Old English Paving
Choose a driveway around how you use the entrance.
For a Hereford driveway, begin with the space you need rather than a surface colour. Consider where cars park, whether they can turn, how visitors reach the door and whether gates or garage doors can open fully. On a larger entrance, separate the parking and walking routes on your sketch so borders, lighting provisions and connecting paths can be discussed before construction.
Tarmac creates a continuous surface and can be combined with block-paved edging. Block paving offers patterns and borders, with individual units that can be considered when planning future access below the drive. Resin-bound surfacing provides a decorative aggregate finish. The suitable option depends on the existing construction, levels, intended traffic and drainage as well as the look you prefer.
When replacing an old driveway, identify the cause of the failure first. Covering cracks, movement or standing water with a new finish may leave the original problem underneath. At the survey, ask whether the existing structure is suitable for resurfacing or whether removal and reconstruction are needed. Transitions at the highway, garage, paths and door thresholds should be assessed together.
A complete quotation should identify the measured area, removal and waste disposal, preparation, supporting construction, surface specification, edging and any drainage work. If you are comparing materials, keep this scope consistent across the prices. Ask what happens if unsuitable ground is uncovered and agree how any additional work would be discussed before it proceeds.
Patios and garden paths can be included in the same plan. Allow room around outdoor furniture, think about access to the rest of the garden and decide how steps or changes in level will be handled. Old English Paving serves Hereford and selected surrounding parts of Herefordshire from its regional bases; send the property postcode to confirm coverage and arrange a visit.

Useful answers
Questions worth asking before anybody starts digging.
How do I get a driveway quotation in Hereford?
Contact Old English Paving with the postcode, approximate area, current surface and the work you are considering. Photographs and details of narrow access, standing water or damaged sections help prepare for the free, no-obligation survey. The quotation follows assessment of the actual property.
Can an old tarmac driveway be resurfaced?
It may be possible if the existing structure, levels and drainage are suitable. Widespread movement, failed edges or insufficient clearance at thresholds can make an overlay unsuitable. Ask the surveyor to explain the proposed preparation and why resurfacing or replacement is recommended.
What affects the cost of a driveway in Hereford?
Size, access for excavation and deliveries, removal of the old drive, ground conditions, drainage, edging and the surface specification all matter. Compare written quotations covering the same work, including waste removal and any exclusions. A photograph alone cannot establish the condition of the base.
Can you quote for a larger entrance or turning area?
Yes. Explain the vehicles using it and the turning space needed. The survey should consider the full area, access during construction and how water is managed across the site. The surface and supporting layers need to suit the expected use.
Can you install a patio and paths with the driveway?
Yes. Coordinating them allows the materials, boundaries and levels to be planned together. Identify doors, gates, seating areas and any steps so the quotation includes the connections as well as the main paved areas.
Do you cover villages outside Hereford?
