Over the years we've installed a wide variety of driveways including:
Block Paving Driveways
Block paving remains one of the most popular driveway choices in Sale, offering a durable surface with a wide choice of colours, laying patterns and border details.
We install block paved driveways using quality paving from leading manufacturers including Marshalls and Tobermore. Each driveway is individually designed around the property, whether you need additional parking, a traditional finish or a more contemporary design.
Correct excavation, sub-base preparation, drainage, edge restraints and installation are all considered as part of the project.

Large driveways

Multiple vehicles

Tarmac Driveways
Tarmac is a practical and durable choice for driveways, particularly for larger areas or properties requiring a clean, hard-wearing surface.
We install new tarmac driveways throughout Sale and can combine tarmac with contrasting block-paved or natural stone borders to create a more distinctive finish. We can also undertake driveway extensions and replacement of older, worn surfaces where appropriate.
Proper ground preparation, levels, edging and drainage are essential to the longevity of a tarmac driveway and are considered as part of every installation.
Perfect for:
-
Large driveways
-
Heavy use
-
Modern properties
Permeable Driveways in Sale
Permeable driveways are designed to help manage surface water by allowing rainfall to drain through the driveway system rather than simply running onto the road or surrounding areas.
We install a range of permeable driveway solutions in Sale, including permeable block paving, permeable tarmac and Core Gravel systems. The most suitable option will depend on the property, ground conditions, appearance required and how the driveway will be used.
Correct construction of the permeable sub-base and drainage system is particularly important, and we can advise on a suitable solution as part of the driveway design.
Core Gravel Driveways
Core Gravel provides the appearance of a traditional gravel driveway with a stabilising cellular grid beneath the surface. It can create an attractive, practical and permeable finish while helping to reduce gravel movement under vehicles and foot traffic.
It works particularly well for both traditional and contemporary properties and can be combined with contrasting paving or stone edging.
Patio Installers in Sale
We design and install patios throughout Sale, from contemporary porcelain paving to traditional Indian sandstone and natural stone. Whether you are replacing an existing patio, creating a new seating area or incorporating paving into a wider garden transformation, we can help with the complete installation.
Our patio work includes excavation and ground preparation, levels and drainage, paving installation, steps, edging and finishing details. Browse some examples of our completed patio and garden projects below.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new driveway cost in Sale?
The cost depends on the driveway size, existing ground conditions, drainage requirements, access and the surface chosen. Block paving, tarmac, Core Gravel, permeable systems and natural stone all have different installation costs. We provide a site-specific quotation after assessing the property and proposed work.
For indicative prices, see our Driveway Cost Guide & Calculator.

Do I need planning permission for a new driveway?
In many cases planning permission is not required, but drainage is important when creating or replacing a front driveway. Permeable surfaces or suitable drainage may be required depending on the design and where surface water will discharge. We can discuss the practical drainage options when assessing your driveway.
Which driveway surface is best?
There is no single best surface for every property. Block paving offers excellent design flexibility, tarmac provides a practical and durable finish, while Core Gravel and other permeable systems can be particularly useful where drainage is a priority. We can recommend suitable options based on your property, budget and preferred appearance.
How long does a new driveway take to install?
Installation time varies according to size, access, excavation, drainage and the chosen surface. A straightforward residential driveway may take several working days, while larger or more complex projects can take longer. We will discuss the expected programme before work begins.
What is the best paving for a patio?
Porcelain is popular for contemporary, low-maintenance patios, while Indian sandstone and limestone provide the variation and character of natural stone. The best choice depends on the style of your property, garden, budget and the finish you prefer.
Can you extend an existing driveway?
Yes. We regularly enlarge existing driveways to provide additional off-road parking. This can involve removing lawn or garden areas, adjusting levels and drainage and integrating the extension with the existing driveway or replacing the complete surface where appropriate.
Do you install permeable driveways?
Yes. We install permeable block paving, permeable tarmac and Core Gravel systems. We can advise which system is appropriate for the property and proposed driveway.
What areas do you cover?
Our core area includes Sale, Altrincham, Timperley, Hale and Bowdon, with projects also undertaken across surrounding parts of Trafford, South Manchester and Cheshire.
