Riverside Driveways

Driveways serve as essential elements of residential and commercial properties, providing access to garages, parking areas, and entrances.

If you are looking in rebuilding your driveways, there are several types of driveways, each with its unique characteristics, advantages that you will need to take into consideration. Here is an overview of some common types of driveways:

Asphalt / Tarmac Driveways:
- Material: Asphalt driveways are made from a mixture of asphaltic cement and aggregate materials.
- Advantages: They are cost-effective, durable, and offer a smooth, sleek appearance. Asphalt driveways are also relatively easy to repair.
Concrete Driveways:
- Material: Concrete driveways are constructed using a mix of cement, water, and aggregate like sand or gravel.
- Advantages: Concrete driveways are durable, long-lasting, and can be customized with various finishes and colors. They are also resistant to oil stains.
Gravel Driveways:
- Material: Gravel driveways consist of small stones or pebbles spread over a prepared surface.
- Advantages: Gravel driveways are cost-effective, provide good drainage, and are relatively easy to install. They also offer a rustic and natural appearance.
Paver Driveways / Block Paving:
- Material: Paver driveways use interlocking concrete, brick, or stone pavers set in a pattern.
- Advantages: Pavers offer a visually appealing and versatile option. They are durable, easy to repair, and allow for creativity in design.
Cobblestone Driveways:
- Material: Cobblestone driveways use natural stone materials, often granite or basalt.
- Advantages: Cobblestone driveways provide a classic and elegant look. They are durable and can withstand heavy loads, but they may require more maintenance.
Stamped Concrete Driveways:
- Material: Stamped concrete driveways are regular concrete that is stamped or embossed to resemble other materials like brick, slate, or tile.
- Advantages: Stamped concrete driveways offer the aesthetic appeal of various materials with the durability of concrete. They are often more cost-effective than using the actual materials.
Exposed Aggregate Driveways:
- Material: Exposed aggregate driveways involve revealing the natural texture of the aggregate (stones, pebbles) used in the concrete mix.
- Advantages: Exposed aggregate driveways provide a unique and textured surface. They are slip-resistant and can enhance the overall aesthetics of the property.
Green or Grass Driveways:
- Material: Grass driveways involve planting grass or other vegetation in a grid of pavers or a honeycomb support structure.
- Advantages: Green driveways allow for natural drainage, reduce heat absorption, and contribute to a more eco-friendly environment. They can be aesthetically pleasing and blend with the landscape.

When choosing a driveway type, factors such as budget, climate, maintenance requirements, and the aesthetic preferences of the property owner should be considered. Additionally, local regulations and environmental considerations may impact the choice of materials and construction methods.

We do not take any short cuts, a driveway needs to be built to the correct depth for the amount of traffic using it.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Riverside Driveways. They completed our block paved driveway a few months ago, and we couldn't be happier with the results. The team was professional, worked hard, and did an absolutely excellent job from start to finish. The driveway looks fantastic and completely improves the overall look of our house.

Jimmy is a man of his word. Everything he promised during the initial quote, he delivered on time and at the agreed price. It’s hard to find reliable tradespeople these days, so dealing with someone so straightforward was a breath of fresh air. The whole job was completed without a single penny paid up front and only once completed, and he was sure we were satisfied, did he ask for payment.

Jim and his team have done a great job completing our driveway following removal of garden area and drainage digging for an extension. A nice simple gravel driveway which has made such a difference for us. Great team of lads who worked really hard and completed a great job.

The team were both hard working & friendly whilst remaining professional at all times, they were a credit to both themselves and to Jim. We couldn't be more pleased with our front driveway which was finished with the minimum of fuss and mess with all the rubble etc taken away. All finished within two days. Amazing 10/10.

The original plan for our drive came undone after finding an issue with the depth of the house foundations, but Riverside were able to adapt and knock out a great solution. They even fixed our fence!
