FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our professional driveway installation, paving, and landscaping services in Canterbury.

Do I need planning permission for a new driveway in Canterbury?

+

In most cases, you don't need planning permission if you use a permeable surface like resin-bound gravel or if the water drains into a lawn or flower border. This is part of the SuDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems) rules. If you want to use a non-porous material like standard tarmac and the water runs onto the road, you might need permission. We can look at your site and tell you exactly what’s needed.

How long does it take to install a block paving driveway?

+

Most domestic driveways take between five to seven working days. This depends on the size of the area and how much excavation we need to do. We always aim to keep the disruption to your daily life as low as possible while we work.

What is the best material for a low maintenance driveway?

+

Resin-bound and tarmac are generally the easiest to look after. Resin is great because it stops weeds from growing through and doesn't have loose stones. Tarmac just needs a sweep every now and then. Block paving is also low maintenance, though it might need a quick power wash and some fresh sand in the joints every few years to keep it looking brand new.

Can you install a driveway in a conservation area?

+

Yes, we have worked on many properties within Canterbury’s conservation zones. These areas often have specific rules about the materials and colours you can use to stay in keeping with the surroundings. We can help you choose blocks or stones that satisfy the local planning officers while still giving you the look you want.

Do you offer a warranty on your workmanship?

+

We stand by everything we do. Because we use quality materials and take the time to get the foundations right, we are happy to back our work. If you have any issues after we finish, we are just a phone call away and will come out to put things right.

How much does a new driveway cost in Kent?

+

Every project is unique because the size and the amount of ground prep vary. However, we provide free, no-obligation site visits. We’ll measure up, chat about your ideas, and give you a written quote with no hidden fees so you can make an informed choice.
