Our Driveway Services – Styles, Materials & Finishes
Block Paving Driveways
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 Driveways
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 Driveways
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 Driveways
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.
Concrete Driveways (optional if offered)
If durability is your top priority, concrete offers unmatched strength and low upkeep.
It's ideal for high-traffic areas and can be finished with patterns, colour or brushed texture for visual appeal.
The Driveway Installation Process – What to Expect
We start every project with a free site visit and design consultation, where we assess your space, recommend materials, and provide a clear, no-obligation quote. From there, our experienced groundwork team prepares the base, excavating, levelling and compacting the area to ensure proper drainage and load-bearing support.
We then install edging and lay your chosen surface material, whether that’s block paving, tarmac, porcelain or natural stone. Our team works efficiently and tidily throughout, minimising disruption to your home or business. Once complete, we walk you through the finished result and offer care advice, with all work backed by a full workmanship guarantee.

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.

We chose porcelain for a modern look and were impressed with the precision and care taken during installation. The groundwork was solid and well-compacted, and the slabs were laid flawlessly.
They also ensured proper drainage, which was really important to us. It’s now the most attractive and functional part of our property. We’ve already recommended them to family members.

We needed a strong, low-maintenance surface for our driveway, and DAB recommended concrete with brushed finish and recessed drainage channels. From initial quote to final cleanup, they were a pleasure to deal with.
No hidden fees, no delays—just straightforward, honest service. The finished drive is solid, neat, and has completely solved our old water pooling issues. It’s rare to find builders who deliver exactly what they promise. We’ve had compliments from every visitor!

They really knew their stuff and gave us a lot of helpful ideas during the planning stage. The sandstone driveway is now one of our favourite features.
It’s beautifully laid, incredibly solid underfoot, and adds real value to our home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

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.

Fantastic service from a knowledgeable and hard-working team. We needed a large driveway for multiple vehicles, and they handled the scale of the job with no issues.
Porcelain finish looks great, and the installation was quick, clean and built on a solid foundation.

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.
