If you’re planning to install or upgrade driveways in Plymouth, choosing the right contractor makes all the difference. A well designed and professionally installed driveway not only enhances the look of your property but also improves functionality, increases value and provides long term durability. At Landart Drives & Patios Ltd, we specialise in creating bespoke driveways across Plymouth and the surrounding areas, using premium materials and expert techniques to deliver results that stand out and stand the test of time.
Why Investing in Quality Driveways in Plymouth Matters
Your driveway is one of the first things people notice when they approach your home. A tired or uneven surface can affect kerb appeal, cause drainage issues and even damage vehicles over time. By contrast, a professionally installed driveway provides a smooth, stable and visually appealing entrance to your property. In Plymouth, where the coastal weather can be unpredictable, investing in a well-constructed driveway is a practical and aesthetic decision.
Landart Drives & Patios Ltd offers tailored driveway solutions that suit your property’s style, usage needs and budget. Whether you prefer a contemporary resin surface, traditional block paving or a practical tarmac finish, we deliver driveways that complement your home perfectly.
Types of Driveways Available in Plymouth
Block Paved Driveways
Block paving remains one of the most popular choices for homeowners in Plymouth. Its classic look, combined with a variety of colours, patterns and textures, makes it ideal for driveways that blend seamlessly with the character of the property. We install block paving using a solid sub base, careful laying patterns and professional jointing to create a durable and elegant finish.
Block paved driveways are also easy to maintain. Should a section become damaged, individual blocks can be lifted and replaced without disturbing the entire surface, making long term upkeep simple and cost effective.
Resin Bound and Resin Bond Driveways
For homeowners who want a modern, seamless aesthetic, resin driveways are an excellent choice. Resin bound systems involve mixing natural aggregate with resin to form a smooth, permeable surface. This allows water to drain efficiently, helping to prevent puddles and surface water build up. Resin driveways are resistant to cracking and weed growth and require very little maintenance.
Resin bond surfaces offer a slightly different finish, with loose aggregate sprinkled over a layer of resin. This creates a textured look that remains durable while giving a distinct visual style. Both resin options are ideal for Plymouth’s weather conditions and suit modern and traditional homes alike.
Tarmac Driveways
Tarmac is a practical, cost-effective option for driveways in Plymouth. Known for its strength and flexibility, tarmac can withstand heavy usage and fluctuating weather without cracking. It provides a smooth, uniform finish that works well for both residential and commercial properties. We install tarmac driveways with a robust sub-base, precise edging and careful compaction to achieve long lasting results. Decorative edging can also be added for extra style and definition.
Our Driveway Installation Process in Plymouth
At Landart Drives & Patios Ltd, we follow a clear, professional process to ensure your new driveway is built to last.
1. Site Survey and Consultation
We begin by visiting your property to assess the area, taking into account soil conditions, drainage, access points and any existing surfaces. During this consultation, we discuss your design preferences, budget and functional requirements, ensuring we create a plan that fits your vision.
2. Design and Material Selection
We provide a range of design options, from contemporary minimalism to traditional patterns, along with high quality material samples. Whether you want something bold and modern or classic and understated, we’ll help you choose a style that complements your property.
3. Groundwork and Sub Base Preparation
Strong foundations are the key to a long-lasting driveway. We excavate to the required depth, install a solid sub base and ensure proper falls for drainage. This groundwork prevents problems like subsidence, puddling and surface movement in the future.
4. Installation and Finishing
Our skilled installers lay the chosen material with precision. Block paving is carefully aligned and jointed; resin is smoothly spread and finished; tarmac is rolled and compacted for an even, long lasting surface. Every stage is handled meticulously to ensure both appearance and performance are first class.
5. Final Inspection and Aftercare
Once the driveway is complete, we conduct a full inspection with you to ensure everything meets your expectations. We also offer maintenance advice tailored to your chosen material, helping you keep your driveway looking its best for years to come.
Local Knowledge That Makes a Difference
Plymouth’s coastal climate brings unique challenges, from heavy rainfall to occasional frosts. Our local expertise means we design and install driveways that handle these conditions effectively. We build in efficient drainage solutions, use frost resistant materials and apply techniques that prevent movement and cracking. This ensures your new driveway remains functional and attractive whatever the weather.
