Your local driveway specialists in Anstey

Anstey is a popular village to the north west of the city with a strong mix of period cottages and modern estates, close to the Anstey Nook and Bradgate Park nearby. It sits around 20 minutes away from us, which means we can get out to you quickly to measure up, talk through your options and provide a written quote without any obligation.

Older Anstey properties often sit on sloping plots, so we pay particular attention to falls, levels and drainage so surface water runs away from the house rather than towards it.

Whatever the size of the job, the approach is the same. We dig out to a proper depth, lay and compact a solid sub-base, install the edge restraints correctly and finish with a surface laid to the right falls so water drains away as it should. Cutting corners on the groundwork is why so many driveways fail within a few years, and it is the one part of the job we will never rush.

What we install in Anstey

• Block paving – the most popular choice in Anstey, available in a wide range of colours, and individual blocks can be lifted and replaced if they are ever damaged.
• Tegula & rumble pattern paving – a tumbled, aged finish that suits the more traditional properties around Anstey.
• Tarmac driveways – red or black, hard wearing and cost effective, ideal for larger LE7 frontages and shared access.
• Indian stone slabbing & patios – natural riven stone for garden patios, seating areas and paths.
• Cobble paving & feature borders – used to frame a drive or pick out an entrance.
• Drainage, manhole covers & kerbing – including recessed covers so the paving pattern runs unbroken across them.
• Fencing, gates & landscaping – so the whole frontage is finished together rather than in separate trades.

Patios and garden landscaping in Anstey

It is not just driveways. We lay patios in Anstey, paths and full garden landscaping schemes, from a simple slabbed seating area through to a complete re-design with retaining walls, steps and planting beds. If you are considering both a driveway and a patio, it is usually worth doing them together — the set-up costs are shared and the materials can be matched properly across the whole property.

Frequently asked questions

Do you cover Anstey?

Yes. Anstey and the wider LE7 area are part of our regular working patch, so we can normally get out to measure up within a few days of you calling.

How much will a new driveway cost?

That depends on the size of the area, the material you choose and how much excavation and drainage work is involved. Rather than guess over the phone, we come out to your Anstey property, measure up properly and give you a written quote you can take your time over.

How long will the work take?

A typical domestic driveway takes somewhere between three and five working days from first dig to final compaction and jointing. Larger schemes or jobs involving drainage and retaining walls take longer, and we will always give you a realistic timescale up front.

Will I need planning permission?

For most domestic driveways in Anstey you will not, provided the surface is permeable or surface water is directed to a soakaway or border rather than straight onto the road. We will advise on this when we quote, and we can talk you through a dropped kerb application if you need one.

How do I get a quote?

If you are anywhere in Anstey or the surrounding LE7 area, give us a call and we will arrange a convenient time to come out, take a look and talk through what would work best.
