A great driveway starts underneath the surface: proper sub-base preparation, drainage and edge restraints before the finish goes down.

Around Shepton Mallet, the driveway brief can involve a slope, an older stone boundary or a longer village approach. At a sloping entrance, check how the car meets the road and garage so a change of level does not leave a vehicle grounding. Water running from an uphill section needs a planned interception point and a suitable outlet; paving over the low spot will not solve it.
Use the house and boundary materials to guide colour and border choices. A sample is more useful than choosing from a small screen image. If deliveries, vans or a trailer will use the drive, say so before the base and edging are specified. Block paving allows individual areas to be lifted, while tarmac may suit a longer, simpler approach where a patterned finish is less important.
Where a patio meets an older cottage or a garden with several levels, agree the relationship to doors, steps and paths first. Include access for removing old slabs and bringing in base materials in the quotation. Keep service covers accessible and decide how a future path or garden building will meet the new surface.
