Explore our comprehensive range of expert groundwork and civils services
At United Civils, we install durable, well-constructed driveways designed to handle daily vehicle traffic while enhancing the look of your property. From private homes to commercial entrances, our driveways are built to perform and impress.
Working across Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and Derbyshire, we deliver driveway installations using high-quality materials, proper sub-base construction, and attention to drainage. Whether you need a clean private drive or a heavy-duty commercial forecourt, we’ve got the expertise.
We offer a full range of surface types to suit all needs, styles, and load requirements:
Tarmac driveways – cost-effective, clean, and hardwearing
Concrete driveways – brush finish or decorative exposed aggregate
Block paving – flexible, attractive, and ideal for residential homes
Resin-bound driveways – modern, permeable, and visually striking
Stabilised gravel – traditional look with solid performance
Each driveway is designed around the intended use — whether for single cars, vans, or HGVs — and built with depth specifications and reinforcement to prevent future issues like rutting or edge failure.
A lasting driveway starts below the surface. We excavate to the correct depth, install weed membranes if required, and lay a compacted MOT Type 1 or Type 3 sub-base. All edges are retained with kerbs, setts, or concrete haunching to prevent movement.
Our process includes:
Reduced level excavation
Sub-base placement and full compaction
Drainage integration or permeable alternatives
Edge restraints or border detailing
Laying of surface layer and finishing touches
We ensure every layer is built to spec — not just appearance, but structural integrity.
Driveways must comply with local SUDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems) rules where applicable. We design and install drainage to prevent pooling and surface water runoff, including:
Linear ACO drainage
Soakaways and attenuation crates
Permeable surfaces
Falls away from buildings
We install driveways for:
Private homes and new builds
Housing developments and shared courtyards
Care homes and schools
Office entrances and business parks
Light industrial yards
Whether it’s a neat front driveway or a full commercial car park entrance, we ensure it’s built for use, safe, and ready for surfacing or immediate use.
