Navigating local planning rules can feel overwhelming, but we are here to make it simple. In most cases, if you are paving your front garden, you will not need planning permission provided the surface is permeable and complies with Sustainable Drainage Systems regulations. We are experts at installing compliant surfaces, such as resin-bound systems and permeable block paving, ensuring rainwater drains away naturally.If your project requires a new dropped kerb to allow vehicle access across the pavement, you will need a specific licence from Kent County Council Highways. Because we know the local Canterbury area well, including its many beautiful conservation zones, we can guide you through these requirements to ensure your installation is fully compliant from day one.

A beautiful driveway is only as good as the foundations beneath it. We never cut corners on ground preparation, as this is the most critical step to prevent your new driveway from sinking, cracking, or holding water over time. Our team begins by excavating your old surface to the correct depth, before laying and compacting a solid sub-base tailored to the specific soil conditions of your property.Once the foundation is secure, we install adequate drainage solutions where necessary and lay your chosen surface with precision. We only source high-grade materials from reputable suppliers, so you can be confident that your new driveway will stand up to heavy daily use and the unpredictable British weather.

While driveways are a core part of our business, our expertise extends far beyond the front of your property. We also design and install beautiful garden patios using natural stone and modern porcelain paving, creating the perfect outdoor entertaining space. If your project requires supporting brickwork, retaining walls, fresh turfing, or secure fencing, our multi-skilled team can handle the entire garden makeover without the need to hire multiple different contractors.
