Your driveway is the first thing anyone sees when approaching your property, and also has the important tasks of providing safe access and storage for vehicles. Old and tatty driveways not only impact kerb appeal, but can increase the risk of suffering an annoying automotive issue like a punctured tyre. Visitors may even trip on loose stones or potholes. So a new driveway is often a wise investment for Dorking, Reigate and Booking homeowners looking to improve aesthetics and functionality.

Tarmac – Always worth considering for a new driveway in Bookham, Dorking or Reigate, tarmac is a cost-effective choice that offers durability and a sleek appearance. Tarmac can withstand heavy vehicles and harsh weather conditions without cracking or deteriorating. It requires minimal maintenance and can be installed quickly, saving you time and hassle. With tarmac, you'll have a reliable and attractive driveway that lasts for years to come.
Block Paving – If you want something that will allow you to get creative, there’s no better option for a new driveway than block paving. Our builders can supply different sizes, shapes and colours of paver, which can then be combined to create eye-catching designs which really make a statement. But our clients in and around Bookham, Dorking and Reigate can rest assured that exceling in aesthetics doesn’t make block paving a slouch on more utilitarian fronts. Block paving is permeable, hardwearing, low maintenance and easy to repair in the case it suffers damage in an accident.
Concrete – A solid choice that packs a punch in terms of durability. Choose a new driveway built from concrete and you’ll be safe in the knowledge it’ll easily handle day to day use by heavy vehicles. It will be resistant to cracking and weather damage, and require minimal maintenance; just occasionally re-seal to keep it looking fresh. Concrete also offers versatility in terms of design options, allowing you to customise your driveway's colour and texture. If you want a tough and stylish concrete new driveway that stands the test of time, why not call our builders in Bookham, Dorking and Reigate?
Gravel – Another popular option, gravel is a very affordable option for a new driveway. Their installation is straightforward, and they provide excellent traction and drainage, making them particularly suitable for areas with heavy rainfall (unfortunately Bookham, Dorking and Reigate fall into this category!). Other benefits include customisation with the ability to combine different gravel blends, and added security, as you can head people approaching your property. If you're seeking an economical and practical solution for your driveway that also aligns with eco-consciousness, gravel is a compelling choice.
