Driveways Aldridge

So, you have made the decision to install a driveway, but what kind of driveway is likely to be perfect for your requirements? There are many types of driveway available, as I'm certain you will be aware, but these might not all appeal to you. If you don't have a lot of cash to spend on such a project, your style and material options will be constrained by what you can afford. Other things that might affect your final decision will be the dimensions and configuration of your garden, and exactly how the driveway will blend in with the appearance of your house.

Whilst walking around Aldridge you'll likely have noticed all the various different sorts of driveway. You will be able to see shingle driveways, cobbled driveways, tarmac driveways, resin driveways, permeable driveways, imprinted concrete driveways, concrete driveways, natural flagstone driveways, asphalt driveways and block paved driveways, in various permutations, however this will still give you a perception of some of the possible choices.

What Kind is Best? There are a few things that it is advisable to consider before coming to a decision about which of these is ideal for your circumstances. You should certainly think about the following factors - 1. Local authority planning permission - is planning permission required for your driveway? 2. The lie of the land - is the area sloped or flat? 3. What is the drainage like in your garden - does water accumulate where you're wanting to install your driveway?

Although you might presume that you are entitled to plonk a driveway wherever you please on your property, this isn't always the case. There are in reality regulations pertaining to the installation of driveways in Aldridge, and those are UK-wide rules, not simply local. You will only have to be concerned with these rules if you are installing a driveway in the FRONT garden of your home. This legislation, which is known as the Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) has been in force since October 2008, when it was first announced.

The SuDS legislation applies to driveways installed in front gardens with an area of over 5m². You won't have to stress about this if you build your driveway from a porous (permeable) material like permeable concrete block, aggregate (gravel), porous asphalt, resin or grass (monoblock), which will permit any excess rainwater to pass through and drain away successfully.

Folks in Aldridge who are not fazed by a bit of hard graft and are fairly good at do-it-yourself, may be tempted to build a driveway on their own. But don't suppose that installing driveways is an easy task, seeing that aside from actually laying the driveway there's a lot of hauling materials, waste removal and heavy digging required during this type of endeavour. If you are in any doubt about whether you would be able to accomplish a project like this, it might be advisable to call in an experienced driveway specialist.

Dependable tradespeople are often not that easy to get hold of in relation to conducting this sort of project, so you need to take care and choose the right contractor or person. There are a lot of cowboys and rogue traders out there who will soon pocket your money and do a shoddy job (or even no work at all quite often!). If you would like your finished driveway to endure, and look good for many years to come, you might as well have it done to a decent standard and by someone with some know-how. If a locally based driveway paving company has been operating in and around Aldridge for a number of years, it's logical to believe that they'll be dependable, and a decent choice for your driveway installation assignment.

When screening these companies, you should at least find out how long they've been running their business, ask to look at a portfolio of earlier projects, ask them what guarantees they offer on their work, ask if they are a member of an official trade body such as ANTSCA, ask for some references from previous clients and verify that they have insurance protection.

You do not need to be too pushy with these questions, given that what you're really endeavouring to do is get an idea about the kind of individual that you're going to be working with. Any driveway installer in Aldridge who's ready to respond to all your questions, and put your mind at rest about the calibre of the work they'll be doing, will probably also be genuine and trustworthy. You can deduce that they are less than honest or hiding something if they seem hesitant or confrontational when asked such questions. If that transpires you would be smart to give them a miss and try another company.

If you take care and choose a really professional driveway specialist, they'll help you to make all the most important judgements in relation to your project, such as the best materials, the preferred location and the ideal driveway technique. And that's not the end of it, because they will also be on top of all the preparation, design and planning that is required for your new driveway installation.

Driveway design needs to consider elements like accessibility, traffic flow and drainage to ensure a functional outcome. Careful planning and attention to detail are necessary for effective driveway design, regardless of whether it is for a residential or commercial property.

A professional driveway company in Aldridge will supply you with an asphalt drive that will give you years of pleasure, with minimal maintenance involved. If your local council has restrictions that prevent non-permeable materials being used, in order to preclude local flooding, a special permeable asphalt substrate allows rainwater to drain into a sub-layer.

Asphalt driveways are well designed to successfully withstand anything that Aldridge winters can chuck at them, and deliver very good value. Due to how asphalt is manufactured, it is also cheap and easy to maintain, repair and when necessary, remove. It can be seen to be the most eco-friendly of hard driveway materials since it's even possible to recycle an asphalt drive for use in another location.
