What goes into every driveway
A driveway is the whole build, not one material: excavation, sub-base, edging and drainage. Choose the surface it is finished in — block paving, tarmac or resin bound.
Priced per m², plus access, excavation and taking the old surface away.
One itemised price before anything is lifted. It only changes if you agree a change with us in writing. Every job is backed by our ten-year workmanship guarantee. Faults in how we built it, put right at our cost.
Block paving driveways
Herringbone, basketweave or stretcher bond, laid on a properly compacted sub-base that will not sink.
Priced per m², on the block you choose and the sub-base the ground needs.
Standard block
Herringbone, basketweave or stretcher bond.
Tumbled block
Softened edges and a riven face, in warm tones.
Examples only — the full range of colours and finishes is in our materials catalogue.
A driveway we built
A drive dug out and laid in grey herringbone block paving, with a charcoal double border, a diamond in the middle, a channel drain and a recessed door mat.

- How much does a block paving driveway cost in Barnsley?
- Block paving or tarmac: which is better for your driveway?
- Do you need planning permission for a driveway?
Most of the driveways we lay in and around Barnsley need no planning permission at all. What we will not do is lay a solid front drive that empties onto the pavement.
- How long does a new driveway take to install?
A typical block paving driveway takes around three to five working days on site, so up to a working week.
