New Driveway Installations
A new driveway can transform the front of a home. There is a wide range of materials and finishes to suit different budgets and styles, from classic block paving to smooth resin-bound surfaces. A good installation starts with proper ground preparation and drainage, so ask any installer what is included in their price and whether the work comes with a written guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new driveway cost?
It depends on the material, the size and the ground conditions. As a rough guide, UK cost guides reviewed in September 2026 put typical installed prices at about £40–£100 per m² for gravel, £45–£100 for tarmac, £50–£120 for block paving and £60–£95 for resin bound. These are typical ranges, not quotes. Sending an enquiry is free and there is no obligation.
How long will my new driveway last?
It depends on the material, how well the sub-base was built and how the driveway is looked after. Cost guides commonly quote around 20 to 25 years for resin bound and 25 years or more for concrete, while tarmac benefits from resealing every few years. Ask for a written guarantee before work starts and check what it covers.
