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.
In Craigavon, as anywhere, the base is the part that decides how long a resin surface lasts. The survey settles whether we overlay, repair or rebuild it. Many homes in Craigavon have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Typical projects we can quote for in Craigavon include widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Craigavon
Northern Ireland has its own permitted development order for houses, with conditions on hard surfaces and drainage: the simplest route is a surface that keeps rainwater within your boundary. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas are treated differently, so if any of those apply it is worth checking with your council's planning team before work starts.
If cars will cross the pavement in a new place, or the crossing needs widening, consent is needed from DfI Roads before any kerb work.
General information for Northern Ireland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Northern Ireland has frequent rain spread through the year, so laying days are planned around dry spells and permeable builds make sense. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in County Armagh, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
