The exterior of your home plays a vital role in deciding the estate value of your property. It should also be visually pleasing for you, your family, and your guests.

They are also highly useful as you get a comfortable spot for parking your vehicle right next to your home. We are an experienced construction company providing driveway services to households and businesses. Our certified and skilled engineers can build driveways from several different materials, most of which are quite common in the UK. These include tarmacadam, asphalt, block paving, resin bound, cobblestones, and others.
Our driveway specialists in Sidmouth can build incredibly pleasing resin-bound driveways. Resin has lately become famous as a surfacing material. Resin-bound driveways are a combination of natural or artificial aggregates and polyurethane resin. The aggregates are available in several varieties and numerous colours. The resin creates a highly flexible and smooth surface, while the aggregates give your driveway a unique touch. They are applied in such a way that aggregates do not become loose with time and form a uniform surface. These driveways offer high resistance to weather. Water has no effect on them, and they are also resistant to cracks.
One of the most common and famous surfacing material for driveways and other landscaping projects are Block pavers. Available in a large variety of sizes, shapes, designs, and colours, block pavers are highly resistant to wear & tear. You will find them in every other home in the UK as they are easy to install and easy to maintain. Our driveway contractors in offer you a large variety of block pavers to choose from. You can make your own design or take ideas from our completed projects available on our website.
Tarmacadam is so cheap that it is a preferred surfacing material for large areas, including runways. However, do not confuse its affordability with its quality. It is used in such abundance that its prices are low. It forms a black uniform layer over your driveways in which lasts for over 20 years. The surface does not crack easily and can withstand heavy loads.
The most unique and elegant driveways are cobblestone driveways. The aesthetic appeal they give to your home is unrivalled. You can choose from a large variety of natural aggregates in different colours and shapes. They are typically made from granite but also use other natural stones such as limestone and basalt. They cost more than most of the other materials but also last much longer.
Gravel and concrete are very common materials. For building driveways, you can use decorative gravel, which is multicoloured and is available in different sizes. Concrete driveways are cheap to build and are highly durable.
