DRIVEWAYS, PATIOS & LANDSCAPING IN WOMBOURNE
Wombourne is a big South Staffordshire village with a lot of family homes, from the bungalows and semis around Ounsdale and Blakeley to larger detached houses out towards Orton and Trysull. Most have room at the front for a proper driveway and a decent garden at the back.
We are about four miles away in Wolverhampton. We lay block paving, resin and tarmac driveways, porcelain and sandstone patios, and do the landscaping around them. Every job starts with a free site visit and a fixed written price.

DRIVEWAYS AND PATIOS IN WOMBOURNE
Much of Wombourne is estates of semis and bungalows built in the second half of the last century, and plenty still have the original concrete drive or a strip of slabs to the door. Those drives have usually cracked and sunk where the car sits. We take them up, dig down to firm ground and build a new base, rather than laying a new surface over an old problem.
Bungalows are common here, and a level, step-free route from the car to the front door often matters more than the pattern. We set the falls so rain runs away from the house without creating a lip at the door, and we can widen the landing or add a gently sloped path where it helps.
Back gardens in Wombourne tend to be long and fairly flat, which makes them good patio gardens. A porcelain or Indian sandstone patio across the back of the house, with a path down to the lawn or a second seating area, suits this kind of garden well.
WHAT WE DO IN WOMBOURNE
Everything is laid by our own team, with a free site visit and a fixed written price.
Block Paving Driveways
Hard wearing and easy to repair, and it suits bungalows and bigger detached houses alike. A good choice where two cars need to park side by side.
Block Paving Driveways detailsResin Driveways
Smooth, permeable and free of loose stones. If the old concrete drive is sound, resin can often go straight over it.
Resin Driveways detailsTarmac Driveways
Good value on the longer drives out towards Orton and Trysull, finished with a block border so it does not look plain.
Tarmac Driveways detailsPatios
Porcelain or Indian sandstone on a full mortar bed, kept below the damp proof course and falling away from the house.
Patios detailsLandscaping
Turf, fencing, sleeper beds and paths to finish the garden around a new patio.
Landscaping detailsBEFORE WE START IN WOMBOURNE
If your kerb is not already dropped, you need permission from Staffordshire County Council before you can drive across the pavement in Wombourne. 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 South Staffordshire 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.
Some roads in Wombourne have a grass verge between the pavement and the road. If a new drive needs to cross one, that is part of the dropped kerb application, so it is worth raising early.
