Block paving is cost-effective, low-maintenance and endlessly customisable. You choose the colour, texture and laying pattern, and if a block is ever damaged it can be lifted and replaced on its own without disturbing the rest of the drive.
Premium blocks in a herringbone or random pattern, finished with a double border, give Alderley Edge homes a high-end courtyard feel that will stand up to years of use.
Resin bound surfaces mix small natural stones with a clear resin, trowelled to a smooth, even finish. The result is permeable, so water drains through, and it comes in a wide range of colours. In the right conditions it can even be laid over a sound existing driveway.
Resin bound is ideal on the sloping drives near the Edge, giving a smooth, bound surface with good grip and natural drainage in a choice of warm aggregates.


Tarmac and asphalt driveways are quick to install and very durable. We lay them on a compacted stone base and finish the edges with paving or kerbs, which restrains the surface and gives the drive a sharper look.
Long approach drives and private roads around Nether Alderley and Mottram St Andrew are often best in tarmac, with a block or stone edge to finish them properly.



Dips where the car parks mean the base underneath has failed.
Water should run away from the house, not towards it.
Lost jointing sand lets blocks move and weeds take hold.
Once the surface breaks up, patching rarely lasts.

Alderley Edge has a conservation area in the village and many large, sloping plots. That means careful falls, channel drains at gates and materials that sit comfortably with sandstone and Victorian brick. We often work around electric gates, CCTV and lighting, so we plan the ducting before the surface goes down.
We also lay driveways in these nearby areas, with the same team and the same guarantees.

Premium block paving and resin bound are the leading choices for Alderley Edge homes, both offering a high-end finish. On steep or very long drives, tarmac with a stone or block edge gives the best grip and value.
Usually not, as long as the surface is permeable or rainwater runs off onto a lawn or border within your property. In England, a new impermeable front driveway over 5 square metres that drains onto the road needs planning permission. Resin bound and permeable block paving avoid this. Listed buildings and some conservation streets have extra rules, and we flag these at your survey.
Yes. A dropped kerb (vehicle crossing) in Alderley Edge is approved by Cheshire East Council, and you need their consent before driving over the pavement. We explain what the council asks for at your survey, and we can lay the new driveway so it lines up with the approved crossing.
Resin bound driveways are permeable: the stones are mixed with resin and trowelled smooth, leaving tiny gaps for water to pass through, provided the base underneath is permeable too. Resin bonded (scatter coat) surfaces are not permeable. We only lay resin bound driveways for homes, on a base designed to drain.
No. Every driveway is laid by our own qualified and fully insured team. We never use sub-contractors, so the people who survey your drive are the people who build it, and the standard is the same on every job.
Sometimes. Resin bound and tarmac can go over existing tarmac or concrete that is sound, level and drains well, after repairs and priming. Block paving, and any drive that is sinking, cracked through or holding water, needs digging out and a new base. We check which applies at your free survey.
We call you back to arrange a free survey at a time that suits you. We measure up, check levels and drainage, show you samples and then send a fixed written quote with no obligation. If you go ahead, we agree a start date and our own team carries out the work from excavation to the final clean.
