FAQs

Driveway & landscaping questions, answered

Straight answers on cost, timescales and materials for block paving, resin and patios in Essex.

How much does a block paving driveway cost in Essex?

A new block paving driveway in Essex typically costs from around £70–£100 per square metre installed — so a standard driveway usually falls between roughly £4,000 and £10,000 depending on size, ground preparation, drainage and the blocks you choose. Resin-bound driveways sit in a similar range. Every job is different, so we always visit, measure up and give you a clear, fixed, no-obligation quote before any work starts.

How long does it take to lay a new driveway?

Most residential driveways take between three and seven working days from start to finish. The timeline depends on the size of the area, how much excavation and sub-base work is needed, drainage, and the weather. We give you a realistic schedule with your quote and keep you updated throughout, so you always know where things are.

Block paving or resin — which is better?

Both are excellent, hard-wearing choices — it comes down to the look you want. Block paving gives a classic, patterned finish and individual blocks can be lifted and replaced if ever needed. Resin-bound driveways give a smooth, seamless, permeable surface with no loose stones and no weeds. We are happy to talk you through samples of both and recommend what suits your home and budget.

Do you install patios and garden landscaping too?

Yes. As well as driveways we lay patios in porcelain and Indian sandstone, and carry out full garden landscaping — turfing, sleepers, raised beds, fencing, walls and drainage. Many customers have their driveway, patio and garden done together as one project, finished to the same standard by our own team.
