Crawley, RH10 and RH11

# Driveways in Crawley
A driveway is the first thing anyone sees and the hardest-working surface on the property. Done properly it carries daily vehicle loads for decades; done badly it sinks, spreads at the edges and pools water against the house.

## Typical Crawley project cost
Most residential driveways we complete land between £4,000 and £12,000 depending on size, material and how much excavation and drainage the ground demands.

## How long it takes
A typical single or double driveway takes 5 to 10 working days on site.

## What driveways work in Crawley actually involves
Much of Crawley sits on Weald Clay, which holds water and moves seasonally. Sub-bases need extra depth and compaction here, and drainage has to be designed in rather than added at the end.

Crawley's neighbourhood layout means a high proportion of post-war semis and estate housing with short frontages and shared boundaries — access planning and tidy site management matter as much as the build itself.

Every drive gets a full dig-out, geotextile membrane, compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base at a depth matched to the ground conditions, proper edge restraint haunched in concrete, and falls set away from the building.

We work across Crawley and the surrounding villages — Furnace Green, Tilgate, Pound Hill, Maidenbower, Ifield, Southgate — and reach most addresses in under 20 minutes. Where consent or building control is involved we deal with Crawley Borough Council and tell you up front what is required. You can see the full driveways service detail or everything we cover in Crawley.

### Materials and options we install

- Block paving in clay or concrete, laid to a running or herringbone bond
- Resin bound gravel over a permeable base
- Tarmac and macadam for larger or longer drives
- Natural stone setts and cobble borders for period frontages

Why it lasts

## How we build driveways to last in Crawley

### Proper load bearing
Sub-base depth set to the actual ground, so the surface does not rut or dish under repeated vehicle weight.

### Water goes where it should
Falls, channel drainage and permeable options that keep surface water off your walls and out of the neighbours' boundary.

### Edges that hold
Haunched edge restraints stop the spreading and loose blocks that ruin most failed driveways within a few winters.

### Kerb appeal that lasts
Clean cut-ins around manholes, gullies and curves — the detail that separates a professional drive from a rushed one.

Customer feedback

"Rhys turned an uneven, patchy garden into a patio and lawn space we actually use every week. The levels, drainage and finish were all thought through properly."
