Welcome to Howick Driveways
If you’re looking to transform the entrance to your home or business, you’ve come to the right place. At Howick Driveways, we create strong, long-lasting driveways that are both functional and attractive. Whether you’re building from scratch or replacing an old, worn-out surface, we have the skills and experience to deliver quality results.
Our team works across Howick and nearby towns, helping homeowners, business owners, and property developers with all their driveway and paving needs. Every job is done with care, from the planning phase right through to the final touches. We believe that a driveway should add value to your property, make life more convenient, and look good too.
What We Do
We handle all aspects of driveways and paving, including new installations, repairs, and upgrades. Whether you’re looking for a concrete slab, a brick-paved surface, or a low-maintenance gravel driveway, we can help. Below are some of the services we offer:
New Driveway Installations
We install driveways in a range of styles and materials, including brick paving, exposed aggregate, plain concrete, asphalt, gravel, and stone. Our goal is to give you a driveway that suits your home and lasts for years.
Driveway Resurfacing
Is your driveway looking tired? A resurfacing project can bring it back to life without the cost of a full replacement. We apply new layers or finishes to strengthen the surface and improve appearance.
Repairs and Maintenance
Cracks, potholes, and uneven sections are not just ugly — they’re dangerous. We fix damaged driveways by repairing the foundation, re-levelling surfaces, and sealing gaps.
Drainage and Water Management
Poor drainage causes long-term damage to driveways. We offer proper water management systems including slope correction, channels, and drainage grids.
Commercial Driveways and Parking Areas
We also work with businesses and developers to lay durable surfaces for car parks, entrances, and loading zones.
Kerbing and Edging
To keep your driveway neat and prevent crumbling edges, we install kerbs and borders in various styles.
Sealing and Protection
Extend the life of your driveway with a quality sealant. It guards against oil stains, rain damage, and sun fading.
Types of Driveways We Offer
Brick Paving
This timeless choice gives your driveway a classic look. It’s strong, easy to repair, and available in various patterns and colours.
Concrete
A cost-effective and hard-wearing surface for homes and businesses. Can be finished smooth or textured for grip.
Asphalt
Fast to install and great for long or curved driveways. It offers a sleek black finish and is easy to maintain.
Gravel and Stone
Ideal for rural properties or homes with a rustic charm. Gravel provides natural drainage and a crunch underfoot.
