Shere Driveways

Resin bound driveways & overlays

Ideal where you want a neat, low-maintenance finish that still suits a conservation village and rural setting. Smooth, porous resin bound driveways work well for cottages and modernised homes around Shere, Gomshall and Albury.

On many existing tarmac and concrete drives in and around Shere, a resin overlay can refresh the look without a full dig-out, while still allowing us to sort weak spots and edging details.
Resin overlays starting from £40 per m² – based on larger areas with a sound existing surface and generous m² measurements.

Block paving driveways

Block paving suits traditional village streets and period-style properties around Shere, Gomshall, Peaslake and Albury, as well as more modern houses on the approaches to the A25. Brindle, charcoal and rustic tones with neat soldier-course borders give strong kerb appeal and help mark out bays for multi-car households.

Herringbone patterns cope well with regular turning and shared parking, and we offer a range of edge details to tie in with walls, steps and garden paths.

Tarmac & tar & chip

Tarmac driveways are a practical choice for longer approaches, shared forecourts and steeper drives on Surrey Hills slopes around Shere and Peaslake.

For long rural and farm tracks, tar & chip gives a cost-effective, country-lane look – often combined with block or stone edging and neat thresholds where the drive meets the lane.

Excavation & sub-base

We remove old concrete, tarmac or block paving and install a compacted Type 1 or Type 3 sub-base to the correct depth. Falls are set so water runs away from your property and towards suitable drainage features or planted areas.

This is especially important on steeper plots and where chalk and clay meet – common around Shere, Peaslake and the surrounding hills – where poorly built drives can rut, move or wash out.

Laying, edging & drainage details

Whether we’re laying resin, block paving or tarmac, we cut in neatly around steps, walls, flintwork, garages and drains. Channels and grates are built into the design rather than added as an afterthought, helping everything look tidy from the lane or road.

We can convert old-style manhole covers to inset lids so they blend into the new surface – ideal for cottages, village-front properties and shared drives where appearance matters.

We understand Shere layouts

Regular work around Shere, Gomshall, Peaslake, Albury, Chilworth and Silent Pool means we understand typical plots – tight village frontages, banked drives, shared tracks and longer rural approaches.

Free in-person visits

We visit in person, measure up properly and provide a written quotation before any work starts. No pushy selling – just straight answers on which surfaces will work best for your Shere property and budget.

Driveways, patios & paths

As well as driveways, we install matching patios and garden paths so everything ties together – ideal if you want to sort side paths, bin areas or a rear terrace at the same time as the front drive.
