Block paving is one of the more visually interesting options, and can be used in driveways, walls, floors and more. By using an interlocking pattern of different coloured bricks, this material creates a driveway that fits nearly any style of property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Benefits:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Aesthetics \u2013 variable, dynamic and stylish<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Standard set-ups can be relatively cheap<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Damages are easy to fix, as individual blocks can be repaired<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flexible for multiple designs and purposes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Highly durable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Drawbacks:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Spacing between the blocks can allow weeds to grow \u2013 leading to repeated cleaning costs down the line<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>May need planning permission<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Most stylish and dynamic patterns can drive up driveway cost<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Asphalt\/Tarmac<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"559\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.anytrades.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/shutterstock_1219213672-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8076 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/559;aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.local-quotes.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/shutterstock_1219213672-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.local-quotes.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/shutterstock_1219213672-1-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.local-quotes.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/shutterstock_1219213672-1-768x429.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asphalt&#8217;s cheap nature keeps the cost of a new driveway down. This makes it a great choice if you have a small budget or other renovation projects that you still need to balance the funding for. Due to the specialised machinery and tools needed to install tarmac, however, it is unsuitable for DIY projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Benefits:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tarmac is highly durable, given that it\u2019s the same material used in roads<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Affordable, although over very small areas it can end up being more expensive than options such as block paving<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Multiple types of coloured binding agents to make it customisable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Drawbacks:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Retains extreme heat during hot days<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Low visual appeal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repairs, while not difficult, leave the tarmac looking worse<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oil, petrol and diesel spills can damage asphalt\/tarmac<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resin Bonding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are two types of resin driveways \u2013 bound and bonded. They are both made from UV resistant resin mixed with collections of small stones. Once dry, a resin driveway will have a smooth finish that can come in an array of patterns and colours. This makes them highly flexible and appropriate for nearly any property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bound and bonded \u2013 what\u2019s the difference?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The key difference between the two is in their permeability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bonded resin driveways<\/strong> are non-permeable. This means that water will not be absorbed by the resin and, if your driveway slants down toward a road, can cause small streams of water to move down towards the road in heavy rain. As a result, you may need to seek planning permission to have resin driveways in these circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Benefits (of bonded):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Quick to install<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High resistance to extremely cold weather condition \u2013 won\u2019t be damaged by freezing\/thawing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not susceptible to weed infestation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Drawbacks (of bonded):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Repairing resin driveways is difficult, and could incur high labour costs in order to fix it<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Potential need for planning permission<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bound resin driveways<\/strong>, by comparison, are permeable. They act in agreement with <a href=\"#gotohere2\">SuDs regulations<\/a>, as they allow water to sink through into the ground underneath. This form of resin is hand trowelled so that the final surface is smooth and without irregularities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Benefits (of bound):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>No planning permission required<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Smooth finished surface<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Highly durable, low maintenance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not susceptible to weed infestation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Drawbacks (of bound):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Difficult to repair<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slippery in wet conditions, or on icy days<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Concrete<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arguably the most popular driveway choice in the UK. It\u2019s incredibly durable when constructed properly but, if laid poorly, can crack. Due to the variety of types of concrete available, it also carries one of the wider price ranges.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.anytrades.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/shutterstock_564992131-1-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8077 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/200;aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:cover\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.local-quotes.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/shutterstock_564992131-1-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.local-quotes.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/shutterstock_564992131-1-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.local-quotes.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/shutterstock_564992131-1-1.jpg 1000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Benefits:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lifespan of up to 40 years when laid correctly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customisable style \u2013 lots of different colours of concrete are available<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No sealing required<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Low maintenance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some makes are relatively affordable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Made from renewable materials, so concrete is more eco-friendly than options like asphalt<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Non-slip surface makes walking on concrete safer too<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Drawbacks:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cheaper options are less visually interesting and less durable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When maintenance is necessary, it can be expensive and difficult to do<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Low temperatures can cause it to crack<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gravel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A quick, cheap option, and one of the most popular in the UK.

This option involves paving the driveway with irregularly shaped tiles to create an asymmetric aesthetic that\u2019s different for every home. While more interesting visually, it takes a much greater level of skill to install correctly. If laid incorrectly, the paving will crack under the weight of vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Benefits:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cheap, even compared to block paving<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unique visual identity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Variety of colours, so it can match any style of home<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Drawbacks:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Can break easily if installed poorly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Takes longer to pave, and requires higher skill \u2013 more intensive labour can increase driveway costs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not the strongest paving option<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"gotohere2\">Planning permission and SuDS regulations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Something to consider when building a new driveway are SuDS, or sustainable drainage systems. Normally when it rains the water soaks into the ground and, if it\u2019s not torrential rain, it doesn\u2019t cause water hazards. This is because the soil is permeable and allows for a process called infiltration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, some driveway installations can involve non-permeable materials, and as such can inadvertently create problems involving rain runoff. Bonded resin driveways have, for example, a non-permeable surface and could create SuDS issues as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, if you replace a permeable driveway surface with bonded resin you first need to secure planning permission. By installing a bonded resin driveway, you could unintentionally be reducing the sustainable drainage in the area. Doing this can infract upon the guidelines of The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), which monitors potential flood risks. If you\u2019re set on having a driveway of this kind its important to contact your local authorities first. They need to advise on whether your planned renovations meet the requirements for SuDS and, if not, why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Susdrain has more detailed information on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.susdrain.org\/delivering-suds\/using-suds\/delivery\/planning.html\">SuDS and planning<\/a> if you\u2019re in a flood prone area and think it would be helpful to have more detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s worth pointing out that SuDS regulations are different in England, Scotland and Wales. So, check with your local council for specific guidance in addition to researching more generalised online sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Violating SuDS regulations is one of many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anytrades.co.uk\/10-mistakes-avoid-patio-driveway\/\">driveway mistakes to avoid<\/a>. Check out our other article to make sure you don&#8217;t make one of 10 common blunders.

Whereas a smaller driveway (or one set on an incline) is likely better off made from bound resin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bonded driveway<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Driveway area<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Additional driveway cost<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>25m<sup>2<\/sup><\/td><td>\u00a3600 &#8211; \u00a3700<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>50m<sup>2<\/sup><\/td><td>\u00a31200 &#8211; \u00a31300<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>80m<sup>2<\/sup><\/td><td>\u00a32000 \u2013 \u00a32100<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>150m<sup>2<\/sup><\/td><td>\u00a33700 &#8211; \u00a33800<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>200m<sup>2<\/sup><\/td><td>\u00a34800 &#8211; \u00a35150<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bound driveway<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Driveway area<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Additional driveway cost<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>25m<sup>2<\/sup><\/td><td>\u00a31000 &#8211; \u00a31100<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>50m<sup>2<\/sup><\/td><td>\u00a31200 &#8211; \u00a31350<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>80m<sup>2<\/sup><\/td><td>\u00a33100 &#8211; \u00a33250<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>150m<sup>2<\/sup><\/td><td>\u00a35800 &#8211; \u00a36200<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>200m<sup>2<\/sup><\/td><td>\u00a37750 &#8211; \u00a38200<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"gotohere10\">Concrete Driveway Cost<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Driveway area<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Additional driveway cost<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>25m<sup>2<\/sup><\/td><td>\u00a3850 &#8211; \u00a3950<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>50m<sup>2<\/sup><\/td><td>\u00a31700 &#8211; \u00a31800<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>80m<sup>2<\/sup><\/td><td>\u00a32800 &#8211; \u00a33000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>150m<sup>2<\/sup><\/td><td>\u00a35100 &#8211; \u00a35300<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>200m<sup>2<\/sup><\/td><td>\u00a36900 &#8211; \u00a37150<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"gotohere11\">Gravel Driveway Cost<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Driveway area<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Additional driveway cost<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>25m<sup>2<\/sup><\/td><td>\u00a3750 &#8211; \u00a3900<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>50m<sup>2<\/sup><\/td><td>\u00a31400 &#8211; \u00a31600<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>80m<sup>2<\/sup><\/td><td>\u00a32350 &#8211; \u00a32500<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>150m<sup>2<\/sup><\/td><td>\u00a34250 &#8211; \u00a34400<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>200m<sup>2<\/sup><\/td><td>\u00a35850 &#8211; \u00a36200<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"gotohere12\">Slab \/ Crazy Paving Driveway Cost<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Driveway area<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Additional driveway cost<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>25m<sup>2<\/sup><\/td><td>\u00a31200 &#8211; \u00a31300<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>50m<sup>2<\/sup><\/td><td>\u00a32400 &#8211; \u00a32550<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>80m<sup>2<\/sup><\/td><td>\u00a34000 &#8211; \u00a34100<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>150m<sup>2<\/sup><\/td><td>\u00a37350 &#8211; \u00a37550<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>200m<sup>2<\/sup><\/td><td>\u00a39500 &#8211; \u00a310500<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"gotohere4\">How much does driveway foundation cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.anytrades.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/400x400-driveways2.png\" alt=\"Image of driveway being laid\" class=\"wp-image-531 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While this may increase your driveway cost, laying a solid foundation for your driveway will save you money in the long term. This is because a well installed foundation will ensure your driveway lasts longer, reducing the need for upkeep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tip number one is to avoid using basic paving. As its lifespan is quite short, it will require repairs quicker than other foundational materials. This will force you to need to re-build your driveway more often that you would normally, causing unnecessary expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you decide to invest heavily at this stage, here are some of the potential driveway costs involved:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Skip hire:<\/strong> You\u2019ll likely end up creating a lot of mess as you renovate the front area of your house, and you\u2019ll need somewhere to put any refuse. Skip hire costs aren\u2019t too expensive, with most running at around <strong>\u00a320 to \u00a380 a week<\/strong>. If you\u2019re digging out a large amount of existing brickwork, plants or shrubbery this will likely be very useful.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Weed mat: <\/strong>Not intended to be a permanent fixture, but still useful as you redesign the exterior of your house. Usually made of plastic or some form of cloth, a weed mat is laid over a patch of weeds to prevent them getting sunlight, starving them. At the same time, weed mats allow water to soak through into the soil to prevent it from going completely barren.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Plate compactor: <\/strong>These machines look like lawnmowers but work by passing a vibrating plate over ground in order to compact it. Buying one outright can cost anywhere from \u00a3200 to \u00a31000 which, if you\u2019re not a professional tradesman, is extremely expensive. Instead, you can hire a plate compactor, also called a Wacker plate, for around <strong>\u00a325 per day<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>8-Inch hardcore base: <\/strong>This is the foundational element. An eight-inch layer of compacted blocks often made of rubble or like materials. This commonly costs between <strong>\u00a335 to \u00a370 per tonne<\/strong> (depending on the resources used) plus potential labour costs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mini-digger hire: <\/strong>For the bigger projects; a great compliment if you need to dig out room for the hardcore base. These should only be operated by a trained professional. Untrained use can lead to unintentional damage to your property. Hiring a mini-digger can increase driveway costs from around <strong>\u00a3130 to \u00a3160 per week<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"gotohere5\">How much does it cost to get your driveway cleaned?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over time, your driveway is going to accumulate dirt, scuffs, mould and weeds. While this may make it look less appealing, it can be fixed. Lots of tradespeople offer driveway cleaning services. This can include pressure hose cleaning, manual weed removal and various other treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below is a list of average prices for a variety of sizes of driveway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Driveway area<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td><td>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Additional driveway cost<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">25m<sup>2<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/td><td>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a345 &#8211; \u00a360<\/p>\n<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">50m<sup>2<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/td><td>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a375 &#8211; \u00a385<\/p>\n<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">80m<sup>2<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/td><td>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a3110 &#8211; \u00a3120<\/p>\n<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">150m<sup>2<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/td><td>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a3140 &#8211; \u00a3160<\/p>\n<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">200m<sup>2<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/td><td>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a3180 &#8211; \u00a3220<\/p>\n<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"gotohere6\">How can I save money on my driveway?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get multiple quotes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you&#8217;ve probably noticed, it\u2019s difficult to give an exact price when estimating driveway costs. This is because the cost of materials and mark ups from suppliers can vary. Before you commit any money to a driveway project, make sure to get multiple quotes so you can narrow down the exact cost of your chosen materials, plus labour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fill out the form at the bottom of this page and Quotatis will put you in touch with multiple experienced tradespeople. They can give you a series of quotes so you can find the best one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anytrades.co.uk\/advice-picking-driveway-installer\/\">advice on how to pick a driveway installer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Budget<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As with any renovation project, it\u2019s important to know the upper limit of what you\u2019re willing to spend. This includes every part of the driveway cost, from buying materials to paying for labour to hiring any equipment. The last thing you want is to set a modest budget, get most of the way through building your driveway and find yourself out of funds because of a cost you didn\u2019t anticipate. After all, an unfinished driveway is not the most visually appealing thing you could add to the front of your house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Soft materials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Assuming your driveway isn\u2019t set at an incline, it may be possible to save some money on the materials. Slanted driveways require denser, heavier materials that will shift less in the ground. These materials tend to run at a slightly higher price. Flat driveway costs, by comparison, can be lower as you can afford to use softer materials in both the surface layers and sometimes the hardcore base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DIY vs professionals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While we recommend using one of our highly experienced professionals, if you have a background in construction or only have a tiny area to change, DIY can be a viable option. This is most appropriate for working on small areas, no more than 5-10m<sup>2<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alternatively, you could hire professional tradesmen to build the driveways itself and then save money by landscaping around it yourself. With this, you can add a personal touch by decorating the driveway with whatever flowers and foliage you\u2019d love to see as you park up. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anytrades.co.uk\/beautiful-driveway\/\">beautiful driveway<\/a> can really improve the exterior of your home, and it doesn&#8217;t have to incur large driveway costs either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take your time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t rush! It can be frustrating the longer you have to wait to get the driveway of your dreams, but if you commit to a material or design without thinking it through you might come to regret it. The downside to this, outside of being unhappy with it, is if you want to fix it, you\u2019ll have to go through the whole renovation process again. This means you can end up spending double the money you intended to (or budgeted for) before you get what you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With all this information at hand, you should be armed with all you need to make the right choice for your home. Cheap options might be attractive, but if they require constant maintenance and repairs that benefit will fade over time. Conversely, the most expensive choice doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s the most appropriate. Ultimately, it&#8217;s about balancing functionality, aesthetics and the total cost of paving a driveway to get the installation of your dreams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most driveways are often passed over when it comes to home redesigns \u2013 built more for function than style.
