What we lay
Driveways are the craft. The rest follows the same care.
Pattern-imprinted concrete, done properly — one continuous slab, coloured through, pressed with real-stone texture and sealed to last the Yorkshire wet.
Imprinted concrete driveways
The drive that greets you every day
Most of what we do is driveways, and it's where the craft shows. We lay charcoal and slate cobble-sett and ashlar mostly — they suit the brick and stone round here — plus warm brindle and sandstone where a house asks for it. It goes down as one continuous slab: dug out to a proper depth, a compacted sub-base, steel where it needs it, then imprinted and coloured while it's green.
- Charcoal, slate, brindle and sandstone colours
- Cobble-sett, ashlar, riven-slab and running-bond patterns
- Expansion cuts set where they belong, so it doesn't crack
- Two-coat wet seal, brushed kiln-dried finish
Every drive is measured on site and quoted bespoke — fixed, written, and free.
Patios & garden steps
The same care, scaled to the garden
The setts and riven-slab finishes that work on a drive work just as well out the back — a patio you'll actually use, stepped thresholds to French doors, and feature circles or compass fans where you want a centrepiece. We match the colour to the house and the border to the planting.
- Riven-slab and sett patios, any shape
- Steps, thresholds and split levels
- Feature circles, fans and compass points
- Sealed and handed back swept
Paths, edging & restoration
Borders, kerbs and tired drives brought back
A curving path that follows the garden round, a soldier-course border to frame a drive, a dropped kerb laid to council spec — the finishing details that make the whole thing read as one. And if you've an older imprinted drive that's gone dull or milky, we can strip it back and re-seal it rather than rip it up.
- Curving paths and side passages
- Soldier-course and contrasting borders
- Dropped kerbs to council specification
- Strip, clean and re-seal of tired drives
How a drive gets laid
Six steps, done in the right order.
Survey & falls
We measure on the drive and set the falls so water runs to the road, not your garage.
Dig-out & sub-base
We lift the old drive and lay a proper compacted base — the bit cheap jobs skip.
Steel & pour
Reinforced and poured to depth, in one continuous slab.
Imprint & colour
Pressed with real-stone texture and coloured through while it's green.
Cut & clean
Expansion cuts where they belong, then washed off.
Wet-seal & hand back
We come back to seal it once it's properly cured — then leave it swept, with a care sheet.
