Driveways in Greasby
Postwar estates where almost every house already has a drive, so the work is replacing a tired one rather than creating parking.
- Dig depth and sub base stated in writing
- Edge restraint haunched, not just laid
- Drainage designed, not left to the border
Block paving driveways
Estate housing with off street parking almost everywhere, most of it laid once and now twenty or thirty years old. Sunken areas by the gate, spreading at the unrestrained edges and weeds through the joints are the usual reasons people ring, and all three are symptoms of the same thing: the edges and the sub base rather than the blocks.
Driveway repairs
A sunken patch or a failed edge is often repairable without relaying the whole drive, and where that is true it is a fraction of the cost. Whether it is true depends on whether the blocks can be lifted and reused and whether the sub base under the sunken area has washed out.
Driveway drainage
Estate plots frequently fall towards the garage or the house, and a lot of these original drives have no drainage at all beyond running the water at a border.
Patios and paths
Back gardens of a standard size and shape, where the job is usually a level patio off the back door and a path to the shed.

Questions from Greasby
Can my sunken driveway be repaired rather than replaced?
Often yes, and it is a fraction of the price. It depends on whether the blocks lift cleanly and whether the sub base under the sunken area has washed out or just settled. We will lift a small area and look rather than quote a full relay on sight.
Why are weeds growing through my block paving?
Because the joint sand has gone and seeds have landed in the gap. It is ordinary weathering rather than a fault in the drive. Clearing and re-sanding is maintenance work and it is exterior cleaning rather than ours, so we would point you at wirralexteriorcleaning.com.

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.

Rough size, what is on it now and which way it falls is enough for a first answer about what is possible.
