1. Quote, Design & Plan

After the initial consultation where we will measure the area and discuss your requirements, we will go away and design/plan your project. We will also provide you with a fixed quotation price, for the surface type you chose.

Once you’ve accepted our quote, we then arrange any permits needed and outline all of the services we may come across prior to excavation (Gas, Electric, Water)

We will then agree a convenient date for work to commence.

2. Excavation

Once work commences the first stage is to excavate the area, this is always done to a minimum specification of at least 300mm, ensuring that your driveway or surface will never sink.

All of the waste produced will be taken from site via a grab lorry or loaded on to a lorry eliminating the need for skips.

3. Prepare

The preparation stage begins with us installing a weed control membrane to stop weeds from coming through, which also helps stabilise the ground.

Then we will install the first layer of clean, type 1 limestone which we compact into layers using compaction machinery, ensuring the ground beneath your chosen hard surface is properly prepared. This keeps your surface from sinking and cracking.

Next we install the edgings for your surface, we will either use blocks or kerbs depending on what you have chosen. These are laid and backed using a strong concrete mix which will hold your area together.

Now is time for the final layer of compacted type 1 stone to be added. Giving you a minimum of at least 200mm of stone base!

4. Install

Once the area has been fully prepped it’s now time for the surface to be installed.

The process now depends on the type of surface you have chosen for your driveway or patio, but in general we will infill the area leaving you with a quality, level, durable surface.
