Driveways in West Kirby

West Kirby and Caldy are full of detached homes with generous frontages, and the driveway is a big part of how the house looks from the road. People here often ask for a mix of materials, such as a block paved border with a resin centre, or a drive and patio in matching stone.

Being right on the coast, rain often comes in sideways off the Dee, so we build every drive on a solid base with proper falls. We lay block paving, resin bound, tarmac and imprinted concrete, and build patios, lawns, walls and fencing.

Most new driveways don’t need planning permission, provided the surface is permeable or the water drains onto a lawn or border. Resin bound and permeable block paving are both good choices if you want to pave right up to the boundary.

If you need a new or wider dropped kerb, apply to Wirral Council before any work starts. We’ll explain how it fits in with your driveway.
