Block paving, resin-bound, tarmac and natural stone drives, plus repairs and full replacements, laid across Quedgeley and the surrounding villages.
Driveways in Quedgeley
Quedgeley is mostly modern: Kingsway, Naas Lane and the estates off Bristol Road were built with compact plots, short drives and parking courts. Frontages are small, so every square metre counts and the difference between fitting two cars and one is often the edging detail and where the bin store goes.
The ground is low-lying and close to the Severn, so surface water is a real constraint and permeable finishes are the sensible default. Developer block paving here is thin and laid over a light base, and after a decade it dips where the wheels track. We lift, correct the base and relay where that will hold, and dig out fully where it will not.
What we do
New drives in a full range of blocks, colours and laying patterns. Edge restraints and a compacted sub-base underneath every one.

Questions
Yes, on any adopted road. The county council checks visibility and footway construction. Where a plot fronts a private parking court, the management company also has to agree.
On these low-lying plots, yes in practice. A permeable surface over an open sub-base keeps rainfall on your land, avoids adding to the road drainage and keeps the work within permitted development.
Compact single drives are often two to three days. A double or a drive with new drainage runs to four or five.
