Our Driveway Services – Styles, Materials & Finishes
Block Paving Driveways
Block paving is one of the most popular choices for modern homes.
It’s highly durable, easy to repair, and available in a wide variety of colours, patterns and finishes to suit both traditional and contemporary designs.
Indian Stone Driveways
Known for its natural beauty and warm tones, Indian sandstone creates a premium, elegant finish.
It’s ideal for homeowners wanting a natural stone driveway with a distinctive, high-end look.
Porcelain Driveways
Porcelain paving is sleek, low-maintenance and exceptionally hard-wearing.
It’s great for achieving a clean, modern aesthetic and offers excellent resistance to staining, moss and algae.
Tarmac Driveways
Tarmac is a practical and cost-effective option that’s perfect for driveways with heavy use.
It offers a smooth, uniform finish and pairs well with decorative edging for a refined look.
Gravel Driveways
Gravel is an affordable, quick-to-install solution that provides excellent drainage and a classic rural feel.
Available in a range of colours and sizes, gravel works well for both homes and long private drives.
Concrete Driveways (optional if offered)
If durability is your top priority, concrete offers unmatched strength and low upkeep.
It's ideal for high-traffic areas and can be finished with patterns, colour or brushed texture for visual appeal.
The Driveway Installation Process – What to Expect
We start every project with a free site visit and design consultation, where we assess your space, recommend materials, and provide a clear, no-obligation quote. From there, our experienced groundwork team prepares the base, excavating, levelling and compacting the area to ensure proper drainage and load-bearing support.
We then install edging and lay your chosen surface material, whether that’s block paving, tarmac, porcelain or natural stone. Our team works efficiently and tidily throughout, minimising disruption to your home or business. Once complete, we walk you through the finished result and offer care advice, with all work backed by a full workmanship guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best driveway surface for low maintenance?
Porcelain and tarmac are both excellent low-maintenance choices. Porcelain resists staining and moss, while tarmac is easy to clean and doesn’t require sealing.
How long does a new driveway take to install?
Most driveways are completed within 3–7 days, depending on size, materials and site conditions.
Do you remove old driveways before installation?
Yes. We handle full removal and disposal of your old driveway surface as part of our service.
Will my new driveway need planning permission?
Generally, planning permission is not required for permeable surfaces or if water drains to a lawn or border. We can advise during the consultation.
Can you install edging or steps as part of the driveway?
Absolutely. We can add features like kerb edging, steps, drainage channels and borders to complete the look.

I’d been putting off redoing the driveway for years, but I wish I’d done it sooner! The team were great from start to finish.
They helped us design the layout and chose colours that worked beautifully with our home’s exterior.

They made the whole driveway process feel easy. We had a clear quote, design options to choose from, and regular updates along the way.
The gravel finish we picked now blends beautifully with the rest of our garden, and it handles heavy rain far better than what we had before.

We asked DAB for a low-maintenance but attractive driveway solution, and they came up with the perfect idea—gravel with clean block borders and some added drainage. It’s made a huge difference to how the house looks and functions.
They were organised, responsive, and always happy to answer questions. It’s not often you find builders who care this much about the little details.

DAB Building installed a new driveway for us and the entire experience was brilliant. We had a rough concrete driveway that had cracked and shifted over the years, and they replaced it with beautiful Indian sandstone.
The prep work was thorough—dug deep, levelled, and laid with precision. The team were polite, tidy, and easy to deal with throughout. It’s genuinely changed the feel of our home and added real value. Friends and neighbours have already asked who did the work!

They really knew their stuff and gave us a lot of helpful ideas during the planning stage. The sandstone driveway is now one of our favourite features.
It’s beautifully laid, incredibly solid underfoot, and adds real value to our home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

The guys removed our broken concrete drive and replaced it with a beautifully laid sandstone design. It was all done in just under a week, with great care given to levels and borders.
We’ve already recommended them to friends.

We had a sloped and awkward front yard, but the team handled it like pros. The new tarmac drive levels everything off perfectly and makes parking much easier.
They even added a small step and edge detail that really sets it off.

The work DAB Building did on our gravel driveway exceeded expectations. They made sure the base was properly compacted, installed neat timber edging, and laid the gravel evenly with great attention to detail.
It’s now easier to drive on and maintain. Their knowledge and advice throughout made the whole project stress-free. It’s rare to find contractors this reliable and consistent. I’d use them again in a heartbeat and have already recommended them to family.

Our driveway was badly in need of an upgrade. DAB came out to measure up, gave us helpful recommendations, and stuck to the timeline they promised.
We now have a beautiful tarmac surface with drainage channels and a smooth, even finish. Their work ethic and attention to the small details really stood out.

Our new driveway has completely changed the look of our home. We went for a tarmac finish with sandstone edging, and it looks both modern and classy.
The DAB team were brilliant—always on time, tidy, and happy to answer all our questions. They even helped us reconfigure the entrance slightly to make better use of the space. The whole job was done in less than a week, and we couldn’t be more pleased.

We had some specific drainage issues on our sloped driveway, and they addressed every concern during the planning phase. The finished tarmac surface now directs water perfectly, and the compacted base feels incredibly strong.
They clearly know what they’re doing and take care to do it right.

DAB were brilliant from start to finish. They talked through design options with us and gave great advice.
The Indian stone we chose adds a real touch of elegance and warmth to our property. The installation was completed on time, within budget, and with great attention to drainage and edge detailing.

We were undecided on materials, but the team took the time to explain the pros and cons of each and helped us choose a block paving option that matched our home. The results are stunning.
The pattern, colour and layout are exactly what we hoped for. They kept everything tidy and were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish.
