  • What is the best material for a driveway in the UK?

    Tarmac - is sleek, hardwearing and affordable. It’s also easy to install and a popular option for driveways in the UK.

    Concrete - is another durable and hardy option. When properly installed, a concrete driveway can last up to 30 years. Consider an imprinted concrete driveway for a more interesting look that keeps the weeds away.

    Block paving - is low maintenance, looks great, and can increase property value. Block paving allows water to drain through the gaps and soak into the ground or run into drains. By reducing flood risks, it’s an environmentally friendly option.

    Gravel - is another cost-effective and easy-to-install driveway material that comes in many styles. It’s also environmentally friendly, letting water drain through it into the ground or nearby drains.

    Not sure which to choose? Get advice from a tradesperson for driveways, patios and paths in Basildon.

  • Do I need planning permission to build a driveway or patio in the UK?

    Driveway builds larger than five square meters or constructed with non-porous materials will require planning permission.

    In contrast, you do not need planning permission for driveways designed to drain efficiently, such as those made of gravel, block paving, or porous concrete. Driveways that allow water to run off naturally into a lawn or garden border also do not require planning permission.
