Looking for a reliable driveway and patio company in Glen Parva? JM Paving Driveways & Patios have many years of experience in the landscaping trade and cover Glen Parva and the surrounding LE2 area as part of our regular work.

Your local driveway specialists in Glen Parva

Glen Parva is a residential area to the south of Leicester bordering Glen Hills and South Wigston, close to Glen Parva Manor and the Grand Union Canal. 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.

Plots in Glen Parva are frequently a little tighter, so we plan the layout carefully to get the maximum usable parking without losing the garden frontage entirely.

The part of a driveway you never see is the part that decides how long it lasts. We excavate to the depth the ground actually needs rather than a standard figure, compact the sub-base in layers, and haunch the edge courses in concrete so the perimeter cannot creep outwards under the weight of a car. Get that right and the surface above it stays where you put it.

What we install in Glen Parva

• Block paving – the most popular choice in Glen Parva, 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 Glen Parva.
• Tarmac driveways – red or black, hard wearing and cost effective, ideal for larger LE2 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.

Frequently asked questions

Do you cover Glen Parva?

Yes. Glen Parva and the wider LE2 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 Glen Parva and follow the visit up with a clear written price.

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 Glen Parva 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 Glen Parva or the surrounding LE2 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.
