after driveways for homes in Stevenage, Hitchin, Letchworth Garden City and the villages in between.

You can choose block paving, resin bound, tarmac or gravel, and each comes with its own look, cost and level of upkeep. Advice is based on your levels, your access and how many cars need to park, so the recommendation fits the house rather than a brochure.

Already have a drive you like that looks tired or has sunk in places? Cleaning and repair work can bring an existing surface back into shape, and you can send photos on WhatsApp first to get an idea of what is needed before anyone visits.

Driveways FAQs

Driveway Questions Answered

Which Driveway Surface Is Best for My Home?

It depends on how you use the drive, the style of the house and what you want to spend. Block paving offers patterns and easy spot repairs, resin bound gives a smooth porous finish, tarmac suits larger areas, and gravel tends to cost least. Seeing the site helps narrow the choice.

Do I Need Planning Permission for a Driveway?

In England, a new front driveway larger than five square metres generally needs planning permission unless it uses a permeable surface or rainwater is directed to a soakaway or another permeable area on your property. Your local council can confirm the rules for your address, and the survey will flag which options are likely to comply.

Do I Need a Dropped Kerb for My Driveway?

If cars cross the pavement to reach your drive, the council normally requires a dropped kerb, also called a vehicle crossover. In Stevenage and the rest of the county you apply to Hertfordshire County Council as the highways authority. Check this before committing to the work, as parking without a legal crossing can cause problems.

Can I Mix Two Driveway Surfaces?

Yes. Combining materials is common, such as a block paved border around resin or tarmac, or a strip of setts at the entrance to a gravel drive. A contrasting edge frames the surface and can hide the join where two areas meet, and ideas for combinations can be shared at the survey.

Which Areas Do You Cover for Driveways?

Work is based around Stevenage and covers much of Hertfordshire, including Hitchin, Letchworth Garden City, Welwyn Garden City, Hertford, Ware, Hatfield, St Albans, Harpenden, Royston and Bishop's Stortford. Jobs also reach into Bedfordshire, Essex and north London, with towns such as Luton, Bedford and Loughton. Call 01438 487210 to check your address.
