Bromyard Driveways: Block Paving, Resin and Repairs

TDL Driveways and Landscaping Ltd is based in Worcester and installs and repairs driveways for homes in Bromyard and nearby places such as Martley and Leigh Sinton. We handle the groundwork, drainage, laying and finishing ourselves, which suits longer drives where the base has to be consistent from the gate all the way to the door.

Surfaces that suit an older house

Materials that suit the age of the house, such as natural stone or traditional block paving, usually look best. On a stone or brick frontage, block paving in muted, earthy tones tends to sit more comfortably than bright colours, and a simple pattern keeps the eye on the house rather than the drive. Resin bound surfaces can suit a more contemporary extension or a house that has already been modernised.

Longer drives bring their own practical points. Edges need to be firm so the surface does not spread into the verge, and a bit of fall keeps rain from collecting by the garage or front step.

• Traditional block paving in colours that echo local stone and brick
• Resin bound surfaces for a smooth, modern finish
• Firm edging along long runs and curves
• Repairs to patched, cracked or sunken areas

Planning the whole frontage

For the larger and more rural plots around Bromyard, we are happy to look at fencing, gates and driveways together so the whole frontage is designed as one. A drive laid first and a gate fitted later often do not line up, and a gate that swings the wrong way can undo a carefully planned turning space.

Paving more than 5 square metres of a front garden normally needs planning permission unless the surface is permeable or drains within the property, and a dropped kerb needs separate consent from the highway authority, so check with your local council. We can walk the plot with you on a free site visit and quote for the whole job.
