Driveways on Stratford-upon-Avon housing
Most of the driveway work we do in Stratford-upon-Avon is on the housing at Bishopton, Tiddington, Shottery and the newer developments, where the plots have a proper frontage and the original tarmac or block paving has sunk, cracked or grown weeds. That is a dig-out, a compacted sub-base, drainage that keeps the water on the plot, and a surface chosen on the day. Resin bound is the most requested finish because it is seamless and permeable; block paving suits the more traditional houses; tarmac is the economical choice for a large area.
Nearer the centre and in Old Town the frontages are smaller, the boundaries are older, and the conservation area means Stratford-on-Avon District Council can take a view on removing a wall or railings to make a hardstanding. A dropped kerb is a separate application to Warwickshire County Council as the highway authority, and on some of the older streets it will not be granted at all. We tell you which position you are in at the survey, and we handle the applications where they are possible.
What we are asked for here
- Resin bound and block paved replacements on the estates
- Front garden conversions where the highway will allow a dropped kerb
- Conservation-area frontages checked before quoting
- Sub-base and drainage design so the surface stays flat

Questions
Driveways in Stratford-upon-Avon, answered straight
Can I get a dropped kerb near Stratford town centre?
Not always. Warwickshire County Council, as the highway authority, refuses them where visibility or the road layout is unsuitable, and that is more common on the older streets. We find out before you spend money on a design.
Which surface suits a Stratford estate house?
Resin bound if you want a seamless, low-maintenance finish; block paving if the house is more traditional or you want to be able to lift and relay a repair; tarmac if it is a large area and economy matters. We price the options on the same survey.
Do you handle the drainage?
Always. A permeable surface over a base that cannot drain still floods. We design the fall, the channel or the soakaway before the dig, and it is itemised in the quote.
