A driveway is as much part of your home’s kerb appeal as it is a practical place to park. We design and install bespoke driveways across Somerset, Devon and the wider South West from our base at Foxmore Business Park, Wellington, TA21 9RF.
Whether you want a classic block-paved entrance, a contemporary resin finish, a cost-effective tarmac surface or a durable concrete drive, we help you choose the right material for your property, budget and drainage requirements — then build it properly from the ground up.
Our driveway finishes
Every surface has different strengths. We will talk through access, existing levels, drainage, colour and maintenance before quoting. All our driveways start with correct excavation and a compacted sub-base — see our groundworks page for site preparation.
Block paving
One of the most popular driveway finishes in the UK. Concrete or clay blocks are laid on a sand bed over a compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base, with kerbs or edgings to hold the pattern in place.
- Wide choice of colours, textures and laying patterns
- Individual blocks can be replaced if damaged
- Suits traditional and modern properties
- Permeable options available for surface-water drainage (SUDS)
Resin
Resin-bound and resin-bonded surfaces give a smooth, contemporary look with minimal upkeep — increasingly popular for driveways across Somerset.
Resin bound
Natural aggregate mixed with UV-stable resin and trowelled flat. Water drains through the surface.
- Seamless finish with many aggregate colour blends
- Weed-resistant and easy to sweep
- Ideal for drives, paths and turning areas
Resin bonded
Resin applied to the base with loose aggregate scattered on top for a textured, gritted appearance.
- Excellent grip on slopes
- Decorative stone finish with strong kerb appeal
Tarmac
Asphalt is a practical, hard-wearing choice for larger driveways and farm tracks. A bitumen-bound wearing course is laid over a compacted stone sub-base.
- Cost-effective for bigger areas and long runs
- Quick to install compared with hand-laid paving
- Durable with a correctly built sub-base
- Classic black finish with kerb detailing
Concrete
Exceptional durability when poured on a well-prepared base with control joints to manage movement.
Plain & brushed
Economical, clean-lined finish with brushed or floated textures for grip.
- Low maintenance
- Suits large, open drives
Pattern imprinted
Decorative patterns and colours pressed into the surface before it sets.
- Can mimic stone, slate or cobble
- Sealed after installation to protect colour
