Block Driveway, St John’s Wood, London
John contacted the New Driveway Company to install a new driveway which would reflect his major home renovation. With the building works nearing completion, the timeline for the driveway installation was extremely tight, requiring careful planning and management.
We worked closely with John to coordinate an immediate site visit, not only to assess the existing conditions but also to incorporate the design ensuring the driveway installation aligned perfectly with the renovation schedule.
During the pre-start visit, it became clear that the existing flowerbed with a bordering hedge would not be suitable for managing the diverted rainwater from the new driveway. To address this, we incorporated a soakaway into the design to ensure efficient and compliant drainage.
As the newly rendered walls were already in place, protection boards were used throughout the excavation phase to prevent any damage. The team also paved the designated bin storage area and carried out repairs to the section outside the gates to complete the overall finish.
The finished driveway has completely transformed the property’s frontage. The clean lines, timeless block pattern, and warm tones complement the newly renovated home beautifully, creating a welcoming and refined entrance. With improved drainage and a flawless finish, the driveway not only enhances kerb appeal but also delivers lasting practicality — all achieved within the client’s limited timeframe.
“The initial planning from the original site survey to fast tracking the start of the project was first class. The execution of the project was exemplary…. Lani and his on-site team were very skilled, hardworking, tidy, courteous and hard working. The end result exceeded all expectations. 5 out of 5 stars. 10 out of 10. Extremely good value. I highly recommend the New Driveway Company.”
