& Surrounding Areas
Your driveway is one of the first things people see when visiting your home. A well built driveway
improves kerb appeal, adds value to your property, and creates a clean, practical entrance that
lasts for decades. At Cheshire Landscape Gardener, we specialise in installing high quality,
durable driveways across Knutsford and all surrounding Cheshire towns within a 15 mile radius.
Whether you’re looking for a modern block paved driveway, a low maintenance resin surface, or
a strong and traditional tarmac driveway, we offer a full installation service using premium materials
and solid foundations.
Types of Driveways We Install • Block Paving Driveways
One of the most popular choices. Available in a wide variety of colours, shapes, and patterns.
Benefits include:
- Durable and long lasting
- Easily repairable
- Multi pattern design options
- Great for modern and traditional homes
- Resin Bound Driveways
A premium, low maintenance option that provides a smooth, seamless finish. Resin is: - Highly durable
- Slip resistant
- UV stable (won’t fade)

- Tarmac Driveways
A strong and cost effective option for high traffic driveways. Perfect for long, straight, or large
driveway areas. - Gravel Driveways
A budget friendly choice that gives a rustic appearance. Gravel also provides natural drainage and
is easy to top up or maintain.
Our Driveway Installation Process 1. Consultation & Design
We begin with a site survey to understand your needs, measure the area, and discuss suitable
materials and layout options.
- Excavation & Groundworks
We dig out the existing surface to a suitable depth, removing old materials, soil, and waste to
prepare for a solid foundation. - Sub Base Installation
We lay and compact MOT Type 1 stone to create a strong foundation resistant to sinking, cracking,
or movement. - Edging & Borders
We install durable edging blocks or kerbs to frame the driveway and retain the shape long term. - Final Surface Installation
Depending on the material chosen, we expertly install block paving, resin, tarmac, or gravel to
complete the surface. - Finishing & Clean-Up
We finish by adding jointing sand (for block paving), smoothing resin, or compacting gravel, and
then fully clean the work area.
Driveways Designed for Longevity A driveway is only as good as its foundations. We never cut
corners — our sub bases are deep, compacted correctly, and built to withstand vehicle weight for
years without sinking or dipping.
