Driveways & drop kerbs in Yeovil

A driveway is the first thing anyone sees. We dig out, build a proper compacted sub-base, sort the drainage and finish in the surface you choose, and we handle the dropped kerb so you can actually drive onto it.

Driveways & Drop Kerbs: common questions

Do I need planning permission for a new driveway?

Usually not. If the surface is permeable, or rainwater drains to a lawn or soakaway within your boundary, a driveway of any size is permitted development. A non-permeable surface over 5 square metres draining to the road needs permission. We'll tell you which applies when we quote.

How do I get a dropped kerb in Yeovil?

Dropped kerbs on public roads need approval from Somerset Council as the highway authority. You apply, the council checks the location is safe, and the works must be done to their specification. We guide you through the application and do the kerb and driveway together.

How long does a driveway take?

Most take three to seven days depending on size, surface and how much excavation and drainage is needed. Concrete needs curing time before you park on it.

What guarantee do you offer?

Block paving comes with a 10-year guarantee. All our work is guaranteed on workmanship and materials, and we are fully insured.
