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 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 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.

It's ideal for high-traffic areas and can be finished with patterns, colour or brushed texture for visual appeal.

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.

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.

From our first meeting, it was clear that DAB Building take pride in their work. They arrived exactly when they said they would, prepared the base thoroughly, and laid the tarmac perfectly.
We had kerb edging installed too, which finishes it off nicely. No hidden costs, great communication throughout, and a really clean finish. Our driveway now looks fantastic and functions brilliantly.

We needed a driveway that could handle regular car use and poor weather. DAB recommended tarmac with drainage channels, and it’s worked out brilliantly.
The driveway looks smooth and neat and it’s held up well through recent storms and rain.

We’re absolutely over the moon with our new porcelain driveway. DAB’s team worked in all weather to get the job done, and the final result is stunning.
It’s low maintenance, easy to clean, and adds so much kerb appeal. They handled everything from start to finish—digging out the old concrete, adding proper sub-base, and laying every tile with precision. Communication was excellent throughout. The transformation has been unbelievable, and it was worth every penny.

We needed a practical but stylish solution for our small front garden. DAB suggested block paving with curved edges to soften the layout, and it looks fantastic.
It’s a big improvement on the cracked concrete we had before. Everything was carried out quickly and professionally, and they even left the site spotless.

Our old gravel driveway was an eyesore, full of weeds and dips. DAB came out, discussed options, and we went with porcelain for a sleek finish.
The work was meticulous—the site prep, laying, and jointing were all done to an excellent standard. They even added matching edging stones which tie it all together. It now looks modern and is so much easier to maintain. Plus, the whole thing was completed in just a few days!

We had a large, awkwardly shaped space that needed reshaping into a usable driveway. The team provided detailed plans and options, then completed the work to a very high standard.
Our new sandstone surface has improved the entire front of our house, both visually and practically. Communication was excellent, and we appreciated the clear quote and honest pricing.
