Rivar Driveways Devon Ltd

Rivar Driveways Devon is an established, family-run surfacing and landscaping company with 20 years' experience. Based in Paignton, we have a workforce of 16 across four dedicated teams, backed by our own fleet of plant and vehicles. We work for homeowners and businesses alike, on properties of every size, from terraced houses and semis to large detached family homes, right up to country houses and manor estates.

What we do

We install new driveways in resin bound, block paving, tarmac, concrete and gravel, whether that means replacing a tired old driveway or laying a new one from scratch. We lay patios in porcelain, sandstone and natural stone. Our landscaping work includes artificial grass, roll-on turf, garden walls and timber fencing. We also carry out drainage work and take on commercial surfacing projects. We use quality materials from trusted suppliers including Marshalls and Brett, and we'll help you choose the right colours, patterns and finishes to suit your property.

Built on proper foundations

A driveway is only as good as what's underneath it. The foundation is the most important part of any job, so that's where we start. We dig out the old surface, check the ground and build a properly compacted sub-base before anything new goes down. We make sure every driveway drains properly, with soakaways and channel drains where needed. We never lay new tarmac over old tarmac or cut corners on preparation. That way your driveway stays level, drains well and lasts for years.

We never subcontract. Every job is carried out by our own teams. We own all our own plant and equipment, including grab lorries and tipper trucks, so we don't depend on hire companies. That means we can start when we say we will and keep the work moving.

Every quote is free and comes with no obligation. We visit your property, talk through what you'd like and give you a clear fixed quote before any work begins. Many projects are finished within a few days to a week, depending on the weather.

We cover Torbay, South Devon, Teignbridge, the South Hams, Exeter and East Devon. That includes Paignton, Torquay, Brixham, Totnes, Dartmouth, Kingsbridge, Salcombe, Ivybridge, Newton Abbot, Teignmouth, Dawlish, Exeter, Topsham, Exminster, Crediton, Exmouth, Sidmouth, Honiton and Budleigh Salterton.

Our customers often mention how well we keep them informed. You'll have a dedicated point of contact from the first visit to the final sweep-up, and the work is carried out exactly as we agreed. We look after your property while we're working, keep the site safe and tidy every day, and clear away all rubble and debris when the job is done.
