Wednesfield is mostly family homes: semis and terraces around Ashmore Park and Wood End, with more towards Fallings Park and Bushbury. For most of them, the job is getting the car off the road and making the front look tidy without losing all of the garden.
We are based in Wolverhampton, about three miles away. Every job starts with a free site visit to measure up and talk through the options, and the price comes in writing.

Plenty of front gardens here are short and square, with a low wall and a path to the door. Turning that into a drive means taking the wall out, opening up the front and planning how the car gets on and off. If the kerb is not already dropped, City of Wolverhampton Council needs to approve that, so we measure up with it in mind.
Where there is room, two cars side by side with a narrow planted strip along the boundary keeps a bit of green at the front, gives the rain somewhere to go and stops the house looking like a car park.
Out the back, gardens tend to be a good size and fairly flat. A patio across the back of the house, new turf and new fencing is a common combination, and doing it as one job means one lot of disruption rather than three.
Everything is laid by our own team, with a free site visit and a fixed written price.
The most popular way to turn a short front garden into parking, with a contrasting border along the pavement.
Block Paving Driveways detailsA tidy, permeable finish for smaller fronts, with recessed covers so manholes blend in.
Resin Driveways detailsHard wearing and good value, with a straight block edge where the drive meets the pavement.
Tarmac Driveways detailsPorcelain that stays clean in busy family gardens, or sandstone for a warmer look, laid on a full mortar bed.
Patios detailsNew fencing on concrete posts, fresh turf and raised beds to finish the back garden.
Landscaping detailsIf your kerb is not already dropped, you need permission from City of Wolverhampton Council before you can drive across the pavement in Wednesfield. 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.
Many streets here have cars parked on both sides, so we book deliveries and the skip for the quietest times we can and keep the footpath clear while we work.
