Cost-effective gravel and shingle surfaces with stabilising grids and defined edgings to keep everything in place and looking tidy.

Driveways built for Caterham

Caterham's hilly terrain means many driveways need stepped or retained designs. We build retaining walls, edgings and drainage channels into the project from the start.

Our approach in Caterham

Building driveways on Caterham's hills is specialist work, and we treat it that way. Before quoting we assess the gradient, the ground conditions and where water runs in heavy rain. Designs often include retaining walls in brick, block or sleeper, stepped entrance sections and linear drainage channels across the drive. For the surface itself, resin-bound gravel and block paving both perform well on slopes, while tarmac suits longer drives on larger plots. We manage the whole job in-house, from excavation and retaining work to the final surface, so there is one team responsible for the result.

Driveway FAQs for Caterham

How long does a new driveway take?

Most domestic driveways take three to seven working days depending on size, excavation and drainage. We confirm a realistic schedule with your written quote.

Do I need planning permission for a driveway?

Usually not if the surface is permeable, such as resin-bound gravel, or drainage runs to a soakaway on your land. We advise on SUDS rules and dropped kerb applications at the survey.

Which driveway surface is best?

It depends on your property and budget. Resin-bound is permeable and low maintenance, block paving is versatile and repairable, tarmac is hard-wearing, and gravel is the most cost-effective. We bring samples to the site visit.

Are you insured?

Yes. We are fully insured, hold a waste carrier licence, and every employee working in Caterham is enhanced DBS checked.
