In Gloucester, a new block paving driveway typically costs between £3,000 and £8,000 depending on size, materials, and ground conditions. A plain concrete or tarmac driveway can start from around £1,500–£3,500 for a standard single-car width. Costs vary based on existing surface removal, drainage requirements, and access. SKI Groundworks offers free on-site quotes — call 07920 144601 for an accurate price.
In most cases, you do not need planning permission to replace or install a new driveway in front of your home in Gloucester, provided it uses a permeable surface such as gravel, permeable block paving, or drains onto a lawn. However, if you use an impermeable surface (like solid concrete or standard tarmac) and it is over 5 square metres, permitted development rules require that surface water drains to a soakaway or lawn. Check gov.uk/planning-permission-england-wales for the latest guidance, or ask SKI Groundworks when they visit for your quote.
A well-installed block paving driveway typically lasts 20–30 years or more, provided the sub-base is correctly prepared and the drainage is adequate. Poor sub-base preparation is the most common reason block paving fails early — it settles, cracks, or weeds push through. SKI Groundworks ensures proper excavation and sub-base installation on every driveway project, giving the finished surface the best possible lifespan.
