Driveways & Patios in Blaby

Looking for a reliable driveway and patio company in Blaby? JM Paving Driveways & Patios have many years of experience in the landscaping trade and cover Blaby and the surrounding LE8 area as part of our regular work.

Your local driveway specialists in Blaby

Blaby is a sought-after village to the south of the city with a busy village centre and plenty of family housing, close to Blaby village centre and Bouskell Park. It sits around 15 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.

Blaby has a lot of generous frontages, which makes it ideal for feature block paving with a contrasting border or a tumbled-edge sett detail around the entrance.

We build every drive the same way regardless of budget: dig out fully, remove the spoil, compact a graded sub-base, restrain the edges properly and lay the surface to a consistent fall. We will happily talk you through exactly what is going in at each stage, because that is where the money in a driveway is genuinely spent.

What we install in Blaby

• Block paving – the most popular choice in Blaby, 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 Blaby.
• Tarmac driveways – red or black, hard wearing and cost effective, ideal for larger LE8 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 Blaby

Beyond the drive, we lay patios and garden schemes of all sizes, whether that is replacing tired old slabs with riven Indian stone or reshaping the whole garden with new levels, walling and planting areas. We are happy to quote the front and back together so the materials tie in and you are only dealing with one team.

Frequently asked questions

Do you cover Blaby?

Yes. Blaby and the wider LE8 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?

It comes down to size, material and how much groundwork is involved underneath. We would rather measure up in person than quote blind, so we will come out to you in Blaby and follow the visit up with a clear written price.

How long will the work take?

For a normal house driveway, three to five working days is typical. Anything involving extensive groundwork, new drainage or walling will add time, and we will set out an honest schedule with you before any work is booked.

Will I need planning permission?

For most domestic driveways in Blaby 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 Blaby or the surrounding LE8 area, call us and we will come and see the property, discuss the options with you and follow it up with a clear written quote.
