Concrete & Gravel Driveways | The Installation Process
In our position as vastly-experienced driveway contractors, we have installed countless concrete and gravel driveways since our inception as a company in 1992. Starting with the necessary groundworks, we work through a time-served process that we know produces outstanding, long-lasting results.
When it comes to concrete driveways in Chichester, Horsham and the neighbouring areas, we adhere to the following process:
- Excavation – Starting with reliable groundworks, our driveway contractors dig to a depth of 200mm before laying and compacting 100mm of type 1 sub-base.
- Drainage – In accordance with the relevant fall, we install drainage and shuttering to ensure that standing water doesn’t become an issue.
- Concrete Laying – The wet concrete is laid and levelled to a depth of 100mm. Once screeded, the surface is hand-trowelled to produce a smooth, professional finish.
- Expansion Joints – When the driveway has dried, we clean it with a pressure washer before manually cutting in expansion joints to prevent cracking.
- Sealing – After leaving the driveway to dry completely, we apply an acrylic sealant for optimal protection.
Our team of driveway contractors installs gravel driveways in Chichester, Horsham and across the South East using the following procedure:
- Excavation – After clearing the site, we undertake groundworks that include excavation to an approximate depth of 230mm.
- Sub-Base – We then install 150mm of MOT type 3 sub-base. Type 3 sub-base has permeable qualities that help prevent flooding while maintaining full compliance with the 2008 SUDS Regulations. Edging options such as granite setts or brickwork are also laid at this point to help prevent gravel migration.
- Course Installation – Our team then lays a weed membrane before applying 20mm of sharp sand. This is levelled and compacted through the use of a vibrating plate compactor.
- Cellular Grid – As experienced driveway contractors, we recognise the importance of this feature. A 40mm grid can withstand a maximum of 120 tonnes of material per square metre, so it provides the perfect stabilisation for gravel driveways.
- Laying Gravel – For the finishing touch, we spread the chosen gravel to a depth of approximately 20mm.
We ensure that every step of our concrete and gravel driveways meet our own demanding quality and safety standards. Whether it’s the groundworks or the final clean-up, we apply nothing less than complete professionalism throughout.
For the ultimate peace of mind, we work in Chichester, Horsham, Haslemere, Dorking, Guildford and across Sussex and Surrey with public liability and employer’s liability insurance coverage.
