Driveways & Patios in Groby

Looking for a reliable driveway and patio company in Groby? JM Paving Driveways & Patios have many years of experience in the landscaping trade and cover Groby and the surrounding LE6 area as part of our regular work.

Your local driveway specialists in Groby

Groby is a village to the north west of Leicester sitting close to Charnwood Forest, close to Groby Pool and Bradgate Park. 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.

The stone and slate character around Groby means natural Indian stone and cobble detailing usually sits far better than a brightly coloured block, and we will always advise on the match.

A driveway is only as good as what sits underneath it. Before a single block is laid we strip out the old surface and any soft spots, build up and compact a proper stone sub-base, and set the levels so rainwater runs to where you want it. It is slower than simply resurfacing, but it is the difference between a drive that lasts twenty years and one that sinks in three.

What we install in Groby

• Block paving – the most popular choice in Groby, 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 Groby.
• Tarmac driveways – red or black, hard wearing and cost effective, ideal for larger LE6 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 Groby

It is not just driveways. We lay patios in Groby, 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.

What you get when you work with us in Groby

• Experienced, time-served groundworkers rather than subcontracted labour.
• Honest advice on what your property actually needs, even when it is the cheaper option.
• Fixed written prices with no hidden costs added part-way through.
• Careful protection of lawns, borders and paths while the work is under way.
• We work around 20 minutes away, so Groby is well within our normal daily patch.

Frequently asked questions

Do you cover Groby?

Yes. Groby and the wider LE6 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 Groby property, measure up properly and give you a written quote you can take your time over.

How long will the work take?

Most standard drives are finished inside three to five working days, start to finish. If the job involves significant drainage, retaining walls or a full landscaping scheme it will take longer, and we will tell you that honestly when we quote rather than after we start.

Will I need planning permission?

For most domestic driveways in Groby 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 Groby or the surrounding LE6 area, pick up the phone and we will come out, measure up and give you a straight answer on what is involved and what it will cost.
