When It Comes To A New Driveway, You Have Many Options

One of the most important features of any home that has a driveway is the driveway itself. This is because, while some driveways only take up part of the space of the front garden on a large property, many of them occupy all of the front area. So, the first thing that people see when visiting your home is your driveway. For this reason alone, you want your driveway to look great.

You also want your driveway to be functional and long-lasting. Many families today have three or four cars because dad has one and so does mum. But when you have grown children at home, which is happening more and more today, they may also each have a car of their own. There can be quite a lot of coming and going, and so you need a drive surface that can handle it.

Fortunately, there are many different options, and at Base Driveways we can provide you with whatever type of driveway that you wish – and for that matter a patio as well if you choose to have one, as many people do.

For example, your driveway can consist of paving slabs in Kent. As you can probably imagine, this gives you an immediate choice of many different types of paving slabs, colours, shapes, sizes, and so on, and also brick block paving which alone can produce many different patterns. In fact, there are over 1,000 possible options available today.

Tarmac

You could have tarmac if you wish. This can be provided in several different colours such as red, blue, green, buff, and grey, as well as the original black.

Another very popular choice is resin bonded driveways in Kent. There are also resin bound driveways available. So, what’s the difference? The difference is in the way that they are laid and the finished effect. When you have a resin bound driveway, the aggregates are mixed with the resin and a special sand. The mixture is then laid on to the drive.

A resin bonded driveway has the resin poured on to the drive and the aggregates are then scattered on top of it. This produces the effect of having a loose gravel surface when, in fact, it is not loose.

Whatever type of driveway surface you are considering in Kent or South London, at Base Driveways we can provide it. Give us a call and one of our friendly team will visit you – no obligation – to discuss your options.
