A traditional styled driveway built with cobble stones in Nuneaton will make any home stand out. With options between manufactured cobble stones like Marshalls Tegula paving and Tobermore Cobbles or natural stone setts made with granite and stone. We can cater the cobblestone driveway to suit your home with options on laying patterns, using various sizes and bespoke bordering.

If you opt for natural stone cobbles, it is the more expensive option but the durability and the colour resistance on them makes the finish far superior than Tegula paving. However, the colour is limited with natural stone with choices on grey, dark grey and gold variants. Tegula paving is available in a variety of colours and laying patterns for the driveway. We can discuss these options with you including providing samples during our FREE quote.

Are you fed up of your old lawn area in Nuneaton and would like to replace it? Give Summit Driveways a call to schedule a free visit from our landscaping specialists. We can put in new patios, new lawns, artificial grass for low maintenance or re-seed your old lawn area. If we are re-seeding your lawn, we would remove the old lawn from the top and put in a new soil. This would be rotavated and the seeds put through on the top of it.

For roll on turf, we would put in new soil which is graded through to ensure no stones and top it off with a sand base. The roll on turf is laid on top of it to ensure once its bonded, it will be soft, even and very comfortable to walk on. Artificial grass options we provide includes a very wide variety of choices which can vary between short to long, coarse to bordering on a velvet feel. We can go through all of these options and more during our FREE quote.

Does your driveway or patio suffer from flooding? We can solve that problem for you by installing a permeable driveway or patio in Nuneaton. Our skilled permeable installers can put down either permeable paving or a permeable gravel solution for your driveway and patio. Standard driveway drainage is not sufficient to handle heavy surface water flooding on your driveway.

With a permeable solution, the main consideration is the base foundation. It has to be prepared significantly different than normal. We will dig down at least 15 inches to ensure we can insert a new Type 4 MOT which will allow the water to drain right down through the surface.

When a permeable paved driveway is installed, the finished surface is done using permeable paving which is identical to normal paving with the only exception the ridges on the side which are more pronounced to allow a grit jointing instead of the standard kiln dried sand. This allows water to drain down fast and efficiently. We can talk about your permeable driveway options during our FREE quote!

If your driveway or patio has problems with surface water or it is not possible to direct the surface water to suitable land drainage zones, we can put in a new drainage system. Adequate drainage is fundamental to the longevity of any driveway or patio area. You do not want water pooling on any area which is not permeable.

We generally build new drainage systems using ACO drains which is a long, rectangular shape and can connect to each other. This is covered by a detachable metal or plastic grid which can be lifted off to allow you to clean any debris in it easily. This will be piped into either an existing drainage system or we will build a new drainage zone with a soak pit.

For small patio areas that require a simple boost to help water drain away, we can add in new square gulley instead. All of these drainage options are presented during our FREE quote in Nuneaton. Make sure to check our permeable options in Nuneaton for other solutions to driveways and patios that have flooding problems.
