Driveways & Patios

Built properly, from the ground up.

A driveway or patio is only ever as good as what sits beneath it. We design and build driveways, patios and terraces across Hertfordshire and Essex — excavating, founding and draining every surface ourselves, so it looks right on day one and stays that way.

The finish you see depends on the ground you don't.

Most driveway and patio failures — sinking, spreading, puddling, cracked edges — are groundworks failures. Because groundworks and drainage are a core part of what we do, every surface we lay starts with proper excavation, a correctly specified sub-base and considered falls and drainage.

From there, the visible work is finished to the same standard: block paving, natural stone and porcelain, set out carefully with kerbs, edging, steps and walls that tie the new surface into the property and the garden around it.
