1. Quote, Design & Plan

Upon receiving your enquiry, we will schedule a convenient time for an initial consultation, during which we will assess the area and discuss your specific requirements.

Following the consultation, we will proceed with the design and planning of your project. We will then provide you with a fixed quotation based on your selected surface type.

Once you have accepted the quotation, we will handle any necessary permits and identify any potential services (such as gas, electricity, or water) that may need to be addressed before excavation.

Finally, we will coordinate a suitable start date for the work to begin.

2. Excavation

Once the work begins, the first step is to excavate the area, ensuring a minimum depth of 300mm. This guarantees that your driveway or surface will remain stable and free from sinking.

All waste materials will be efficiently removed from the site using a grab lorry or directly loaded onto a vehicle, eliminating the need for skips.

3. Preparation

The preparation stage begins with the installation of a weed control membrane, preventing weed growth and helping to stabilise the ground.

Next, we lay the first layer of clean Type 1 recycled hardcore, which is compacted in layers using specialised machinery to ensure a solid foundation beneath your chosen surface. This process is crucial in preventing sinking and cracking.

Following this, we install the edging, selecting either blocks or kerbs based on your preferences. These are securely laid and backed with a strong concrete mix to ensure stability and cohesion.

Finally, we add the top layer of compacted Type 1 stone, providing a base thickness of at least 200mm to support the durability and longevity of your surface.

4. Installation

Once the area has been fully prepared, we proceed with the installation of your chosen surface finish.

The process will vary depending on the type of surface selected for your driveway or patio. However, generally, we will infill the area to create a high-quality, level, and durable surface.
