Driveways are a big investment, and it helps when the people who built yours are just down the road. We lay block paving, permeable paving and gravel driveways across Rushden and Higham Ferrers, from period homes near the town centres to the newer estates on the edges of both towns.
Every drive is dug out to firm ground, built up with 200mm of compacted MOT Type 1, edged with kerbs set in concrete and laid to falls so water drains away from your house.
Areas we cover: Rushden, Higham Ferrers, Chelveston, Caldecott, Newton Bromswold, Irchester and Stanwick
Low-lying ground towards the Nene and Rushden Lakes can hold water. Permeable block paving or gravel lets rain soak away, and we add channels or soakaways where a drive meets the house.
In the Higham Ferrers and Rushden conservation areas, materials and front boundaries matter more. We’ll suggest paving that suits older homes and check any extra controls with the council.
A new or wider drive may need a dropped kerb, arranged through North Northamptonshire Council. We don’t install them, but we’ll plan your drive around the crossing.
Paving more than 5 square metres of front garden needs a permeable surface, or drainage onto your own land, to avoid needing planning permission.
Most NN10 drives we lay are block paving, with permeable paving and gravel popular where drainage or older homes come into it.

Usually not for the drive itself if it’s permeable or drains onto your land, but some properties have extra controls. We check with North Northamptonshire Council.
No, dropped kerbs are arranged through the council. We’ll explain the process and design your drive to suit.
