Driveways in Caldy
Long private drives on wooded sandstone plots, where access and levels decide the job.
- Dig depth and sub base stated in writing
- Edge restraint haunched, not just laid
- Drainage designed, not left to the border
Groundworks and preparation
Large plots on sandstone, often with rock close to the surface and mature trees with root plates in the way. A trial hole before pricing is worth the hour, because hitting rock turns a machine dig into a breaker job and that is a real cost rather than a surprise.
Resin driveways
Long private drives where the per square metre cost of the surface genuinely matters, and where a jointless surface under a tree canopy means nothing to weed and nothing to wash out.
Driveway drainage
Wooded plots shed a lot of leaf litter, which blocks channels and fills soakaways. Drainage here has to be designed to be cleanable, not just to work on the day it is installed.
Patios and paths
Paths and steps between mature planting, usually in a stone that has to sit with the sandstone already on the plot.

Questions from Caldy
Can you get machinery down a long private drive?
Usually, and it is worth settling at the quote: what can physically get in, where a grab lorry can stand, and whether the existing drive has to carry plant to reach the work. On a long approach that is a real part of the day.
Will tree roots wreck a new driveway?
They can, which is why the build up matters. A no dig construction over a root plate with a permeable surface lets the roots breathe and spreads the load, and it costs more than digging through them would. Digging through a protected root system is not an option.
Other areas covered
Twelve towns across the peninsula. What decides a driveway here is the plot rather than the postcode: how it falls, what is under it, how wide the frontage is and where the water is going to go.
