With autumn here and winter approaching, choosing a driveway surface that can cope with the Welsh weather is important. Heavy rainfall, colder temperatures and occasional frost all need to be considered.
Resin Bound is a popular choice for its modern appearance and, when installed on the correct permeable base, allows water to drain through the surface - particularly useful during periods of heavy rain.
Tarmac is a strong and practical option that can withstand regular vehicle use and the changing weather conditions we experience throughout West Wales. With the correct groundwork and drainage, it provides a durable, low-maintenance finish.
Block Paving is another excellent option, combining durability with a wide choice of colours, styles and patterns. Individual blocks can also be replaced if they become damaged or stained.
There isn’t one surface that suits every property. Ground conditions, drainage, driveway size and the finish you prefer all play a part in choosing the right option.
At West Wales Paving, we can assess your property and advise on the most suitable surface for your home.
