Our yard is on Lymm Road in Thelwall, a few miles from Appleton, so we work in the area all the time. For over 40 years our family-run team has been laying driveways, patios and groundworks for homeowners across Appleton, Appleton Thorn, Stretton and Grappenhall Heys.
We install block paving, resin driveways, tarmac and imprinted concrete, and we do the groundworks and drainage ourselves. That means one team from the first dig to the final sweep, and a driveway built on a properly prepared base so it lasts.
Just Down the Road
Our yard is in Thelwall, WA4, a few miles away, so we can survey quickly and be on site without long travel days.

Driveway Materials We Specialise In
Tarmac Driveways
A practical, hard-wearing choice for Appleton homes and commercial sites, and a cost-effective way to cover larger areas.
Block Paving
Classic block paved driveways in a wide choice of colours and patterns, well suited to everything from terraces to large detached homes.
Resin Bound Surfaces
Smooth, modern and permeable. A popular option where water run-off and front garden drainage need to be considered.
Imprinted Concrete
Patterned and coloured concrete that gives a decorative finish with the strength of a solid concrete slab.
Driveways to Suit Every Appleton Home
Appleton is mostly detached and semi-detached homes, many on generous plots, from established roads around Appleton Park to newer developments at Grappenhall Heys. Larger frontages often suit a mix of materials, such as block paving with a contrasting border or a resin drive with planted edges.

Frequently Asked Questions About Driveways in Appleton
How much does a new driveway cost in Appleton?
It depends on the size of the area, the material, how much excavation is needed and whether new drainage is required. The quickest way to get an accurate figure is a free site visit, after which we’ll give you a clear, no-obligation quote.
Do I need planning permission for a new driveway in Appleton?
Usually not, if the surface is permeable (such as resin bound or permeable block paving) or rainwater drains onto a lawn or border. Covering more than 5 square metres of a front garden with a non-permeable surface that drains onto the road normally needs planning permission. If you need a dropped kerb, that is applied for separately through Appleton Borough Council. We’ll advise you during the survey.
How long does a driveway installation take?
Most residential driveways take a few days from excavation to finish, depending on size, material and groundwork. We’ll give you a timeline with your quote so you know what to expect.
Which driveway material is best for a Appleton home?
It depends on your property, budget and drainage. Block paving and tarmac are hard-wearing all-rounders, resin bound is permeable and low maintenance, and imprinted concrete gives a decorative finish. We’ll recommend the best fit when we visit.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, we stand behind our workmanship, and material guarantees vary by product. We’ll explain exactly what’s covered for your driveway when we quote.
Can you match a driveway to an older or period property?
Yes. We regularly work on older terraces and period homes as well as modern estates, and can choose materials and edging that suit the style of the house.
What maintenance will my new driveway need?
Very little. Block paving benefits from an occasional clean and re-sanding of the joints, tarmac may need resealing over time, and resin bound mainly needs regular sweeping and washing. We’ll give you aftercare advice when the job is finished.
Can you sort out drainage problems on my driveway?
Yes. Standing water is one of the most common problems we’re asked to fix. We assess the existing drainage and, where needed, install channel drains, soakaways or a permeable surface so water goes where it should.
