Driveways in Staines-upon-Thames
Homes in Staines-upon-Thames
Staines-upon-Thames is a Surrey town on the River Thames, and the layout of a new drive starts from the frontage you already have, whether that is a Victorian terrace near the centre or a twentieth-century family home closer to the river. Settle drainage early: a new drive over five square metres in a front garden needs planning permission unless water can soak through it or drain to a lawn or border. The review beside this page praises the advice given throughout a garden project and the transformation it produced. If your drive is part of a wider change to the front or garden, tell us about any paths, patio or landscaping so we can see how the areas connect.
“Fantastic job of our fence, patio, and lawn, garden was a building site prior to this and the transformation is stunning. Great advice given throughout, would highly recommend and we are looking forward to having you back for Phase 2 - side path and driveway 👌🏼”
What matters for driveways in Staines-upon-Thames
Driveways in Staines-upon-Thames start with a conversation about how you use the space: how many vehicles need to park, how you get to the front door and which surface you like the look of. From there we plan the layout around the existing frontage. A drive lasts longest when it sits on a sub-base that has been properly dug out and compacted, so the ground underneath matters as much as the finish on top.
- Choose your surface: block paving, resin bound, tarmac, pattern concrete or natural stone.
- Point to finished drives in our gallery that show the colour, layout or style you want.
- Mention any paths or patio you want at the same time so we can plan the whole frontage.
- Tell us about boundaries and access so the layout fits the plot.
Questions about driveways in Staines-upon-Thames
Do I need planning permission for a new drive in Staines-upon-Thames?

Yes. If you also want pathways, a patio or other landscaping, say so when you get in touch and we will look at how the areas connect.
