Driveways with Currell Groundworks
Your driveway is more than just a path to your front door; it’s a key element of your home’s kerb appeal and a functional space that needs to withstand daily use. At Currell Groundworks, we understand the importance of a well-crafted driveway. Based in Cambridgeshire, we specialise in creating bespoke driveway solutions that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also built to last. We believe that every driveway should reflect the unique character of your home and meet your specific needs.
A Spectrum of Driveway Finishes: Tailored to Your Taste and Requirements
Block Paving: A Symphony of Style and Functionality
Block paving offers unparalleled versatility in terms of design, colour, and pattern. This allows us to create driveways that perfectly complement the architectural style of your home. One of the key advantages of block paving is its adaptability to varying gradients and complex layouts. We can create multiple falls in different directions, ensuring efficient water drainage. Furthermore, should any section of your block paving become damaged, individual blocks can be replaced, minimising disruption and repair costs. We can also install recessed ‘invisible’ manholes, maintaining a seamless aesthetic.
Gravel driveways offer a cost-effective alternative to other paving options, providing excellent drainage and permeability. The natural sound of gravel underfoot acts as a deterrent to trespassers, enhancing your home’s security. Interestingly, some home insurance providers may offer reduced premiums for properties with gravel driveways. While the noise and feel of gravel is a benefit to some, it is a deterrent for others.
Gravel driveways are also relatively easy to maintain. Raking and occasional top-ups of gravel can keep them looking their best. The free-draining nature of gravel means that rainwater is efficiently dispersed, reducing the risk of puddles and surface water runoff.
Concrete: Enduring Strength and Versatility
Concrete driveways are renowned for their exceptional durability and longevity, providing a robust surface that can withstand heavy use. We offer a variety of concrete finishes, including smooth float/power float for a sleek, contemporary look, and rough brush/tamp for enhanced grip, particularly beneficial on sloping driveways or in areas prone to wet weather. Rough brush/tamp finishes are ideal for areas with steep slopes that may be extra hazardous in the colder wetter months.
Concrete driveways can also be customised with various colours and textures, allowing you to create a unique look that complements your home. Proper installation is crucial for the longevity of a concrete driveway, and our experienced team ensures that every project is completed to the highest standards.
Tarmac: Speed and Resilience
Tarmac driveways offer a rapid installation process, minimising disruption, especially in high-traffic areas such as shared driveways or car parks. Tarmac’s inherent flexibility allows it to withstand minor ground movement, reducing the risk of cracking. The dark colour of tarmac absorbs heat, aiding in the melting of snow and ice during winter months. To prevent edges from crumbling, we always incorporate robust path edging along open perimeters. It is worth noting that tarmac can soften in very hot weather and may fade over time due to prolonged sun exposure.
Tarmac driveways are also relatively low maintenance, requiring only occasional cleaning to keep them looking their best. Their smooth surface makes them easy to clean and maintain, and they are a practical choice for busy households.
