Our installations begin with proper excavation to a minimum depth of 200mm, followed by a compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base that provides the foundation for a stable, long-lasting driveway. In Coalpit Heath, where a mix of 1970s-built estates and newer developments with good-sized driveways, we tailor every design to suit the property's style and the homeowner's needs.
