Dropped Kerbs & Driveway Access: What You Need To Know

Creating Better Access to Your Property

A dropped kerb can provide safe and practical vehicle access from the road to your driveway or parking area. Whether you’re creating a new driveway or improving access to an existing one, correct preparation and installation are important for a neat, durable finish.

At West Wales Paving, we provide dropped kerb and associated groundwork services throughout Pembrokeshire and surrounding areas.

Dropped Kerbs for New Driveways

If you’re creating off-road parking or installing a new driveway, a dropped kerb may form an important part of the overall project.

Our team can undertake the necessary excavation and groundwork and integrate the vehicle access with your new resin bound, tarmac or block paved driveway, creating a consistent finished appearance.

Improving Existing Driveway Access

Dropped kerbs can also be required when widening or improving access to an existing driveway.

We can assess the area and discuss the groundwork and surfacing required to create practical vehicle access while complementing the existing property.

Planning & Permission

Depending on the location and circumstances, permission or approval from the relevant local authority may be required before work to a pavement or highway is carried out.

We recommend checking the requirements for your property before work begins and can discuss the installation requirements with you during your site visit.

Groundwork & Preparation

As with any driveway project, correct preparation is essential. Our groundwork services can include excavation, preparation of the appropriate base, drainage and surfacing as required for the individual project.
