Kevin and Sarah’s bungalow in Brightwell-cum-Sotwell near Wallingford had a crumbling concrete drive and sideway that needed some TLC.
The base of the old drive was falling away into the house next door, so first we built a new retaining concrete boundary to hold everything in place.
Then we got to work on the drive itself, installing a super-strong New Driveway Company StrongBase foundation before laying the lovely Contemporary Grey Rumbled Block Paving Kevin and Sarah had chosen from our exclusive range of blocks.
It was a tight squeeze getting the materials in, so we had to move everything by dumper-truck, be we got the job finished on time, including the matching step and lawn edging.
Take a look at the video and images to see how the project came together. Kevin and Sarah were really happy with the result!
“We’d like to share our recent experience with The New Driveway Company. We didn’t know who to use, and where to start with so many appearing to offer the same service.
But not so with Darren’s visit to us – we very quickly decided this was a job for them, offering what they call a ‘StrongBase’ 6mm limestone grit base for extra weight-bearing strength.
They promised, and they delivered. Perfect job – especially impressed with their finishing team!”
