Driveways for homes in Forest Town
A driveway is the first thing anyone sees when they pull up outside your house, and it takes more punishment than any other surface on the property. We design and lay driveways from the ground up — lifting the old surface, excavating to the right depth, getting the sub-base and drainage right, then finishing in the material that suits the property. Resin, block paving, or a combination with a contrasting border, edging and a proper threshold. The finish is the part you see; the preparation underneath is the part that decides whether it still looks right in ten years, and it is where we spend the time.
Working in Forest Town
Forest Town sits on the eastern edge of Mansfield and was built as a model village for Mansfield Colliery, which gives the older part of it a planned, consistent layout — regular streets of brick housing on uniform plots with defined front gardens and long rear gardens. Considerable modern development has expanded the settlement since, adding newer estate housing with smaller, level plots. The planned older housing is genuinely rewarding to work with because the plots are consistent and generous: there is room for a driveway with proper turning space and a rear garden that can carry a full scheme rather than a single patio. The area sits on the free-draining Sherwood sandstone, favourable for base construction but still requiring proper compaction under a driveway.
