Block paving, resin-bound, tarmac and natural stone drives, plus repairs and full replacements, laid across Winchcombe and the surrounding villages.
Driveways in Winchcombe
Winchcombe is a Cotswold town, and the material choice follows the buildings. Stone cottages on North Street, Hailes Street and Gloucester Street have small frontages, often shared, and the right finish is usually gravel, resin-bound in a Cotswold blend, or riven stone rather than a modern concrete block.
Outside the centre, houses off Greet Road and towards Sudeley have longer drives on rising ground, where water runs off the hill and cuts channels through loose gravel every winter. Bound surfaces and proper edge restraints solve that. Access for lorries is tight on the older streets, so we plan deliveries and muck-away before we start.
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
On narrow Winchcombe streets it is often refused on visibility and footway width. The county council decides. We will look at your frontage and tell you whether it is worth applying.
Gravel, resin-bound in a natural aggregate and riven stone all read correctly against Cotswold stone, and all of them are permeable, which keeps you clear of the planning threshold.
Two to three days for a small forecourt, four to six for a longer sloping drive with edgings and drainage. Restricted access can add a day for barrowing.
