Driveways for homes in Rainworth
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 Rainworth
Rainworth is a village between Mansfield and Southwell that grew substantially around Rufford colliery, giving it a core of planned brick housing on regular plots alongside more recent private development. It sits on the edge of the Sherwood sandstone belt on generally free-draining ground, which is favourable for driveway and patio base construction. The village's plots tend to be regular and reasonably generous — the sort where a driveway can be laid out properly with a defined border and turning area rather than squeezed in, and where a rear garden has enough length to justify separating a patio close to the house from a lawn or artificial grass area further down. Mature hedging and established boundaries are common and usually worth designing around.
