At Prime Driveways, we offer a range of popular and durable options tailored for Leicester homes. Our most requested surfaces include classic block paving, versatile gravel driveways, and modern resin-look gravel. Each choice brings different benefits in terms of look, cost, and maintenance, and we can help you pick the best fit for your property.

The cost of a new driveway varies quite a bit depending on its size, the materials you choose (like block paving vs. gravel), any ground preparation needed, and special features like drainage. We understand you want a clear idea, which is why we offer a free, no-obligation quote after visiting your Leicester property. This way, you get an accurate price without any surprises.

You often don't need planning permission for a new driveway, especially if it's less than five square metres or if the surface allows water to drain away naturally (is permeable). However, if your driveway is over five square metres and doesn't drain water onto your property, you might need permission under SUDS regulations. Don’t worry, Prime Driveways are experts in permeable driveways and can guide you through these rules for your Leicester driveway project.

A dropped kerb makes it easier for vehicles to access your driveway from the road, lowering the pavement to road level. If you're building a new driveway, widening an existing one, or creating a new access point in Leicester, you'll need a dropped kerb. This requires a permit from Leicester City Council. We can help advise on the application process and make sure your driveway installation complies.

Absolutely! We regularly carry out driveway repairs across Leicestershire. Whether you have sunken block paving, cracks in your tarmac, or general wear and tear, our team can assess the damage and provide professional, long-lasting repairs. We can lift and re-level blocks, patch surfaces, and address underlying drainage issues to restore your driveway's appearance and function.

Block paving is a fantastic choice for Leicester driveways because it’s incredibly versatile, offering endless design patterns and colour combinations to match any home style. It's also very durable, hard-wearing, and if a block gets damaged, it's easy to replace just that single piece without needing to redo the whole driveway. It also performs well as a permeable driveway option.

While we specialise in "resin-look gravel" options which give a similar smart, contemporary finish, true resin-bound driveways are also a popular choice for their smooth, permeable, and stylish look. Our resin-look options provide a beautiful aesthetic with excellent durability and drainage. If you're considering a resin driveway for your Leicester home, chat with us about how our resin-look gravel can offer a similar high-quality finish.

The time it takes to install a new driveway varies greatly depending on the size of the area, the type of material chosen, and the complexity of the ground preparation. A smaller gravel driveway might take a few days, while a larger, intricate block paving project could take a week or more.
