Driveways for homes in Rhodesia
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 Rhodesia
Rhodesia is a small settlement immediately west of Worksop, on the Chesterfield Canal and the road out toward Shireoaks. It is a compact place with a core of older brick housing built around the works and canal, plus later infill, and the plots are generally modest and regular. Small does not mean simple: on a compact frontage, the layout matters more rather than less, because there is no spare room to absorb a mistake in the setting out. Getting the driveway width, the position of the threshold and the fall toward the road right is what makes the difference between a drive that works day to day and one that is awkward to use. Being on the canal, ground conditions closer to the water are checked properly before base depths are settled.
