What driveway extensions and widening involves
A driveway extension adds new hard-standing to an existing drive, usually by taking in part of the front garden, so more cars can park off the road. The new area needs its own excavation and base, and the whole drive is often resurfaced in resin so old and new match.
Any quote we prepare in Gerrards Cross says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Plots around Gerrards Cross are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
In Gerrards Cross we can price work such as framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Gerrards Cross
In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Permitted development rights apply to houses, not flats or maisonettes, and some conservation areas have Article 4 directions that remove them. Listed buildings can need consent if railings or historic walls are affected.
If cars will cross the pavement in a new place, or the crossing needs widening, consent is needed from your council as local highway authority before any kerb work.

The South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Gerrards Cross jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
