Driveways & Patios in Evington

Looking for a reliable driveway and patio company in Evington? JM Paving Driveways & Patios have many years of experience in the landscaping trade and cover Evington and the surrounding LE5 area as part of our regular work.

Your local driveway specialists in Evington

Evington is an attractive suburb on the eastern edge of Leicester with many larger detached and semi-detached homes, close to Evington Park and the village conservation area. It sits around 5 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.

Evington has a number of larger properties with sweeping frontages, which suit tegula or rumble-pattern paving laid with a proper radius rather than cut-in curves.

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 Evington

• Block paving – the most popular choice in Evington, 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 Evington.
• Tarmac driveways – red or black, hard wearing and cost effective, ideal for larger LE5 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 Evington

We take on garden work as readily as driveways — new patios, replacement slabbing, paths running round the side of the house, steps between levels and the walling to hold it all together. If the garden slopes, we will talk you through the options for terracing it properly rather than simply laying slabs on the fall.

What sets our Evington work apart

• Many years of hands-on experience in the driveways and patios trade.
• Free, written, no obligation quotes with no high-pressure sales.
• Accurate quotes that reflect the quality of the work — the price we quote is the price you pay.
• Tidy, courteous workmanship and the site left clean at the end of each day.
• We are based around 5 minutes away, so we are genuinely local to Evington rather than travelling in from another county.

Frequently asked questions

Do you cover Evington?

Yes. Evington and the wider LE5 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?

There is no single price, because a small forecourt and a large sweeping drive are very different jobs. Once we have seen the property in Evington and measured the area, we can give you an accurate written cost with a full breakdown of what it covers.

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 Evington 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 Evington or the surrounding LE5 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.
