Our skilled team at Prime Driveways and Landscapes offers comprehensive repair services for all major driveway types found in Shepshed. We diagnose the root cause of the damage to ensure our repairs are not just superficial, but lasting.

• Block Paving Repairs: Is your block paving sinking, loose, or plagued by persistent weeds? We meticulously lift and relay sunken blocks, addressing any underlying sub-base issues or poor groundworks that caused the problem. We replace broken or discoloured blocks, carefully matching existing materials, then re-sand with kiln-dried sand to stabilise the surface. Optional sealing can be applied for enhanced protection against stains and weed growth.
• Tarmac Driveway Repairs: Cracks, potholes, and a generally deteriorating surface are common for tarmac driveways. We utilise cold-lay asphalt patch materials to fill potholes and repair cracks, restoring a smooth, safe finish. For larger areas of wear, we can perform targeted resurfacing, followed by a protective seal coat to extend its life and refresh its appearance.
• Concrete Driveway Repairs: From minor cracks to significant spalling or surface erosion, concrete driveways face various challenges. Our methods include using specialist crack fillers, patching compounds for larger damaged areas, and cement-based repair mortar for structural integrity. For severe sinking or unevenness, we can explore concrete lifting (slab jacking) to re-level the surface without demolition.
• Resin-Bound Driveway Repairs: Loose stones or minor cracks on resin-bound surfaces can be expertly rectified using specialist resin repair kits. We carefully match aggregates and resin, re-coating the affected areas to seamlessly blend with your existing driveway and prevent further deterioration.
• Gravel Driveway Repairs: Common issues with gravel driveways include erosion, potholes, and compaction leading to unevenness. We address these by adding fresh, decorative aggregates, re-levelling the surface, and compacting it to create a stable and attractive finish that maintains excellent drainage.

Tree roots can cause significant damage to driveways, leading to cracks and uneven surfaces as they grow and expand beneath the sub-base. In Shepshed, our team has the expertise to assess such damage. Where appropriate, we implement solutions such as installing root barriers to prevent future issues without harming the tree, ensuring a stable and long-lasting repair to your driveway.

Do you need more parking space or improved vehicle access for your home in Shepshed? A driveway extension can be a highly effective solution. We specialise in seamlessly extending existing driveways, meticulously matching materials like block paving, tarmac, or gravel to create a flawless, integrated finish. Our process includes thorough groundworks and ensures compliance with Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) regulations where permeable surfaces are required, often negating the need for planning permission. If widening access requires a new or widened dropped kerb, we can guide you through the necessary application process with your local council. This modification can significantly enhance your property’s functionality and overall value.
