Quality Driveways

A good quality driveway can add up to 10% to your home’s value

Driveways are not only a functional addition to any home providing off-street parking, but they can also add significant kerb appeal and value to your home as well. In fact, if you have a good quality driveway, you can add as much as 10% to your home’s value.

Block paving remains one of the most popular surfacing options for homeowners, not just in Warwickshire but across the UK. That’s because quality block paving comes in a range of colours and styles to create a bespoke look and block paving is also durable, hard wearing and long lasting. But like all driveways, that’s only if the driveway has been professionally installed.

Hawkstone Driveways of Warwick are passionate about paving. We believe that all aspects of a driveway especially the sub base on which your blocks sit, must be dug to the correct depth, filled with quality crushed and compacted aggregate before a single block is laid. That way, your driveway will be built to last resting on a solid base to prevent sagging and other issues later on. In addition, quality membrane must be installed to prevent any possibility of weed growth between the blocks and the blocks must be secured in place with a border, usually of blocks that have been cemented in place to prevent the rest of the blocks from moving under the weight of vehicles parked on them.

Another popular driveway surfacing option is tarmac. That’s because tarmac is a cost-effective solution. It’s also a very strong and durable surface and provided a tarmac drive is properly and professionally laid, it will stand the test of time. What’s more, with decorative embellishments such as a block border or cobble or block features, a tarmac drive can also have that wow factor than will enhance both the kerb appeal and value of your home.
