Leicester's Trusted Experts in Driveways, Patios & Landscaping

Durable driveways make first impressions

Your driveway is more than just a place to park; it is the vital first impression visitors receive. We build driveways that are not only visually appealing but are also exceptionally durable and expertly installed, providing peace of mind for years to come. Tired of cracks, potholes, or an uneven surface? Our comprehensive service begins with meticulous ground preparation, ensuring a solid sub-base to prevent sinking or shifting. Explore our range of new driveway installations:

  • Block Paving Driveways: A timeless, versatile choice. Create endless design possibilities with various colours, styles, and intricate laying patterns like herringbone or stretcher bond. Plus, individual blocks are easy to repair should accidental damage occur.
  • Gravel Driveways: A cost-effective, attractive option providing excellent drainage. We offer a wide array of decorative aggregates, ensuring a properly prepared sub-base with a stabilising membrane to deter weed growth.
  • Resin-Look Gravel Options: Achieve the sophisticated aesthetic of a resin-bound driveway with our high-quality gravel installations, offering a smart, contemporary finish.

Worried about planning permission? For new front garden driveways exceeding five square metres, regulations often require permeable surfaces or on-site drainage solutions (SUDS compliant). We are experts in installing permeable block paving, often bypassing the need for planning permission. If your project involves a new or widened dropped kerb, we guide you through the Leicester City Council permit process.

Need more space or a refresh? We expertly handle driveway repairs, re-levelling sunken blocks, seamless extensions to existing areas, and decorative edging with kerbs or stone setts to protect integrity.

Extend living space with elegant patios

Imagine an outdoor sanctuary, perfect for al fresco dining, entertaining friends, or simply unwinding after a long day. A bespoke patio installation from Prime Driveways and Landscapes effortlessly extends your indoor living space outwards, creating a focal point for your garden. We utilise only the highest quality materials to design and install stunning paved areas, ensuring both beauty and longevity.

  • Indian Sandstone Patios: Embrace natural beauty with unique character and captivating colour variations. This durable, premium stone offers a rustic yet elegant feel, blending seamlessly with both traditional and contemporary garden designs.
  • Porcelain Patios: For a sleek, ultra-modern aesthetic, porcelain paving is unrivalled. It is exceptionally hard-wearing, non-porous (making it highly resistant to stains, black spot, and algae), and wonderfully low-maintenance – no more scrubbing!
  • Concrete Slab Patios: A versatile, budget-friendly option available in a vast selection of colours, textures, and sizes, including attractive decorative and riven-effect finishes.

Our meticulous patio installation process includes thorough ground preparation, a robust sub-base, and expert pointing, guaranteeing a flawless, long-lasting finish. We also offer patio repairs, carefully lifting and relaying uneven or broken slabs to restore safety and aesthetic appeal. Discover how a new patio can transform your leisure time; contact us for a design consultation.

Enhance your property's privacy, security, and aesthetic with our high-quality fencing and decking solutions. A well-installed fence defines your boundaries beautifully, while decking offers a perfect platform for outdoor living.

  • Garden Fencing: Choose from robust featheredge or closeboard panels for maximum privacy, or opt for decorative panels to enhance your garden's visual appeal. We use durable concrete or timber posts and can install concrete gravel boards, providing essential protection against rot.
  • Fence Repairs: We efficiently replace storm-damaged panels, broken posts, or install a completely new fence line, restoring security and appearance swiftly.
  • Timber Composite Decking: Create an ideal spot for relaxing, dining, or socialising. We install traditional timber decking or modern, low-maintenance composite decking, which requires no staining, resists splinters, and will not rot.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our driveway, patio, and landscaping services in Leicester.

What's the typical cost for a new block paving driveway in Leicester?

+

The price for a new block paving driveway in Leicester can vary quite a bit. It depends on factors like the size of your driveway, the type of blocks you choose, any ground preparation needed, and whether you need new drainage or a dropped kerb. We always provide a free, no-obligation quote after a site visit, so you get a clear, upfront price tailored to your specific project. We aim to be really transparent about costs, ensuring you understand exactly what you're paying for.

Do I need planning permission for a new driveway or patio in Leicester?

+

For driveways over five square metres in your front garden, you usually need to ensure the surface is permeable (allows water to drain through) or that drainage is managed on-site, like directing water to a lawn or soakaway. Using permeable block paving often helps you meet these Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) regulations and avoids the need for planning permission. Patios generally don't require planning permission unless they significantly alter the ground level or cover a large percentage of your garden. If your project involves a new or widened dropped kerb, that always needs a permit from Leicester City Council, and we can guide you through that process. We’re experts in Leicester and Leicestershire regulations and can advise you properly.

My driveway blocks are sinking – can you fix them, or do I need a whole new driveway?

+

Absolutely, we can help with that common problem! Sunken driveway blocks don't necessarily mean you need a full replacement. We specialise in driveway repairs, often able to lift, re-level the sub-base, and relay the existing blocks. This not only makes your driveway safe and look smart again but can save you a lot of money compared to a brand new installation. We’ll assess the damage and give you an honest opinion on the best solution for your Leicester home.

Should I choose Indian Sandstone or Porcelain for my patio?

+

Both Indian Sandstone and Porcelain are fantastic choices for patios, but they offer different benefits. Indian Sandstone provides a beautiful, natural, and unique look with lovely colour variations – it's perfect if you're after that rustic, charming feel. Porcelain, on the other hand, gives a very sleek, modern finish. It's incredibly hard-wearing, non-porous (so it resists stains and algae really well), and super low-maintenance. Your choice often comes down to the aesthetic you prefer and how much time you want to spend on cleaning. We can show you samples of both and discuss what would best suit your garden design here in Leicestershire.

How can I keep my new patio looking its best?

+

Keeping your patio spick and span is pretty straightforward, especially with our quality installation. Regular sweeping to remove leaves and debris helps a lot. For a deeper clean, a pressure wash a couple of times a year can work wonders, especially for removing any built-up dirt or algae. For Indian Sandstone, a gentle cleaner designed for natural stone can be good. Porcelain is very low-maintenance and usually just needs a good wash down. We also offer professional exterior pressure washing services in Leicester to rejuvenate your patio if it needs a serious clean.

Can you help me design my garden, or do I need my own plans?

+

We’re here to help you every step of the way, whether you have a clear vision or need some inspiration! Our landscaping team is skilled in transforming outdoor spaces. We can work from your own garden design plans, or we can offer ideas and suggestions during a consultation, helping you visualise the possibilities for your garden in Leicester. We’ll consider your lifestyle, budget, and how you want to use the space to create something truly special, from structured hard landscaping to vibrant planting schemes.

Is artificial grass a good choice for my Leicester garden?

+

Artificial grass is an increasingly popular choice for many Leicester homeowners, and for good reason! It’s perfect if you want a beautiful, green lawn all year round with virtually no maintenance – no mowing, no weeding, no muddy patches. It's ideal for busy families, pet owners, and even those tricky shaded areas where real turf struggles to grow. We provide professional artificial grass installation, making sure it looks seamless and natural, giving you a hassle-free, perfect-looking lawn.

My fence needs repairing, or I need a new one – what are my options?

+

We offer a full range of fencing services across Leicestershire. If your fence has seen better days due to storms or just age, we can assess whether a repair, like replacing a broken post or panel, is enough. If you need a completely new fence, we have loads of options, from robust closeboard or featheredge panels for maximum privacy and security, to more decorative styles. We use durable materials, including concrete posts and gravel boards, to ensure your new boundary lasts for years. We'll chat through what suits your property and budget best.

Why should I choose a local Leicester company like Prime Driveways and Landscapes?

+

Choosing a local company like ours means you’re getting a team that truly understands the Leicester and Leicestershire area, from local planning nuances to specific soil conditions. We're right on your doorstep, making us reliable and responsive. Our reputation is built on local customer satisfaction, and we pride ourselves on a friendly, professional service. You’re not just a number to us; you’re a valued local client, and we're committed to delivering quality driveways, patios, and landscaping that you’ll be proud of, backed by our workmanship guarantee.

How long does a typical driveway or patio installation take?

+

The timeframe for a driveway or patio installation really depends on the size and complexity of the project. A smaller patio or driveway might take just a few days, while larger, more intricate landscaping projects could take a couple of weeks or more. During our initial site visit and consultation, once we understand your specific requirements, we’ll give you a clear estimate of the project duration. We always work efficiently and keep disruption to a minimum for our Leicester clients.
