How We Work | How We Install Our Professional Driveways - Neil Walker

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

We are delighted with the outcome of our garden project (drainage, new turf, planters, paving and patio). Alan was very helpful in terms of the design, which was then executed to a very high standard. With Neil, Mark, Brian and Darren, the team at Neil Walker Landscaping was a pleasure to work with from start to finish.The project came in on budget and we considered the original quote to be competitive and value for money compared to other companies. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and will happily use them again. Their recent award success is so well-deserved.

We would highly recommend Neil Walker Landscaping and Driveways after the transformation of our new build garden. From the very first meeting with Alan, it was clear he could help us achieve our vision without the need to compromise on the products we wanted. Neil and his team were professional, friendly and provided work of a very high standard throughout. Overall we are very pleased with our garden and look forward to enjoying it for many years.

You have this idea in your head and they absolutely make it happen 👏 From going through everything with Alan at first meet who listened to everything i was looking for, right through to the end I was kept up to date with everything and any changes that had to be made I was given different options from both Neil & Alan before they went ahead. Their knowledge and attention to detail is second to none. I don't know how they do it, but I honestly can't thank them and their team enough for making my mud pit a dream garden. They arrive when they say they will, all have happy and friendly attitudes, clean up after every day and definitely all love what they do. No wonder they have won so many awards! I would definitely recommend Neil Walker Driveways/Landscapes, they are well worth the wait, you won't be disappointed by this very professional company 👌 Thank you so much again, it's just perfect 🥰

Allan and Neil talked us through our proposed garden renovation. The team then delivered a very high spec, finished job which we are delighted with. We found everyone involved very friendly and very professional. We particularly liked how members of the team were only too happy to explain what was happening at each stage. We would have no hesitation in recommending this company.

Recently had our back garden transformed by Alan, Neil & their team. We couldn't be happier with the results!! Would 100% recommend this company - the quality of the work is superb, we were kept up to date throughout the job and the surrounding area was left tidy at the end of each day.

Allan and Neil have come through for us yet again by adding an extra level onto our beautiful patio area which they completed earlier this year. Del worked all day in the sweltering heat to complete the job in one day and he did it with his nonstop hard work and as last time attention to detail. He is a lovely, courteous, friendly and professional young man who talked us through each step to make sure it was precisely what we wanted. Thanks Neil Walker Driveways we are very happy customers.Lindsay and Keith MurrayKirkintilloch
