Driveway

Building prices for driveway

Driveways can be made of tarmac, paving slabs, brick (which can be herring bone style or a regular pattern), concrete or gravel. How much each of them costs depends largely on how much work you are willing to do on the driveway yourself. A gravel driveway can look nice and cost little in materials (<£100, of course depending on size) but still requires and awful lot of hard work to make. For all of the methods the first step will be to dig out the ground where the driveway will go. Then a layer hardcore can be compacted down and finally the top surface applied. The compaction step is important as cars are heavy and will cause subsidence in the sturdiest looking driveway.

If your existing concrete or tarmac driveway or path is still in reasonable condition,it can be overlaid with resin bonded gravel without the need to excavate. The system which was origonally designed for use on roads and carriageways as an anti skid measure is now being used successfully on domestic driveways ,car parks, etc,as a decorative surfacing, Using a selection of natural gravels,ranging through the spectrum, and including a variety of golden colours, it is held in place by a resin which has a tenacious bond,and the end result is a gravel drive that is pleasing to the eye without the loose and annoying gravel. As the overlaid surface is only 5mm thick it will not affect dpc or drainage levels. It must be noted that any areas that require attention prior to installation, ie cracks, depressions, potholes ,etc will incur further charges. If you have a tarmac surface that is getting old and tired there is also micro asphalt that can be considered. This is a cold mixed overlay ,comprising of bitumen emulsion,aggregates ,fillers, and dyes. It will coat and seal a distressed or loose tarmac surface and will not allow water penetration. Micro asphalt will also disguise utility trenches,and using a heavier grade can fill potholes and cracks. This material can also be dyed ,the main colours being black, red, and green. Councils throughout the UK use thousands of tonnes of this material every year to maintain carriageways and footpaths. The price range for supplying and application is between £6 and £12 per m2 dependent on grade required. More information can be found at www.drivesandpaths.co.uk £25 m2 UK 2007-08-27
