We lay driveways right across Kettering and its villages, from older homes on the town’s hillier streets to newer properties at Hanwood Park. Many Kettering drives slope towards the road or the house, so we plan levels and drainage carefully on every job.
Every drive is dug out to firm ground, which in Kettering often means digging through stony ironstone, then built up on 200mm of compacted MOT Type 1 with kerbs set in concrete.
Areas we cover: Kettering, Hanwood Park, Barton Seagrave, Burton Latimer, Rothwell, Desborough and Broughton
Drives that slope towards the house need channel drains at the bottom to stop water reaching your front door. Steeper drives may also need steps or retaining edges, which we price clearly.
Kettering sits on ironstone, so digging out can mean breaking through stone. We still dig to full depth: a shallow base is what causes sinking later.
Newer homes often need drives widening or extending for a second car. Check your deeds first, as estate rules can control front gardens.
Kettering is covered by North Northamptonshire Council, which handles dropped kerbs. We’ll plan your drive around the crossing.

Around 20 minutes up the A6 from our base in Higham Ferrers.
We lay it to the right falls and add a channel drain across the bottom, so water is collected before it reaches your door.
It can take longer to dig out, which we’ll include in your fixed quote. We never shorten the dig, as a shallow base is what causes sinking.
Usually, yes. Check your deeds first for any front garden restrictions, and we’ll plan the rest.
