About Us
When it comes to patios and driveways we’ve installed, maintained, and repaired pretty much every style there is out there. Which means we have the experience and the skills to ensure that your dream driveway or perfect patio is exactly the way you’d like it to be and not only that it will stay that way for decades to come. We can advise you on all the different materials, patterns, and designs of driveway and patio to ensure that you get the right match for your property and your own personal taste. Plus we never pull punches when it comes to explaining the pros and cons of each different material and the long term maintenance costs.
From the finest resin bound gravel driveways to gorgeously crunchy (and surprisingly burglar deterring) loose stone chips by way of pavers, blocks, natural stone, brick, and the perennial favourites of tarmac and concrete we do it all when it comes to pathways, patios, and drives. We don’t just do installations, we help with design and advisory services about materials and styles, we can also help you understand the likely maintenance overheads and we contract to supply them and where things have gone a little bit wrong we perform repair work for all materials and types of hardscapes. These are some of our most popular driveway, path, and patio services but our skillset and experience means we range far beyond these to encompass a huge range of services and products so if you don’t see what you’re looking for then get in touch anyway and let’s talk.
Resin driveways are hugely popular for the simple reason that they combine the natural good looks of pea gravel and other natural aggregates with the unnatural perfection of a totally flat and even surface. Proper resin work takes into account the heaviness of the traffic it will need to resist and even the UV radiation it will be expected to shrug off - we can also colour it to suit your exact taste. We take particular pride in thorough preparation and in the fact that by ensuring correct drainage to comply with local bye laws we can resin your driveway without requiring planning permission - a key consideration if you don’t want bureaucratic headaches in the future.
The twin favourites of driveways since, well pretty much since there have been driveways. Both have their fans for different reasons but both are extremely hard wearing and cost efficient. Let us walk you through the pros and cons of each before offering to install, repair, or maintain either of them. You will truly be surprised at the range of different looks now available with these perennial driveway stars.
Natural, crunchy gravel will always be a great choice for driveways because it looks terrific, offers great drainage, and sounds good into the bargain. Choosing the right kind of gravel (actually gravels because the best driveways involve three different sizes of layered aggregate to ensure long life) for your property is one of our skills, as is preparing the driveway to keep that gravel where you want it to stay.
“Hayes Driveways did a brilliant job of taking our old cracked concrete pathways and resurfacing them with perfect modern textured and coloured concrete to create a completely new look for the house.” - Dave T.
“Hayes Driveways did a fantastic job for us of repairing a tired looking tarmac drive and bringing new life to our pathways and patios with some snazzy looking custom swirl block patterns. The result is genuinely a pleasure to come home to every day.” - John L.
“We started out looking for a new surface for the driveway but after Hayes Driveways showed us what they could do with resin bonded gravel we expanded the idea to include some carport areas in front of the building as well. The result looks absolutely spectacular and has transformed the look and feel of the entire property.” - Cheryl D.
Block paving comes in a dazzling array of different styles and colours but whichever one you choose you get to benefit from precision interlacing of blocks meaning perfect patterns including herringbone or rectilinear. Let us help you choose an off the page design or come up with a customised pattern for your property.
For a lot of properties the driveway was a bit of an afterthought compared to the rest of the design and in the case of properties built before private car ownership became popular the driveway may not really suit modern tastes. Let us help you point out how driveways can be updated and what can and can’t be done without involving planning permission or drainage issues.
Perfect patios and paths are our forte so let us explain how you can have dreamy outdoor living spaces and paths that skillfully guide guests around the finer features of your property rather than just leading straight from A to B. We can supply or maintain any kind of pathway from wood look concrete to natural stone slabs, gravel, blocks, or textured concrete so give us a call and let’s start designing your dream.
Driveways that are improperly installed, or even sometimes properly installed, are raised or lowered by natural occurrences beyond the control of the clients. Sometimes when installing driveways, the installers are unaware of the ground conditions of the area where the driveway is to be installed, such as the ground being too soft. In order to avoid problems like this, our skilled workers would conduct a thorough land survey. Often driveways will need to be built on sloping ground, on a raised flat platform above a slope, or in an a lowered area exacavated from a garden. We will be able to handle these scenarios.
Driveway repair refers to the use of various procedures to repair driveways that have ditches, require resurfacing, or require total replacement. Driveways are very durable and can last for a long time, but in the case of inheritance, one may wish to replace and renovate inherited buildings due to their traditional appearance or for other reasons. In addition, conditions such as scaling and cracks can necessitate the repair or replacement of driveways. We provide dutiful repair and replacement services that truly meet our clients' expectations.
Don’t delay - whether it’s transforming your daydreams into dream drives or calming your concerns about planning permission and practical performance we have the knowledge you need to ensure that your outdoor spaces are as distinctive, hardworking, hardwearing, and good looking as you could possibly want them to be. So get in touch today and let’s start planning those pathways, patios, and dream driveways.
