New Driveways, Built to Last
A new driveway gives your home a clean, solid surface that copes with daily parking for years to come. Prime Paving and Resin lays new driveways in block paving, resin bound, tarmac or gravel, and we explain the look, cost and upkeep of each in plain terms.
Every new driveway starts with digging out the old surface and building a compacted sub-base to suit the ground and the finish going on top. Skimping here is the most common reason driveways sink, rut or crack. We also plan levels, edging and drainage so rainwater runs away from the house.
From our Bedford base we lay new driveways in Flitwick, Cranfield, Olney and across Milton Keynes. The free written quote lists excavation, sub-base, surface and edging, and if you are torn between two surfaces we can price both.
Choose Your New Driveway Service
Block Paving
Hard-wearing blocks in a wide choice of colours and patterns. Individual blocks can be lifted and relaid if a repair is ever needed.
Resin Bound
A smooth, permeable finish that lets rainwater soak through, with no loose stones to scatter across the drive.
Tarmac Driveways
A tough, practical surface that copes well with daily traffic and is usually one of the more cost effective options.
Gravel Driveways
A budget friendly surface that drains freely and is quick to lay, with the satisfying crunch underfoot that deters intruders.

Signs You Need a New Driveway
These are the situations that most often lead people to get in touch about this work, and what each one usually means.
Old Surface Past Saving
When a driveway is breaking up all over, sinking in several places or flooding after rain, a new one is usually better value than more patching.
Turning Lawn Into Parking
Replacing a front garden with a driveway gives you off-road parking and frees the street outside, which matters where on-street spaces are scarce.
A Wider or Longer Drive
Extra vehicles, a caravan or a new garage can mean the existing driveway no longer fits, so the layout needs rethinking from scratch.
A Fresh Look for the Home
After an extension or new windows, an old driveway can look out of place, and a new surface ties the front of the house together.

How a New Driveway Is Built
Choosing the Surface
We measure up, check levels and ground conditions, and help you compare block paving, resin bound, tarmac and gravel for your home and budget.
Excavation & Groundwork
The old surface comes up, the ground is dug out to the depth needed, and any drainage channels or soakaways agreed in the quote go in.
Building the Base
A sub-base of compacted aggregate is laid in layers and edging is set, giving the new surface a firm, stable platform to sit on.
Laying & Final Review
Your chosen surface is laid and finished, the site is cleared, and we review the completed work with you to confirm it all matches what was agreed.
