Some Of The Options You Have When Installing A New Driveway

If you are looking for driveway paving in Kent, at Base Driveways we can help you wherever you may be in the county. If you do not yet have a driveway and want to install one, we are fully authorised by Kent Highways and Medway Council to install a drop kerb anywhere in the county.

Of course, you may already have a driveway, but it is past its’ best and you want to brighten up the front of your home and possibly get rid of dips and potholes that might have formed over the years. Nothing lasts forever, and that includes driveways, but we can provide you with some long-lasting and tough options for a new driveway for your home.

One of the cheapest options is tarmac, and, no, it doesn’t have to be black! Tarmac is available in a range of colours. It is also extremely durable and can put up with a lot of punishment, which is useful if you have heavy vehicles or perhaps several of them. Tarmac is also weatherproof, so it doesn’t matter if it rains or snows.

Block Paving

Another choice is block paving. This is great if you want a choice of patterns and colours for your driveway as the range of options with block paving is almost limitless. You can have an antique cobbled look, a Mediterranean appearance, mottled effect bricks, and more, and the choice of brick shapes and patterns and sizes means that you can have a driveway that is unique to you.

You can also get permeable block paving which means that the rainwater will simply drain away, and that also means that if you don’t have a soakaway at present you won’t need to install one, which in turn means that you won’t need planning permission. In addition, block paving is highly durable, which is what you want in a driveway, and even if a brick should get damaged it is a simple matter to remove it and replace it with another one.

Another option for your driveway would be imprinted concrete. This doesn’t provide as many options for appearance as block paving, but it can be a less expensive choice. It is also not as long-lasting as either block paving or tarmac. In addition, it is impermeable which means that you need drainage.

There are also other solutions such as resin bound surfaces. Whatever your choice, at Base Driveways we can provide what you wish.
