Our Process

Building a driveway that performs as beautifully as it looks takes careful planning and professional execution. We follow a proven, structured approach to guarantee strength, stability, and durability.

Here’s how we work:

Consultation & site survey – We assess your property, measure, and provide expert guidance on materials, drainage, and access.
Excavation & preparation – Existing surfaces are removed and the ground is excavated to the correct depth. We then install a compacted Type 1 sub-base for stability.
Drainage & levels – Surface water is managed with channels or permeable bases to ensure compliance with SUDS regulations.
Edging & borders – We install concrete or block edging to define the driveway and prevent lateral movement.
Laying surface – Blocks, natural stone, or gravel are laid with precision, ensuring consistent levels and pattern alignment.
Compaction & finishing – The surface is compacted, jointed, and sealed (if required) for strength and colour protection.
Aftercare guidance – You’ll receive advice on maintenance, cleaning, and resealing to keep your driveway looking its best.

Transformed our property. We had a large gravel driveway that was constantly messy. TLT Landscapes dug it all out and installed a new block-paved surface with borders and lighting. It looks amazing and has added real value to the house.

DRIVEWAY FAQ’s

What’s the best material for a driveway?

Block paving is a versatile and popular choice for its durability and design flexibility. Natural stone provides a premium look, while gravel is affordable and permeable. We’ll recommend materials based on your budget, property style, and maintenance preferences.

How long does a driveway installation take?

Most driveways take between five and ten days depending on size and material. Complex layouts or large areas can take longer, but we’ll provide clear timelines before work begins.

Do you handle drainage and groundwork?

Yes. We install full sub-bases, soakaways, and drainage channels as part of every project. All installations comply with SUDS regulations to prevent flooding and pooling.

Can you replace or extend an existing driveway?

Absolutely. We can remove old surfaces, improve the base, and extend or redesign the area using materials that blend seamlessly with your existing layout.

How long will my new driveway last?

A properly installed driveway should last 20–30 years or more with minimal upkeep. We use high-grade materials and proven installation methods to ensure lasting performance.

Do you offer driveway maintenance or cleaning?

Yes — we provide jet-washing, re-sanding, and resealing to keep your driveway looking fresh and protected from weeds, moss, and staining.

Do you cover areas outside St Albans?

Yes. While most of our work is in St Albans and nearby villages, we also undertake driveway projects across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and North London.
