Driveways in Northampton

Driveways for Northampton homes

We lay driveways all over Northampton, from older semis with long front gardens to newer homes at Upton, Wootton and Overstone Leys. Our base in Higham Ferrers is about 25 minutes away along the A45.

Much of Northampton sits on heavy clay, which is hard on driveways that aren’t built properly. Every drive we lay is dug to firm ground and built on 200mm of compacted sub-base, with drainage planned from the start.

Areas we cover: Northampton, Duston, Kingsthorpe, Abington, Weston Favell, Moulton, Wootton, Upton and Overstone

Local knowledge

Driveways in Northampton: what to know

Northampton has its own council and its own ground. Here’s what we check.

West Northamptonshire Council

Dropped kerbs and any planning questions go to West Northamptonshire Council, not North Northants like the rest of our area. We’ll explain the process for your road.

Heavy clay

Clay holds water and moves with the seasons. A deep, well-compacted sub-base and good drainage are what keep a Northampton drive level.

Front gardens into parking

Many older semis and terraces have no drive. Paving over 5 square metres of front garden needs a permeable surface or drainage onto your own land.

Newer estates

At Upton, Wootton and Overstone Leys, drives often need widening for a second car. Check your deeds for front garden rules first.

About 25 minutes along the A45 from our base in Higham Ferrers.

West Northamptonshire Council. We don’t install dropped kerbs, but we’ll explain the process and design your drive around it.

Not if it’s built properly. A deep, compacted sub-base and good drainage keep the drive level on clay.

Yes. You’ll usually need a dropped kerb, plus a permeable surface or drainage onto your own land to avoid needing planning permission.
