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 Ryde says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Plots around Ryde are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
In Ryde we can price work such as framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about driveway extensions and widening.
Prices for driveway extensions and widening in Ryde
Guide prices for Ryde are based on South East rates, which are above the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
As a guide, a 36 m² drive in the PO33 area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be around £3,000–£4,850, including VAT.

|---|---|
| Driveway extensions and widening | £85–£135 per m² |
| Driveway edging and borders | £30–£65 per linear metre |
| Driveway drainage and soakaways | £55–£125 per linear metre |

Planning in Ryde
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.

Weather and working days
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 Ryde jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
