DRIVEWAYS, PATIOS & LANDSCAPING IN TETTENHALL
Tettenhall has some of the most varied homes in Wolverhampton, from Victorian and Edwardian houses around the Greens to interwar semis and newer estates towards Aldersley and Pendeford. A driveway or patio here needs to suit the house, not just fill the space.
We are based in Wolverhampton, a few minutes away. Every job starts with a free site visit, where we bring samples and measure up, and you get a fixed written price before anything starts.

DRIVEWAYS AND PATIOS IN TETTENHALL
Tettenhall sits on a ridge, with Upper Green above Lower Green, and plenty of drives and gardens here slope noticeably. On a sloping drive we set the falls and the edges first, so water runs to a channel or the road rather than towards the house or garage, and the surface does not creep downhill over time.
On older houses around the Greens and in Tettenhall Wood, the details matter: a border that picks up the brick, edges that follow existing walls, and a finish that looks as if it belongs to the house. Tumbled blocks, natural stone and warm resin blends usually sit better here than bright, uniform colours.
Parts of Tettenhall are conservation areas. If your home is in one, some changes at the front of the property, and work near protected trees, may need the council's say first. We flag that on the visit, and City of Wolverhampton Council can confirm.

Landscaping detailsBEFORE WE START IN TETTENHALL
If your kerb is not already dropped, you need permission from City of Wolverhampton Council before you can drive across the pavement in Tettenhall. It is worth applying early, because approval is not instant. We measure up with the kerb in mind so the driveway lines up with it.
Paving more than five square metres of a front garden needs planning permission from City of Wolverhampton Council, unless the rainwater drains into a border, a soakaway or a permeable surface on your own property. We plan the drainage on the site visit so your driveway meets the rule.
Mature trees are common around Tettenhall Wood and Wightwick. Before we dig near one we check where the roots run and plan the edges around them, rather than cutting through roots that keep the tree stable.
