A market town with character
Ashby de la Zouch is a historic Leicestershire market town, known for its castle ruins and long market street. Around the centre are Georgian and Victorian houses, with post-war semis and newer estates spreading out towards the bypass and the villages of Packington, Blackfordby and Moira.
Driveways that respect the house
Older Ashby properties suit tumbled block or a resin bound drive in a warm stone colour, which looks at home next to old brick. On the newer roads, black tarmac with a block border or crisp herringbone in charcoal and silver is the usual choice. Where a house sits above the road we build retaining walls and steps as part of the drive.
The same method on every job
Every drive starts with digging out and a compacted sub-base, with edges set on concrete and falls that carry rainwater away from the house. A Google reviewer who had a tarmac drive laid and old brickwork retaining walls repointed by us praised the communication and the finished product. That combination of drive and walling work is common on Ashby's sloping frontages.

Market town drives and country homes
Ashby de la Zouch has an old market town centre around the castle and Market Street, plus newer estates and village homes in the countryside around it. For cottages and older homes, a gravel drive with firm edging keeps the look right; for modern homes, resin or block paving gives a clean finish. We also resurface and seal tired tarmac drives.
