Driveways: The Gateway to Your Home

A well-designed driveway not only provides a safe and convenient space for parking vehicles but also enhances the overall curb appeal of your property. At KH Building & Landscaping Services, we offer a range of driveway solutions tailored to your needs, ensuring that your driveway is both practical and visually appealing.

Types of Driveways We Offer

Block Paving: One of the most popular choices for driveways, block paving offers versatility in design and colour. With numerous patterns and finishes available, we can create a unique driveway that complements your home’s style. Block paving is durable and can withstand heavy traffic, making it an excellent choice for family homes and commercial properties alike.
Tarmac Driveways: Tarmacadam (or tarmac) is a practical and cost-effective solution for driveways. It provides a smooth, durable surface that is easy to maintain and can be quickly installed. Tarmac driveways are particularly popular for larger properties and can be enhanced with decorative edging or contrasting features.
Resin-Bound Driveways: For a contemporary look, resin-bound driveways combine gravel and resin to create a durable, attractive surface. This option is permeable, allowing water to drain through, which helps prevent puddles and flooding. Resin-bound driveways are available in various colours and finishes, allowing for customization to suit your style.
Concrete Driveways: Concrete driveways are a long-lasting option that can be designed in various ways. We offer decorative concrete options, including stamped and coloured concrete, which can mimic the look of more expensive materials while providing the strength and durability you need.

Driveway Installation Process

Our driveway installation process begins with a thorough assessment of your property and your specific requirements. We’ll discuss the best materials, design options, and finishes to create a driveway that meets your needs and preferences.

Site Preparation: This initial stage involves clearing the area and excavating the ground to ensure a solid base. We pay close attention to drainage to prevent future problems.
Base Layer Installation: A strong base layer is crucial for the longevity of your driveway. We use high-quality materials and techniques to create a stable foundation.
Surface Layer Application: Depending on your chosen material, we’ll carefully install the surface layer, ensuring precision and attention to detail.
Finishing Touches: Finally, we’ll add any finishing touches, such as edging, patterns, or decorative elements, to enhance the visual appeal of your driveway.
Maintenance Advice: After installation, we provide you with guidance on maintaining your driveway to ensure its longevity and appearance.

Patios: Creating Outdoor Living Spaces

A well-designed patio can transform your garden into an inviting outdoor living area, perfect for entertaining guests, enjoying family time, or simply relaxing in the sun. At KH Building & Landscaping Services, we create stunning patios that blend seamlessly with your landscape while providing a functional space for various activities.

Types of Patios We Offer

Paved Patios: Using high-quality paving stones, we can create beautiful, durable patios that offer various designs and patterns. Paved patios are available in natural stone, concrete, and clay bricks, allowing you to choose a material that best fits your aesthetic.
Decking Patios: Wooden or composite decking can provide a warm, inviting look to your outdoor space. Decking is particularly suited for sloped gardens and can be designed with built-in seating or planters for added functionality.
Natural Stone Patios: For a luxurious feel, natural stone patios, such as slate, sandstone, or limestone, provide a timeless appeal. Each stone has its unique colours and textures, creating a beautiful, bespoke patio that enhances your garden’s natural beauty.
Composite Patios: Made from recycled materials, composite patios offer the look of wood without the maintenance requirements. They are resistant to fading, scratching, and mould, making them a practical choice for busy families.

Patio Installation Process

Our patio installation process is designed to create a stunning outdoor space that meets your needs and preferences. We take great care to ensure that every detail is handled with precision and expertise.

Design Consultation: We start with a consultation to discuss your ideas, preferences, and the intended use of the patio. Our team will help you choose the best materials, layout, and design to fit your lifestyle.
Site Preparation: Proper site preparation is essential for a successful patio installation. We’ll clear the area, excavate if necessary, and ensure proper drainage to prevent water pooling.
Base Installation: A solid base is crucial for the longevity of your patio. We carefully install a stable base layer to provide the necessary support for the surface material.
Surface Layer Installation: Depending on your chosen material, we’ll install the patio surface with precision, ensuring that it is level and properly aligned.
Finishing Touches: We can add features such as retaining walls, steps, or integrated seating to enhance your patio. We’ll also ensure proper jointing and finishing for a polished look.
