DRIVEWAYS SHEFFIELD

Block Paving Sheffield

This is still one of the most popular driveway choices in the country and for good reason. As well as being a good mid to low priced option, depending on the bricks chosen, it provides a strong base. If your driveway is likely to get lots of usage with heavy items being loaded and unloaded on a frequent basis even if any damage does occur, replacing the odd block is relatively quick, easy and inexpensive. Since block paving can come in many sizes, shapes and colours they can be laid in patterns that are unique to you, allowing for a totally bespoke driveway. The difference between brick, block and stone driveways is essentially based on the actual name of the item being laid as the process is virtually the same for each.

Resin Driveways Sheffield

Resin Driveways in Sheffield, as for the rest of the UK, are becoming one of the most popular driveway choices and it's easy to see why. Also known as resin-bonded, or resin-bound driveways they are available in a wide range of colours and look fantastic. As well as their kerb appeal they are very durability, yet allow rainwater to drain through without the need to install additional drainage. However, even though water can drain through it, the formation of moss and weeds is not easy so provide a very low maintenance driveway which looks fabulous for many years. We can also offer resin surfacing where the existing base allows too.

Resin Patios Sheffield

As well as driveways, resin bound patio areas in Sheffield are becoming increasingly popular too. This can be very cost effective if you are getting your driveway done.

A resin patio provides a good surface for walking and entertaining on and if you choose a resin bound path and patio then drainage and waterlogging shouldn't be an issue either making it very suitable for entertaining in the British summertime.

With a variety of colours we are sure to have something which will look good both in the front and rear of your property.

Tarmac Driveways Sheffield

There are many existing tarmac or asphalt driveways across England. When new they look great but after time with wear and tear caused by things such as chemical spills, heavy items being dropped or dips caused by poor sub bases the tarmac can begin to loosen and crack. Once this happens much more maintenance is required to prevent moss and algae build up. Depending on the state of your base resurfacing could be a good low cost option and if changing to colour can provide you with a completely new look. Even for a completely new tarmac drive a blue, green, red or buff shade can look fantastic and is keeping tarmac driveways a popular option.

Concrete Driveways Sheffield

A concrete slab driveway, where stabs are large sections of concrete, or a brushed concrete driveway provides one of the most durable driveways. If your driveway is likely to see a lot of action in terms of a van or truck being loaded and unloaded with heavy items on a regular basis, then brushed concrete may be a good option for you in terms if not having to worry too much about damage. The downside is that this is one of the least aesthetically appealing driveway options. However, moving to an imprinted concrete driveway takes the visuals to another level.

Imprinted Concrete Sheffield

Pattern concrete driveways are also  growing in popularity across England. Typically when one driveway is installed a few more spring up in the nearby area soon afterwards. As this is still a lesser known option it is often only when someone has passed by an imprinted concrete driveway which has caught their eye will they then find out more. The sheen from these driveways makes them very eye catching and quite striking. As well as the visual appeal, they provide a very hard, low maintenance, finish. Available in many colours and patterns they are one of the most striking driveway options.

Cobbled Driveways

Cobblestone driveways are really a variant of block paving driveways but rather than a sharp crisp brick being the main driveway material natural or synthetic stones are used instead or larger slabs. This also means that a wide variety of sizes, colours and costs are associated with stone driveways. Some of the more popular options are Indian stone, bluestone, flagstone, granite and cobbled driveways. Their appeal is the more natural period look they can give to a property. If you are looking to source stones yourself please ensure you choose the thicker and stronger driveway grade option - especially if looking at stone slabs. Patio slabs will not withstand cars repeatedly moving across them.

Paving Sheffield

Paved driveways are an excellent way of creating a really great an unique looking driveway with Indian stone being the paving stone most frequently used for this type of driveway. Some people shy away from paving for a driveway as they believe that by using larger paving stone rather than the smaller ones used with block paving there is a greater chance of the slabs breaking.

Clearly if a poor installation or cheap DIY attempt is made by laying the slabs down without a well laid sub-base then this is likely to happen along with using cheaper slabs designed for patios rather than driveways. Using the Driveways Sheffield team will mean can have a great Indian Stone Paved driveway for many, many years

Patios Sheffield

When you have the knowledge, tools and know how whether laying paving stones or block paving for a drive or creating a new patios the skills are very much the same.

However, our team can always work round any obstacles to build muti-tiered patios, shaped patios, multi coloured patios and paths and create a great entertaining area in your back garden.
