Built for Addlestone plots · Surrey

Gravel Driveways shaped around how Addlestone homes are built

A well specified gravel driveway is a recurring reason people contact us from KT15. The surrounding housing and ground conditions matter: Addlestone has been heavily regenerated in the last decade with new apartments around the centre, but the surrounding streets are still 1930s-80s semis and detached homes. The Bourne river runs through several gardens and surface-water flooding has become more frequent, which drives SUDS specs. For this service, that leads us to check period fronts in Farnham, Alton and rural Surrey/Hants where tarmac and block paving would look wrong on the elevation before recommending a finish or construction method.

Addlestone constraints worth pricing properly

  • Addlestone is inside our 30-mile core area, so site visits are arranged within a week and project supervision is daily, not weekly.
  • We've spent enough time on KT15 streets to know which ground conditions matter for a gravel driveway - the long straight drives where a grid stops the wheel tracks from wearing a rut down the middle that gets missed when a national firm quotes from a desk.
  • Quotes are written, fixed and broken down by stage, with the same crew on site from day one through to clean-down.

Why the specification is accountable

We're insured to £5m public liability, registered for waste carriage, and every Addlestone job is signed off in person rather than from photos.

Great job, arrived on time with a hard working team that completed the drive to a good standard. Requested some extra work which Steve completed at a fair price and fitted us in very quickly. Would recommend.

FAQs - Gravel Driveways in Addlestone

What should I send before a KT15 site visit?
A wide photo, approximate dimensions, access width and a note about the intended use are enough to make the first conversation useful.
How is the quote made specific to this property?
It records excavation or foundation assumptions, materials, disposal, access, programme and exclusions. The allowance is based on the measured site rather than copied from another town.
What changes the specification around Addlestone?
The first local issue we check is period fronts in Farnham, Alton and rural Surrey/Hants where tarmac and block paving would look wrong on the elevation. We also look at access, levels and whether Runnymede Borough Council needs to be involved before fixing the construction detail.
Can you cover New Haw as part of the same local run?
Yes. New Haw sits within our normal Addlestone working cluster, so it can be grouped with nearby surveys rather than treated as a distant call-out.

A useful next step

If your property sits towards New Haw or elsewhere in KT15, send a photo and rough dimensions first. We can usually identify the decisions that need an on-site check before arranging the visit. This recommendation is scoped to Addlestone gravel driveways enquiries.
