Materials for New Driveway Installations

Starting with a clean slate and numerous ideas, the possibilities for new driveways are seemingly endless. By working collaboratively with our customers, Warlingham Paving shapes initial concepts into a final design that will last long into the future.

We’ve outlined below the materials we use in the construction of our new drives:

  • Block Paving

  • Gravel/Shingle

  • Resin Bond

  • Concrete

Block Paving

As a Marshalls registered installer, we lay block paving drives to the very highest of standards. With a choice of materials in a range of shapes and colours, block paving installations offer a unique opportunity for a truly bespoke feature. Materials include natural stone, brick and concrete, all of which we can lay as a practical yet stunning compact driveway or in a long, sweeping fashion.

We carry out a meticulous planning and design stage to ensure an efficient, smooth installation process. While the groundwork differs depending on conditions at the site, it usually involves digging out to at least 150mm below the damp-proof course while creating a gradual fall. We then set out a sub-base in multiple layers before compacting to a thickness of 100mm. After layering on the sand to the desired height, our team lays the blocks to create the agreed-upon design before compacting once again.

Gravel/Shingle

Gravel and shingle drives offer great versatility as they can be used outside domestic homes or on the forecourt of a commercial property. These materials come in numerous textures and colours, so our clients can be sure that they will find the perfect match for their existing property. Following the appropriate stabilising groundwork, we install gravel drives in a simple, hassle-free process that requires minimal effort to maintain.

Among their many benefits, gravel drives work in an environmentally friendly way. Due to their porous nature, these installations allow rainwater to soak down into the ground rather than sending it straight toward the drains.

Resin Bond

Not to be confused with resin bound drives, our resin bond surfaces create a rough, textured finish with outstanding durability. This system involves the application of a resin film onto which we scatter clean, dry aggregate. We ensure complete coverage of the resin. The aggregate used ranges between 1mm and 6mm, depending on the individual needs of each customer.

Following a period for curing, we then sweep away any excess aggregate, leaving behind only the stones that have fully adhered to the resin. The thickness of the final surface will be determined by the size of the aggregate used.

Concrete

In order to lay impeccable concrete drives, we use a ready-mixed product that we know and trust for outstanding results that match our own demanding standards. When finished, these drives not only look great, but they also require little to no maintenance, have a high resistance to oil stains and suppress the growth of weeds.

Concrete driveways have witnessed considerable improvements over the years, making them a cost-effective option for discerning homeowners in Oxted and the wider Surrey, Sussex and Kent areas. With various edging options for a neat, attractive finish and grooves applied by hand for improved grip in wet conditions, our concrete driveways provide style and safety in equal measure.
