Driveways Ashurst – Professionally Designed and Built to Last

A well-designed driveway does far more than provide somewhere to park. It creates the first impression of your home, makes daily access easier and can improve the overall appearance and practicality of your property. For professionally installed Driveways Ashurst, homeowners and businesses can rely on R. Exall & Sons Ltd for dependable workmanship, careful preparation and a finish designed to stand the test of time.

We are a long-established family business with more than 70 years of experience in landscaping, surfacing and construction-related work. Our team handles projects of many different sizes, from private driveways and garden paths to larger access roads, forecourts and commercial surfaces. Every project is approached with the same attention to detail, clear communication and respect for the customer’s property.

A Driveway Designed Around Your Property

No two homes, sites or customers are exactly alike. The best surface for one property may not be the right choice for another, which is why we take time to understand how your driveway will be used, the style you prefer and the level of maintenance you are comfortable with.

Our complete driveway installation services can include excavation, preparation of the base, edging, drainage and installation of the chosen surface. By managing the work properly from the ground upwards, we create an attractive driveway that is also strong enough for regular vehicle use.

Our broader hard landscaping expertise means we can also consider how the driveway connects with paths, steps, walls, gates, patios and planting areas. This helps the finished project look like a natural part of the property rather than a surface added without thought.

A Choice of Attractive Driveway Surfaces

The right finish depends on the appearance of your property, the way the area will be used and your available budget. We can explain the choices in straightforward language and help you select a practical option.

For a smooth and hard-wearing finish, asphalt surfacing is a popular choice. Often called tarmac in everyday conversation, it can work well for domestic driveways, private roads, access routes and larger parking areas.

Customers seeking a modern, neat and lower-maintenance appearance may prefer resin-bound driveways. The small stones are held together within the resin, creating a smooth decorative surface without the movement normally associated with loose gravel.

For homes with a more traditional or rural character, Breedon Golden Amber Gravel provides a warm, natural-looking finish. When correctly prepared and compacted, this self-binding material forms a firmer surface than ordinary loose shingle.

We also provide tar and shingle surfacing, which combines a textured traditional appearance with useful grip and weather resistance. Block paving and natural stone can also be used to introduce patterns, borders or a finish that complements the brickwork and character of the property.

The Importance of Proper Ground Preparation

A driveway may look impressive on the surface, but its long-term performance depends heavily on what lies underneath. Poor preparation can lead to dips, movement, cracks, loose edges and standing water.

Our experienced groundworks team removes unsuitable material, prepares the area to the correct depth and installs a stable, well-compacted base. We also pay close attention to levels so that water is guided away from buildings and does not collect in inconvenient areas.

Where additional water management is needed, our practical drainage solutions can be included within the project. This may involve suitable channels, underground pipework or other measures appropriate to the site. Taking care of drainage at the installation stage can help protect both the driveway and the surrounding property.
