Driveways & Patios in Wigston

Looking for a reliable driveway and patio company in Wigston? JM Paving Driveways & Patios have many years of experience in the landscaping trade and cover Wigston and the surrounding LE18 area as part of our regular work.

Your local driveway specialists in Wigston

Wigston is a large town immediately south of Leicester made up of Wigston Magna and South Wigston, close to Wigston Framework Knitters Museum and Peace Memorial Park. 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.

A lot of Wigston driveways were laid in concrete decades ago and are now cracked and uneven — we remove the old slab properly and rebuild from the sub-base up rather than paving over the problem.

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 Wigston

• Block paving – the most popular choice in Wigston, 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 Wigston.
• Tarmac driveways – red or black, hard wearing and cost effective, ideal for larger LE18 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.

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 Wigston?

Yes. Wigston and the wider LE18 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 Wigston and follow the visit up with a clear written price.

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 Wigston 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 Wigston or the surrounding LE18 area, get in touch and we will visit, look at the site properly and put a written quote together with no obligation whatsoever.
