Sheffield Paving


We aren't focussed on pushing one particular type of driveway as we are proficient in all of the driveways listed. The basis for all driveways is in the preparation and quality on preparing the ground base with suitable sub bases so that you have a driveway built to last. It is relatively easy to put on a surface layer of almost any driveway type which will look good when its finished, however if short cuts are taken your driveway may start to crumble, dip or crack if aspects of the work are not done properly.
You can rest assured that when we install a driveway we have taken proper account of sub soils, slopes and drainage so that your driveway does not lose its beauty even after years of use - if properly looked after. We aim to provide driveway consultation and installation services across Sheffield and surrounding areas in South Yorkshire, which set us apart and make a positive impact on peoples homes.

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.

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.

Dropped Kerbs

Are you looking for a dropped kerb contractor in Sheffield. If so you will be in safe hands with Driveways Sheffield as we are approved dropped kerb contractors.  So if as well as wanting a new or extended driveway which leads to a dropped kerb you only need to call upon our services to get the complete job done!

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

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.

As mentioned there are many similarities when building a patio to a driveway with the most important being proper ground preparation. Patios do sometime provide different challenges to driveways as access can sometimes restrict certain groundwork equipment from getting to a back garden. 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.

We also provide patio cleaning services too.

Frequently Asked Driveways Sheffield Questions

  • What is the best driveway finish?

    Well, we're going to sit on the fence for this one.  Unfortunately, this isn't one single option which will be best for everyone which is why we like to offer you a wide choice. Budget, colour, style, drainage, ongoing maintenance all play a part. Every individual will place a different level of the importance of which of these driveways features are going to be most important to them. so depending on the importance and order of each of these factors will end up narrowing down the choice of which is the best driveway for YOU!

  • Do I need to have a permeable driveway?

    A permeable driveway is one that enables water, mostly rain, to soak through the surface of the driveway and into the ground.

    Due to the rise in roads and homes and as more non-permeable surfaces emerged rainwater began to have fewer locations to go. To protect against the issue from getting even worse, councils have actually imposed regulations that favour permeable driveways.

    Absorptive driveways allow water to saturate through right into the ground straight below. Examples are porous asphalt, block paving, cobbled and resin-bound.

    For basic tarmac, concrete and pattern concrete extra soaks and drainage might be needed depending upon the slope and the likely direction rain would certainly flow. This can add to costs and also lessen a few of the visual allure of your driveway by the inclusion of a drain system.

  • If my driveway needs sealing how often should I do it?

    Sealing is for non-permeable driveways such as Imprinted and concrete driveways and tarmac which will certainly need sealing to avoid your driveway from discolouring (imprinted concrete) or breaking. It also supplies a defensive finish to your drive, so if fluid is dropped onto its surface area the sealer will postpone the ingress of the spilt liquid from getting into the concrete and creating an irreversible discolouring.

    Before applying a sealant do make sure that the surface area is totally dry. If you treat your driveway every 2 -3 years you will reduce damage to your non=permeable driveway and for imprinted driveways, this will certainly preserve its great looks year after year.

  • Can patio slabs be painted?

    The short answer is yes. However, if you are thinking of painting your patio rather than replacing it you really should not try to do this on the cheap. High-quality acrylic based paints would be best. However, you should be aware that to provide durability these paints will need to be applied thickly and in several coats with a brush or roller. also, they should be left to dry naturally for a few days so please check the forecast before embarking on this route. 

    The key is to manage your expectations - remember this is simply a coating and will be subjected to table and chair bumps and scrapes. It may provide a band-aid approach to improving the look of your patio for a couple of seasons but once the paint starts to chip away it will start to chip away more and more. Once this happens trying to overpaint again will not look great!

  • Can you lay paving slabs directly onto grass?

    Essentially you can lay a paving slab on any surface but you need to think about what will be the end result. If you just wanted to utilise the odd slab as a stepping stone then will a little ground manipulation and sand you could effectively provide a stone that can be stepped on. However, if you are planning on setting chairs, tables, barbeques you will need to properly set your paving stones into a properly prepared sub base which will provide a solid base for your slabs to be fixed to. This will prevent weeds from coming up through paving stone joints and ensure you don't have loose wobbly slabs.

  • How does a resin driveway compare to block paving?

    Both look great when installed and resin, especially a resin bound driveway, will over the longer term be easier to keep looking like new. However, block paving does allow you to create a look completely unique to you and will provide a more robust finish if you are likey to be using your driveway for loading and unloading and therefore have items, which if dropped create a higher risk of damage to your drive. Individual blocks can simply be replaced whereas a patch repair for a resin driveway is much more problematic.

We've been unhappy with the state of our driveway for some time but weren't sure of the best choice based on our budget. We discussed all the options and settled for a resurfacing of our existing tarmac drive due to costs but with the change in colour, it's made an amazing transformation

Mark T

We were ready for a new driveway as we were fed up with having to deal with weeds and moss build up which never seemed to stay away. After reviewing all the options we decided on a resin driveway and having seem the finish job, it looks amazing. I love driving up to the house now

Susan A

We were ready to look at completely overhauling our driveway so contacted Driveways Sheffield. I had some thoughts on what I wanted and why, but after discussing it further it gave me peace of mind that a traditional cobblestone driveway was what we wanted and I had a good understanding of what would be involved to keep it looking great for years to come
