The first step when installing a driveway is to plan and prepare the area where it will be located. This includes levelling the ground, marking off boundaries, clearing away debris and vegetation, and making sure there is adequate drainage for water runoff. Additionally, it is important to check local regulations and obtain any necessary permits before you begin work. Once these preparations are complete, you can begin laying down the foundation materials such as gravel or crushed stone.

A new driveway may not need planning permission if proper drainage is in place, and the water can flow away to a permeable surface for drainage. However, we would recommend for you to contact your local council planning office to obtain clear information regarding planning permission and its confirmation.

Regular maintenance is essential in order to keep your driveway looking good and functioning correctly. This does depend on the material you have chosen, but in general you should clear debris from the area regularly and it is a good idea to reseal your driveway every few years in order to protect it from damage due to weathering or wear and tear. Finally, you should ensure that your driveway is properly graded so that water drainage can occur efficiently.
