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

Highly recommend Neil and Alan. Their attention to detail is excellent and they do not leave the job until you are 100% happy - which we were ! We are delighted with our new garden and it was worth the investment.

So we’ve never been ones for sitting out in the garden much but since having our garden transformed by the team it has been such an enjoyable summer for us so far. Alan and the rest of the team that came to sort our garden out were brilliant! They were flexible and accommodating about any changes we wanted to make as things went along and they are very professional. We also had our driveway done which again was completed to a very high standard! If you want something done well and to a high quality finish then Neil Walker Driveways is the company to get in touch with for sure! Thanks so much to everyone on the team for all their hard work, we really appreciate it! 😁

Can’t recommend the whole team at Neil Walker enough. Quality Products, Quality Finish and Competitive Price. Specific shoutout to Mark and Ewan. Despite the torrential rain and wind their attitude was fantastic and their standards and effort remained at a high level throughout. Looking forward to the summer to enjoy our garden now.

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👍🏻
