Our Driveway Services – Styles, Materials & Finishes

Block paving is one of the most popular choices for modern homes.
It’s highly durable, easy to repair, and available in a wide variety of colours, patterns and finishes to suit both traditional and contemporary designs.
Indian Stone Driveways
Known for its natural beauty and warm tones, Indian sandstone creates a premium, elegant finish.
It’s ideal for homeowners wanting a natural stone driveway with a distinctive, high-end look.

Porcelain paving is sleek, low-maintenance and exceptionally hard-wearing.
It’s great for achieving a clean, modern aesthetic and offers excellent resistance to staining, moss and algae.

Tarmac is a practical and cost-effective option that’s perfect for driveways with heavy use.
It offers a smooth, uniform finish and pairs well with decorative edging for a refined look.

Gravel is an affordable, quick-to-install solution that provides excellent drainage and a classic rural feel.
Available in a range of colours and sizes, gravel works well for both homes and long private drives.

It's ideal for high-traffic areas and can be finished with patterns, colour or brushed texture for visual appeal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best driveway surface for low maintenance?
Porcelain and tarmac are both excellent low-maintenance choices. Porcelain resists staining and moss, while tarmac is easy to clean and doesn’t require sealing.
How long does a new driveway take to install?
Most driveways are completed within 3–7 days, depending on size, materials and site conditions.
Do you remove old driveways before installation?
Yes. We handle full removal and disposal of your old driveway surface as part of our service.
Will my new driveway need planning permission?
Generally, planning permission is not required for permeable surfaces or if water drains to a lawn or border. We can advise during the consultation.
Can you install edging or steps as part of the driveway?
Absolutely. We can add features like kerb edging, steps, drainage channels and borders to complete the look.

From our first meeting, it was clear that DAB Building take pride in their work. They arrived exactly when they said they would, prepared the base thoroughly, and laid the tarmac perfectly.
We had kerb edging installed too, which finishes it off nicely. No hidden costs, great communication throughout, and a really clean finish. Our driveway now looks fantastic and functions brilliantly.

DAB transformed our long, uneven gravel driveway into a sleek and modern entrance with porcelain tiles. Their prep work was extensive—they dug out the old base, compacted it properly, and ensured drainage was built in.
The final result is low-maintenance and stylish, and we no longer get water pooling or loose stones everywhere. They turned up when they said they would, finished on schedule, and charged exactly what was quoted. Genuinely delighted with the entire project.

We’re absolutely over the moon with our new porcelain driveway. DAB’s team worked in all weather to get the job done, and the final result is stunning.
It’s low maintenance, easy to clean, and adds so much kerb appeal. They handled everything from start to finish—digging out the old concrete, adding proper sub-base, and laying every tile with precision. Communication was excellent throughout. The transformation has been unbelievable, and it was worth every penny.

We asked DAB for a low-maintenance but attractive driveway solution, and they came up with the perfect idea—gravel with clean block borders and some added drainage. It’s made a huge difference to how the house looks and functions.
They were organised, responsive, and always happy to answer questions. It’s not often you find builders who care this much about the little details.

The work DAB Building did on our gravel driveway exceeded expectations. They made sure the base was properly compacted, installed neat timber edging, and laid the gravel evenly with great attention to detail.
It’s now easier to drive on and maintain. Their knowledge and advice throughout made the whole project stress-free. It’s rare to find contractors this reliable and consistent. I’d use them again in a heartbeat and have already recommended them to family.

We had a sloped and awkward front yard, but the team handled it like pros. The new tarmac drive levels everything off perfectly and makes parking much easier.
They even added a small step and edge detail that really sets it off.

I’m so pleased we went with DAB for our driveway. The team listened carefully to our ideas and even helped us tweak the original design for better flow.
We went with block paving, and the pattern really makes a statement. It’s practical and eye-catching at the same time.

Our property was badly let down by its tired old drive. We hired DAB to install new block paving, and I can’t believe the transformation.
It looks crisp, well-structured, and is clearly built to last. The team were polite and respectful throughout, left no mess, and delivered exactly what we were promised.

I’ve had several tradespeople work on my house over the years, but this team was one of the most professional. They handled everything—from excavation and sub-base to finishing our Indian sandstone driveway—with care and precision.
It’s a huge upgrade, and I’m thrilled with the final result.

After years of putting up with a crumbling concrete drive, we finally got DAB in to replace it with a gravel finish. The result is not only functional but looks fantastic.
The team worked fast, kept us informed throughout, and even helped us tweak the layout slightly during installation to better suit our parking. It’s now safer, more attractive, and easier to maintain.
