How much does a new driveway cost in Shrewsbury?
The cost of a new driveway in Shrewsbury varies based on size, materials, and ground preparation needed. Block paving driveways typically start from £60-£100 per m², tarmac from £40-£70 per m², and gravel from £30-£50 per m². We provide free, no-obligation quotes after assessing your specific requirements.
Do I need planning permission for a patio in Shrewsbury?
Generally, patios in Shrewsbury don't require planning permission if they're at ground level and don't exceed 50% of your garden area. However, if your property is listed or in a conservation area, restrictions may apply. We always advise checking with local authorities, and our team can guide you through this process.
What's the difference between hard and soft landscaping?
Hard landscaping refers to the solid, non-living elements of your garden such as patios, walls, pathways, and decking. Soft landscaping involves the living elements like plants, trees, lawns, and flowers. We specialize in both, creating balanced outdoor spaces that combine structural elements with beautiful planting schemes.
How long does it take to install a new driveway?
The timeline for driveway installation depends on the size, materials, and any necessary groundworks. Typically, a standard driveway takes 1-2 weeks from excavation to completion. This includes preparing the base layers, installing edging, laying the surface material, and allowing time for settling. We'll provide a specific timeline for your project during the consultation.

We use high-quality materials and expert techniques to create durable, attractive surfaces with various patterns and color options. Block paving is an excellent choice for its longevity, ease of maintenance, and aesthetic appeal.
What is involved in groundworks for a garden project?
Groundworks form the foundation of any landscaping project. This typically includes site clearance, excavation, leveling, installing drainage systems, creating foundations for structures, and preparing base layers for surfaces. Proper groundworks are essential for the longevity and stability of your landscaping features.
How do I maintain my new patio or driveway?
Maintenance requirements vary by material. Block paving may need occasional re-sanding and weed treatment, while tarmac might require sealing every few years. We provide specific aftercare instructions for each project. Generally, regular sweeping, prompt stain removal, and avoiding harsh chemicals will keep your surfaces looking their best for years to come.
