Kent FAQ

What are the reasons to invest in a concrete driveway?

Firstly, a concrete driveway is exceptionally hardwearing. They can put up with the punishment that a very busy, or commercial driveway in Kent is placed under on a day-to-day basis. Secondly, a concrete driveway is a very affordable option which will provide great value for money, lasting as long as they do.

Why should I consider a block paving driveway?

The main reason to choose a block paving driveway over alternative materials, is if you want something aesthetically pleasing with an interesting, bespoke design. A block paving driveway can use a combination of different pavers in different colours to create something one of a kind, which you won’t find anywhere else in Kent!

What advantages are there to a tarmac driveway?

Ease of installation, affordability and the very simple, minimalist look to a tarmac driveway are often cited as reasons for investing in these over a block paving or concrete driveway. They’re classic, and often suit modern or new build properties in a way that block paving or concrete might not.

Do I need permission to have a dropped kerb installed?

Yes, but only if you live on a public highway. Private roads do not require permission for dropped kerb installation.
