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.

We had quite a complex brief: replace our sloping driveway, add drainage, and improve parking layout. DAB handled everything brilliantly.
They brought in the right tools, worked with care, and completed the job exactly as we’d hoped. We opted for tarmac with decorative brick edging and the result is both durable and stylish. The process was smooth and well-communicated from start to finish.

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.

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.

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.

The guys at DAB were amazing from day one. They helped us decide between block paving and sandstone, and we ended up with a beautiful pattern that adds loads of character to our property.
Everything was planned well, and the site was left spotless after. The driveway is strong, drains well, and has really improved the front of our house. Couldn't have asked for a better result.

I was really impressed with the way the team handled our sloped drive. The old surface kept pooling water, but they fixed the levels and fitted proper drainage.
It now slopes gently away from the house and looks brilliant in tarmac with block borders. A very smooth, efficient job.

Brilliant workmanship and service from DAB. They tackled a complete rip-out and replacement of our old driveway, laid a new gravel base with block borders, and left everything looking perfect.
They even helped us add a small step to improve access. Couldn’t fault anything—they worked hard and delivered exactly as promised.

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.
