How long does a new driveway take?
Most domestic driveways take a few days to a week, depending on size, dig-out and drainage. We'll give you a timeframe with your quote.
Do I need planning permission for a driveway?
Front driveways over 5 square metres usually need a permeable surface or drainage to a lawn or soakaway to avoid needing planning. We'll design it to meet the rules.
