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

These guys are amazing they totally transformed our patio area. The cost was extremely reasonable for first class workmanship and omg do they work!! I very rarely saw his workers stop to draw breath far less take a break and they were all lovely, friendly and polite guys and cleaned up our property at the end of every working day.
Can’t recommend Neil, Allan and the great workers that they employ highly enough.

Great & completive price. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them. The team were first class from start to finish on the work I had them carry out. Never a problem with any questions I had to ask & I was kept well informed of everything for start to finish. They worked really hard & were professional in everything they did from start to finish.

First class service from start to Finnish. 3 times out to site to discuss options never a hassle. If you want a first class job contact Alan and Neil Walker.

Team very hard working and left garden pathways clean tidy every day. Best workmanship I have ever seen. Big thank you to all the team for hard work. We now have a dream garden the kids can play in.
