Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission for a new patio or driveway?
In most cases, replacing a driveway or laying a patio falls under permitted development, provided that rainwater can drain naturally within your property (using permeable paving or a soakaway). We will always advise you during our site survey if your specific project demands planning permission.
How long does a block paving driveway normally take?
A standard double driveway normally takes our team around 4 to 7 days from full excavation to the final sweep. This can vary based on ground conditions, the extent of the sub-base required, and the chosen paving materials.
Do you remove all the waste and soil from the site?
Absolutely. As a professional, fully-insured landscaping company, we handle all waste disposal. We use registered grab lorries or skips to ensure your property is left spotless and all waste is processed responsibly.
When can I walk or drive on my new paving?
You can typically walk on new block paving or patios immediately after we finish joining/pointing. For driveways, we strictly advise waiting 24 hours before parking any vehicles to allow the sub-base and edging materials to fully cure and settle.
Do you handle commercial landscaping projects?
Yes. We are fully equipped and insured to handle both domestic garden projects and larger commercial landscaping contracts across Oxfordshire & Berkshire and the surrounding counties.
My project seems very complex, can you still help?
Don't rule yourself out. We'd rather you give us a call and talk through your situation, no matter how complex or unique it seems. We have over 15 years of experience solving difficult garden and groundwork challenges.
