Block Paving
Laid to the pattern that suits the house, herringbone, stretcher or a mixed sett, with a contrasting border and edge restraints haunched in concrete so the lines stay true.
Block paving, tarmac, resin and patios across Hinckley, Coventry, Nuneaton and Rugby. We measure your frontage, draw the shape around it, and build it properly from the base up.
Plenty of firms turn up with one pattern, one border and one shape, and lay the same drive at every house on the street. That is not what bespoke means, and it is not how we work.
We start with what you have got: the fall of the ground, where the water goes, how you actually park, the colour of your brickwork. Then we design the drive around that. Curved edges where a curve suits the frontage, a contrasting border where it lifts the house, a patio that carries the same materials round the back. You see the plan and the samples before anything comes up.
Whichever finish you choose, the digging out, the sub-base and the edge restraints are built the same way. That is the part nobody should be economising on.
Laid to the pattern that suits the house, herringbone, stretcher or a mixed sett, with a contrasting border and edge restraints haunched in concrete so the lines stay true.
Machine laid and rolled hot on a full depth base, finished with a block or brick edge. The most economical way to cover a large frontage without it looking cheap.
A seamless permeable surface, hand trowelled over a solid base and chosen from a tray of aggregates with you. No loose stone in the road, no puddles, no weeds coming through.
"Just had my driveway completed by Nathan & Isaac and the team at Cresta Driveways and it was a completely seamless operation from start to finish! Brilliant communication, professional and a really friendly team."Sonja TomblingGoogle review, 5 stars
Every photograph here is our own work at a real house. Different shapes, different materials, different problems solved, which is rather the point.
Almost every cracked, dipped, weed-split driveway you walk past failed for the same reason. Somebody saved a day on the digging and buried the problem under a nice surface.
The old surface and the soft ground underneath come out and go on the lorry. Nothing is raked to the side and buried under your new drive.
MOT Type 1 stone laid and whacked in layers rather than one thick dump. This is the part that carries your car for the next twenty years, and it is the part you will never see.
Edge restraints haunched in concrete, and the surface water given somewhere legal to go, before a single block or tonne of tarmac is laid. Permeable build-ups where the site needs one.
Laid, rolled or jointed, then the site swept and the skip taken away. We walk the finished drive with you before the van leaves.
