Digging down to the required depth (usually 200-250mm) to reach solid ground.
Laying and heavily compacting MOT Type 1 aggregate to create a rock-solid foundation.
Installing soakaways, linear drains, or ensuring the correct gradient for natural runoff.
Setting kerbs or edging stones in concrete to lock the driveway firmly in place.
Expertly laying your chosen surface—whether block paving, tarmac, resin, or concrete.
Kiln-dried sanding for blocks, final rolling for tarmac, and a complete site clean down.
