Your local driveway specialists in Braunstone

Braunstone is a large residential district west of the city centre covering both Braunstone Town and the older estates, close to Braunstone Park and Fosse Park nearby. It sits around 10 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.

We carry out a lot of full driveway replacements in Braunstone where original concrete has cracked and sunk, digging out to a proper depth rather than simply overlaying the old surface.

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 Braunstone

• Block paving – the most popular choice in Braunstone, 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 Braunstone.
• Tarmac driveways – red or black, hard wearing and cost effective, ideal for larger LE3 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 Braunstone

Plenty of our work in Braunstone is at the back of the house rather than the front. Patios, garden paths, steps, retaining walls and raised beds all come under what we do, and we can take on a full re-landscape rather than just the paved area. Doing the front and back in one visit almost always works out better value than booking two separate jobs.

Frequently asked questions

Do you cover Braunstone?

Yes. Braunstone and the wider LE3 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?

Every drive is priced on its own merits — the square meterage, the surface you pick, how much digging out is needed and whether any drainage has to be altered. We will visit your Braunstone property, take proper measurements and put the figure in writing for you.

How long will the work take?

Allow roughly three to five working days for an average domestic driveway, covering excavation, sub-base, laying and jointing. Bigger projects run longer, and weather can occasionally move things, but we will give you a realistic window before booking you in.

Will I need planning permission?

For most domestic driveways in Braunstone 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 Braunstone or the surrounding LE3 area, get in touch and we will visit, look at the site properly and put a written quote together with no obligation whatsoever.
