A great-looking driveway starts long before the final surface is laid.
Whether you choose resin bound, tarmac or block paving, the preparation underneath plays a major part in how well your new driveway performs and how long it lasts.
At West Wales Paving, we know that proper groundwork is just as important as the finished surface.
Before laying a new driveway, the existing area may need to be excavated to the correct depth and a suitable sub-base installed and compacted. Levels also need to be carefully considered to ensure water drains correctly and doesn’t collect around the driveway or property.
Getting these stages right can help reduce the risk of problems such as movement, sinking, cracking and standing water later on.
Every property is different, which is why we assess the existing ground, levels, drainage requirements and intended use of the area before recommending the most suitable preparation and surface.
From the groundwork through to the finishing touches, our aim is to create a driveway that’s practical, durable and built to last.
