Driveways: common questions
How much does a new driveway cost in Teesside?
It depends on size, material and groundworks. As a rough North East guide, block paving typically runs £50, £90 per m² installed, tarmac £40, £70, and gravel is the cheapest upfront. Always get three written quotes, prices between firms vary more than most people expect.
Do I need planning permission for a new driveway?
Usually no if the surface is permeable or drains to a lawn or border. Laying more than 5m² of impermeable surfacing in a front garden without drainage does need permission, a decent installer will know the rules and tell you straight.
How long does a driveway installation take?
A typical two-car driveway takes three to five working days including excavation and base work, weather permitting. Resin overlays on a sound existing base can be done in a day or two.
