Driveway & garden guides
Straight answers to what homeowners ask us before they commit to a new driveway or garden.
Resin Driveway Cost: What You Are Really Paying ForResin driveway cost depends mostly on what is underneath, not the resin on top. The size of the drive, whether it needs a new base, access and design choices decide the price, so the only reliable figure is a quote based on a visit to your property.
Resin Driveway Colours: Choosing the Right BlendThe best resin driveway colour is one that picks up a tone from your brickwork, roof or doors. We offer 59 aggregate blends, from pale silvers and golds to charcoals and reds, and you can browse every swatch further down this page before seeing real samples at home.
Resin Driveway Pros and ConsResin bound driveways look smooth, drain well and need little upkeep, but they cost more than gravel, rely completely on a sound base and are harder to patch than block paving. We install both resin and block, so this is a straight account of each side.
Dropped Kerb Cost and How the Process WorksDropped kerb cost depends on the width of the crossing, the condition of the pavement, any services under it and your council fees. Approval from the highway authority has to come before any work, so check you qualify before spending money on a drive.
Sleeper Retaining Walls: How to Build One That LastsA sleeper retaining wall holds back soil to create flat levels in a sloping garden. It works when posts are set firmly into the ground and water can escape from behind, because most failures come from soil and water pressure pushing the wall over, not from the timber itself.
Soakaway Installation: A Practical GuideA soakaway is an underground pit or crate system that collects surface water and lets it seep slowly into the surrounding ground. It only works where the soil can absorb water, so installation should always start with a simple percolation test rather than a spade in the nearest corner.
