Unique Driveways
the way you want them

Resin trowelled by Darren

One thing that we understand at Peterborough Improvements is that every driveway should be exactly what the client is wanting and not simply what is easiest for the driveway company. In our opinion there is nothing worse than seeing row of houses all with the exactly the same driveways. Why not choose an installer who will show at least a little imagination.

The amount of different paving options for driveways available today are endless, so our experienced driveway contractors can transform your once drab and tired driveway into something you will be proud of whilst greatly improving the overall look of your home. We have paved area’s from small pathways and patios through to huge commercial area’s, so whether you have a small garden project or a large driveway you need working on, we can help.

After an initial free consultation our project manager will work closely with you in order to make sure that the work is 100% to your satisfaction and delivered on time. All our work is fully guaranteed and no project is too big or too small. We have a huge selection of paviour, block paving and Resin bound aggregates we can show you at our Peterborough Showroom and we will happily advise on the best materials to use for your particular project and budget

Survey and Design

We will start off by carrying out a site visit where we can introduce ourselves, understand exactly what work it is you require and give you any advice we can in relation to your resin driveway / Tarmac or block paving project. We will take all the measurements we require and images of the install area so we can provide you with a computer generated design mock as part of your free no obligation professional quotation. This will be emailed to you usually within a few days.

Installation

Once agreement has been reached we will arrange a date and time for us to start the install. In most cases we will start with digging out the existing drive and levelling (With a Resin Bound installation this might not be required as we can usually overlay onto concrete or tarmac drives).  This will usually involve the use of a mini digger and is normally completed within one day with all the debris taken away and environmentally disposed of. (We tend not to use skips but our own tipper vehicles).

Levels will then be set and a geotextile membrane installed on top of the subsoil to the total area of your driveway. This helps prevent the mixing of the sub soil or clay with the hardcore that will be installed but will still allow water to flow freely.

At this stage MOT type-1 hardcore is laid to the total area of your new driveway on top of the geotextile membrane to a minimum depth of 150mm. This is then compacted down numerous times in different directions to give a good solid base.

Edging restraints (usually blocks) are then installed to contain the block paving or resin installation.

At this stage if the driveway is to be finished as a tarmac drive a 6mm finishing course will be installed and compacted. With a Resin Bound a bitumen or concrete base will be installed on top of the hardcore leaving between 18-20mm for the final resin install which is then hand trowelled once the concrete has cured or the bitumen oxidized.

With block paving drainage will need installing and once complete the driveway area will be covered with course grit sand, compacted and screeded.

Blocks are then laid and the area is brushed with Kiln dried sand until all joints are full to the top. The area is then compacted once again and any surplus kiln dried sand is now removed.
