Permeable and concrete driveways in Guildford
On some Guildford plots, especially where there are steeper gradients or limited drainage options, a well-designed concrete or permeable system can be the most practical solution.
We can install:
- Standard reinforced concrete driveways with brushed or tamped finishes
- Concrete bases ready for future resin or other overlays
- Permeable driveway systems where water needs to soak away rather than run off
We’ll look at levels, the fall of the land and any existing drainage before advising which approach suits your property.
Planning for water run-off
Parts of Guildford can see water run quickly down roads and hillsides in heavy rain. A driveway that hasn’t been designed with this in mind can push water towards the house or onto the pavement.
We set falls, channels and, where required, soakaway provision so water is directed sensibly.
