How We Work - Neil Walker Driveways

The steps to your completed driveway

1
Removal of existing surface

We will lift and remove any current surface, such as monoblock, slabs or tarmac.

2
Reduction in level

This is where we excavate the ground down to a suitable bearing stratum.

3
Waste Removal

We use SEPA registered waste carriers to remove and recycle all waste from our sites, ensuring all private and public paths and roads are clean and tidy.

4
Sub-base

We build from the bearing stratum up to the required build height using a material called Type 1. This is compacted in small layers to achieve a full load bearing capacity, effectivity acting as the foundations to your driveway.

5
Edging stones

Your edging stones are then laid on a wet mortar bed before being haunched to the front and rear of each block. These kerb or edging stones ensure there is no lateral movement of your driveway.

6
Sand Screed

Monoblock and Tegula blocks are laid on a sand screed that is compacted to allow a smooth, level bed to accept the block for a perfect and even finish.

7
Kiln Dried Sand

Upon completion of block install, very fine, kiln dry sand is brushed into the joints of the block before it is then compacted using a vibrating plate to ensure, a sealed, completed finish to your property investment

A big thanks to Neil and Alan Walker and their team for a brilliant job. Our new driveway and fence looks brilliant. The service and work carried out was first class from start to finish. Special shout out to Mark, Euan and Stevie (plus guy who fitted fence). They worked really hard throughout and did a superb job! I would highly recommend. Rich

Would have no hesitation recommending Neil and the team. From start to finish the team were really professional and always happy to answer any questions that we had throughout. Really hard working, punctual and left the site tidy at the end of each day. They’ve totally transformed our back garden with a new patio and fencing and we couldn’t be happier. Thanks again to the whole team👍🏻

Fantastic service and highly recommended.

Our garden was previously totally unusable due to poor drainage. However, nothing was ever a problem and the whole process was seamless.
The guys worked in all weathers and have completely transformed the garden.

We previously used Neil Walker Driveways for the driveway and when it came to the garden it was such an easy decision for them to come back. TBH did not even consider going anywhere else. I also really appreciated the attention to detail and the fact the place was left spotless. The guys dedicated their time to clearing up everyday and that certainly didn’t go noticed.

Just had our driveway paved using Neil Walker Driveways. Work was completed to an exceptional standard of finish, despite the challenges of rain, frost & snow. Both of the owners and the guys doing the work were great to deal with, including a couple of tweaks to the finish which we requested during the installation. Communication before and during the project was first class and we are delighted with the finished result. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Before & after pictures below - thanks guys ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Can’t recommend this company highly enough!

Had a complete garden renovation - being a new build, the drainage was barely there so even hanging the washing out was like wading through quick sand! These guys came in, laid completely new drainage systems, laid an L shaped sandstone patio area with edging, new turf and built beautiful raised sleeper beds at the back. They are really good at replicating your design ideas but also steering you to make the right decisions when it comes to choosing the finishes without being pushy. They were super informative about what they were doing each step of the way to explain what was getting delivered and why.

The quality of work is simply outstanding. The guys have great banter too so it was actually nice having them on site each day rather than a hindrance.

Highly recommend this company and can’t wait to book them back in to do more work for me in our front garden and driveway!

I’ve attached a few pictures but they honestly don’t do the level of work justice!

A very professional company that I would highly recommend.
Throughout the whole project all calls and messages were answered immediately and Neil and Alan visited several times to discuss ideas and explain the process.
The work started as planned and finished on the agreed date ( it would have been quicker if it wasn’t for poor weather)
The full team are obviously experienced and turned up early every day and went straight to work. All were very polite and the worksite was kept very tidy with time put aside each evening to clean the area and public paths.
A very hard working team who completed the new driveway to a finish that we are delighted with.
